Nerchio about to challenge Stephano for best foreign zerg? He's already taken #1 on the international ELO.


Stephano just won French National without dropping a single map.
Could be an interesting fight =)


no offense to my French neighbors, but i don't think thats a reference.

From what i can see is that he did the mineral trick to push the DTs away from the hatch and then surround it so he couldn't kill it. If you take a close look at the video around 7:31:36 you can the the drones selected an moving towards the minerals as he tries to do the trick. He tries a couple of times and then in the last second he succeed. Really pimp play. Pay close attention to the drones and you can se them moving back and forth toward the minerals as he tries to do it.

The question is how do you even think to do that, like as a concept.
And then you ask how do you manage to remember you can do that in the middle of a high pressure final.
And then you ask how do you manage to actually do it in the middle of a high pressure final.

They're both excellent players, but I don't think they're going to meet until WCS Europe? Is Nerchio going to WCS Europe?

Stephano has NASL, while Nerchio has TSL. Stephano hasn't qualified for TSL and Nerchio is not qualified for NASL. MLG Summer Arena?


Nerchio won WCS Poland, so he should be going there.


Awesome, fitting that the two best Zergs in Europe are going to clash in WCS Europe.

Maybe the balance of invited/qualified should be rethought for HSCVI? As it is, the qualified players just rolled.

more qualifiers, less invites would be great obviously

Really happy to see Yonghwa did well, and congrats to Nerchio! Those EU players are pretty good I guess they keep winning tournaments over some good Korean players

I'd absolutely love to go to the Homestory Cup one day. I mean, I'm a crap player, but it would be awesome just to go and drink and hang out. They look like they have a right laugh.

I must say that I was extremely surprised by Happy, he wasn´t attending any HSC before, but he was great (playing and casting). Mana is always a welcome addition and Tarson, Dimaga (Grubby, too, he didn´t attend, sadly) are a must IMHO, they really live what the HSC is all about.

So all the people who were so unimpressed and swore that Yonghwa simply messed up and moved his DTs too soon were wrong? Good to know

Nerchio showing us Stephano's not the top foreigner zerg.


Dont start that shit again.

Just enjoy Nerchio's victory.


Lol Stephano didn't even play this tournament, but if he had i'm sure he would have won it. Nerchio gets his first big offline tournament win and he is now magically THE top foreign zerg. LOL for days.


Don't be ridiculous, Nerchio was the best foreign zerg before Stephano rised, like one year ago, but americans didn't know that of course, like they didn't know who kas was before tsl3.
Now the same guys who didn't know who Nerchio is are like "wtf this guy isn"t supposed to be that good" but he is. He is as talented as stephano, and has been regular for 2 years now, he just didn't won much live events because he couldn't attend because he is not a full time pro.


Back then Stephano practiced a lot and became better than Nerchio, but Nerchio kept practicing, while Stephano stopped, and now Nerchio is catching up to him.

Nerchio is #1 EU GM. You don't get #1 EU GM by not playing.

Stephano's stopped laddering from what I'm able to see. He does play custom games, etc., but it's not the same. When Stephano was rising he was destroying everyone on ladder and getting 85-90% win rates on EU GM. That's how you're able to tell that a player is aiming for the top, and Nerchio is.

EDIT: But then again, there are a couple of smurf Zergs on EU GM. Is Stephano one of them?

For example, X Tentaculat, #17 EU GM, has a higher win rate in GM than Nerchio.

Stephano participates to almost every major tournament available. As such he has very little time to practice on the ladder, he also mentioned that he doesn't have a home right now so his situation is quite precarious (not money wise obviously)

omg what a shame and bad player won. It was just pure luck that nerchio won. So lucky, koreans should win, just zerg imba and nerchio cheating. Yonghwa is better but he was drunk too much before the match, MC played without sound. I heard that Tarson and Mana helped Nerchio and gave him signs about dark templars. Yonghwa played with 30fps only and Nerchio stream cheating. Idra was right about him.
