#newzergbonjwa Did MC bust out some new strategies to beat DRG? Recap me! <3 drg actually just played rather badly today. disappointing tbh, didn't compare to mc's standard game
Ahh.....yeah well when MC gets in the zone he makes everyone look terrible.
"Aren't you still jetlagged due to all the foreign tournaments?
It's true I had a hard time after just 2 hours of sleep. However, my mind woke up on its own. It became clear as soon as I sat down in the booth. It's amazing how this competitive will is ever present. "
Engaging nerd murder spree....zzzttt

I definitely can't remove of my head a 4 - 0 prediction in favor of MC... :/
Hope i'll be wrong, but still....

Anyone trying to make any claims about who is better than who is an idiot.
DRG may have just had an off day.
GSL is like no other tournament, with a significant amount of time to prepare.
MC may have been tired at previous tournaments and really showed his game today.
Stephano may have gotten lucky against MC and caught him on a bad day.
Stephano has yet to prove himself in a GSL format.
There are a hundred more scenarios you could add to this list. There's absolutely no need for this talk yet.

there have been harder roads for sure any idea of who? sorry my history is weak. i know all the champs just can't remember any incredible runs aside from face rolls (NesTea, Squirtle) i think mvp had a harder one polt, mc, nestea, huk, july, top
Eh, I'd say Ganzi, Sniper, Squirtle, MKP, Taeja, and DRG is a comparably difficult road to Polt, MC, Nestea, HuK, July, and Top. Ganzi and Sniper are merely average IMO, but Squirtle, MKP, and DRG are tip-top players of their respective races, and ELO may have its flaws, but anyone who can attain rank 1 ELO is pretty damn good (in regards to Taeja). I don't remember how in-form MVP's opponents were but nevertheless, MC's road was pretty damn hard.

polt, mc and nestea won the three GSLs prior to Mvp's own run, so they were pretty in form  huk was the foreign hope and july was playing pretty decently iirc

And maybe, just maybe, Stephano was the better player at NASL and would have beaten any protoss at this time ? 
Anyway, agreed with your first sentence, all of those guys can win or lose against each other depending on current form or metagame evolution, and unless you make them play bo11 every day for a month against each other there won't be any clear "best player in the world".
Nerchio was the hype at HSC, Stephano was the hype at NASL, soon MC or Seed will be the hype at GSL, etc...
As long as we get good games, that's actually good to have diversity among top players and not to always see the same faces.
Pvp finals tho, even if the matchup has improved a lot since the 4 gates era, can't say it appears that entertaining :s

Also, Top was in the finals so he was not average at the time by any means.

4 gsls before because Nestea had just come off 2 including his undefeated GSL season. GSL March, May, Super Tournament, and July were won by MC, Nestea, Polt, and NesTea respectively

looking at all these things of what tasteless has said
its funny how he's been the one being bashed when he has called both Seed and Jjakji.

Stephano may have gotten lucky against MC and caught him on a bad day.
It's not the first time Stephano won against MC, I'll even said that every series they made over the past few month have been reeeeeally close (red bul, mlg, NASL... etc) and each match in these series have also been close, so it seems to me that they both are on the same level and one day stephano will win, the other day it will be MC. About GSL, I disagree about the fact he has to "prove himself", I don't consider that gsl is the only tournament that count, it's not true anymore since all top Koreans already goes to the biggest foreigner competition.
I really think that Stephano ZvP is the best in the world, but his fluctuant ZvZ makes him more fragile, sadly I really don't think he has a lot of chance against DRG/Symbol/Nestea in a Bo3/5.

I love Nani and he's the one who's proven in the GSL, but I wouldn't bet on him if they played a BO7 showmatch. Not yet anyway. Seriously, why do people insist on talking about Stephano in here, or making comparisons because so-and-so beat so-and-so? Ever consider the possibility that some people play different styles, have bad days, got the wrong end of some luck, there were bad maps, etc? TLO went 1-2 against MC at HSCV whereas DRG went 0-3...clearly TLO superior player.
Lol yeah if you want to bring that up, you also have to bring Nerchio into the discussion, who 3-1'd MC at HSC. Guess Stephano, Nerchio, and TLO are all superior players to MC -_-;; Fact is that the GSL is the hardest tournament in the world and we've seen many players beat extremely strong GSL players in foreign tournaments only to fall in the GSL themselves. The thing is that in foreign tournaments, there's almost always a massive lineup of average/mediocre players who the favorites usually smash through, and then we usually have some mixture of the usual foreign tournament-competing Koreans and top foreigners like Stephano in the quarterfinals to the finals. In the GSL, anyone can beat anyone because the level of competition is so high.
