Or maybe DRG just plain sucked last night? I feared that this would happen...

And what exactly are you in awe of again?

Man, DRG did not look (physically) healthy in those games at all! Those mid-game pushes he did were amazingly half-hearted, and MC just strong-armed him three times in a row!

MC going to the grand finals! Yesssss, this is going to be so epic! I can't wait to see it!

What universe do you live in where Stephano stomped MC at NASL? It was 4-2, and the games MC won were completely one-sided and the losses were generally close and decided by one misplay. Maybe you should consider the possibility that one series doesn't determine who the better player is?

it's okay typical stephano bandwagoners.

Seriously, I knew the second DRG lost the rest of this LR would be about Stephano. Remember, losing one series makes you the inferior player. Such as Byun beating Seed in groups but falling 3-1 in the ro4. Or MC 3-0'ing DRG one day at an MLG then getting 3-0'd or 3-1'd the next day. And 3-0'ing him today, because DRG is clearly a scrub. So on and so on. The best player in the world is decided every single new series played apparently, because if you don't have a 100% win rate you are nothing.

Actually, since Syz beat mana 2-0 and mana beat Stephano 2-0, Syz has the best ZvP. You could really see the difference between Syz and Stephano from those series.

Not surprising DRG went down 3-0. DRG didn't look too strong against Naniwa, despite Naniwa being weakest in PvZ.

And I don't know why people are so quick to discredit Stephano. His ZvP is probably best in the world, and he continually proves that. The one loss in ZvP that stands out recently as surprising is when he lost to Mana... other than that he has continued to do well against the best, including against MC... a protoss who many call the best PvZer.

It's almost as if some people are like "Oh please Stephano can't be better than a Korean in a match up... it must all be hype despite him having the results."

Stephano only had NASL while MC had GSL NASL and homestory.
Stephano didn't have to hide strategies/builds for GSL semi-finals.
MC had a winning record against Stephano before the event.
MC has won 3 tournaments and 2 thirds place finishes and most likely a GSL win. Stephano has had maybe 2/3 tournament wins and WCS France was kind of weak.

Stephano beating MC 4-2 does NOT mean that he is the superior player....jeeze.

These threads are getting so awesome. Top notch O.P., opterown.

For some reason I feel like it's going to be a PvP final and that there will be an inordinate amount of complaining about it.

However, I'm cheering for MC and Byun! These games should be so interesting.

i'm not even in his fan club please try again. i was actually rooting for MC to win.

stephano has had nothing but consistent results and that's all i care about. he's one of the top zergs and that's all there is to it. is he better than MC or DRG? MC beat him at red bull, but stephano got his revenge, so only time will tell. however, he is definitely able to win against a gsl champion no problem.
