The guy hardly practices and he's winning tournaments with his pure talent rather than working his ass off like some of these Korean guys, what a boss.

I think that's just shit tbh. He can't barely practice and still perform so well.


Nerf Stephano? Force him to play with one hand? The kid is just born for RTS.

anyone else see those people on stream on the stage dancing and having a good time and feel completely alone and empty inside knowing that once the stream goes offline they are going to go have a great time while you sit in front of your computer in a dark room in an empty house surrounded by deafening silence?

;_;


I'm thinking a similar thing, except more annoyed that they'll be partying all night while I have to sleep because I have work that I don't want to go to tomorrow.

Stephano's success/failure in GSL would be totally dependent on the other players figuring out a counter to his playstyle. He's not going to change his style up as that would be foolish.

Well, he beat a player who is in the Ro4 in the current GSL.


Beating a GSL player =/= doing well in GSL. In GSL people have time to study your games and figure out how you play they can prepare build just to beat your playstyle. You can't do that in a weekind lan.

Stephano is a great player but you can't call someone who has never played in the hardest SC2 Tournament the best SC2 Player


You don't think MC prepared for his overseas rival? Stephano was his only obstacle for the finals and it was a Bo7...


MC flew from Germany to Korea played his Ro8 match then flew to Ontario for NASL. I doubt he had much time to prepare specific builds.

You sir are the epitome of maturity, commenting on a joke made by a professional gamer on a gaming forum.

worst closing ceremony ever


You've probably never been on a party before.

Maybe, just fucking maybe, people like and appreciate different things?

Why must LR threads become a circlejerk of people trying to validate their own taste?

Why must people call it the worst ceremony if it's clearly subjective as you say? It applies both ways.

Let the guy whine about the ceremony! By people stirring it up it just becomes a back and forth and all other discussion becomes lost in the background.

Oddly enough, Stephano's style is probably one of the most studied in the game. Certainly outside of Korea, and even inside Korea, I think it's up there. He does the same thing every game too (barring that one muta game with MC) and still beats people.

worst winner ceremony ever seen -.-
2nd+3rd place? no checks? whats that dancing?

dont think i'll stay up for NASL ever again /sigh

they may all drunk over there or what?


You gotta be trolling .. I can't actually understand how can people enjoy MLG like winning ceremonies, it's like everybody stands in line and just completely kills any momentum of the win. And yeah dancing is fun for some people. It was like the best ceremony EVER


I just see it as a should-be-professional sports event with a somewhat official ending/crowning of the winners..
And for the dancing part there are after partys, ever heard of that?

I think this overall closing just gave the whole finals a pretty unprofessional touch hurting eSports
