One BO3 is definitely going to prove that Stephano couldn't hold up in GSL. Point is, we won't actually know until he goes (if he ever goes) to compete. A lot of Koreans seem to have a very strong opinion of his play, but a lot of Koreans also had a strong opinion on Thorzain's play and that hasn't gotten him very far in Korea, so who knows?

Eh... I always thought Thorzain was way too predictable (which is VERY bad as a terran) to be able to win consistently in Korea.


And Stephano isn't lol?

I just got home and looked at the results, I love the fact that Goody is keeping the foreigner hopes alive right now. How in the world did this happen?

Being predictable as zerg isn't really a problem.
Terran can't really be like that because they are not the recieving end of the early to midgame.

Imagine, 7 even games that go to the überlate game each of 'em going over an hour :D

Yeah having the first PvP finals ever being their longest would be so ironic considering how the matchup looked in the past and all the GomTvT.

The difference is that Stephano's build is good against everything as long as he scouts it and reacts properly. In the games against Oz, he got thrown out of his element by a bizarre opening in games 1 and 2, and in game 3 didn't scout a crazily early third. Had he scouted that third, he would have reacted and been in a good position. Instead, he caught it too late and was basically dead from there.

If we see 7 games of it it could be longer than a Goody TvT series.

Stephano is way better than Thorzain to be fair. Thorzain's never even been close to the top 10 in the world.

I think Stephano could do really well in Code S, but he could also go out in Round 1 just like MC, MVP, DRG and MKP have done in the past.

Thorzain is a very good terran player, stephano is a top 3 zerg in the world player. Both are great, but one is better than the other.
