he has the results to back it up.

Not really, he's never won a league. Of course, he's never actually tried to win a GSL or an OSL, but until he does that he really hasn't proven himself to that point: no amount of MLG, IPL and Dreamhack entitles you to be that cocky


Why do so many people think Stephano can't be good in the GSL, yet players like MKP get so much credit? Maybe not you specifically, but it seems strange, considering MKP hasn't made > R016 in over a year iirc. And the game wasn't very developed back then.

I swear, there's foreigner-lovers and people that absolutely hate them. Naniwa made Ro8 twice in a row and people still considered him bad. It seems like nothing short of a GSL championship will ever "validate" a foreigner. And even then I bet people will come up with excuses as to how they had the easiest opponents ever.

I don't think MKP is that great. Like, I roled my eyes when people where calling him the best in the world. NaNiwa also has the best foreigner results this year, for my money. And frankly, I do think Stephano could win the GSL. But until he does well in it (like Ro8/Ro4), he isn't really proven in my eyes. GSL is where people dismantle your play.


Again, Taeja (granted you quoted before I edited). And again, I don't necessarily mean you in particular, but hundreds of people jumped on calling Taeja one of if not the best player in the world and he's only been to Ro8. And like I said, you might not (about MKP) but you have to admit a lot of people do.

Actually the money at "ze bank" entitles you to be that cocky. Since he's a profession that's his goal and he achieves that.


Ok , mate, this is stupid. So Bill Gates can come and say he's the best basketball player , then he points to the bank account to back it up.
Stephano is very good, but you're logic is rubish . And there are too many like you.

If Bill Gates had earned his riches from winning basketball competitions, then yes he could say that.


This would mean that the reward is proportional with the talent, which is obviously not in the scene. I am pretty sure that most koreans that would kick Stephano's ass do worse than him financially. Also there are players that didn't hit top 16 of a tournament in ages, but still do quite well, compared to better, harder working players.
Again, Stephano=good, logic=bad.


Which Koreans?

http://www.esfiworld.com/news/polt-stops-stephano-claim-assembly-winter
Quick example, Polt . I know there are some more, search for it if you want the whole list


Polt and Stephano are at a very similar level. They alternate beating each other fairly often.


Yes, the initial point WAS that even though they are at the same level there is a difference between their income.
Therefore skill isn't necessarily proportional with income.
Some people have a hard time grasping that.

I like this ban thing.
It's like the draft in Dota, it build hype.
Perhaps less than in dota but it's quicker so it's okay

i must say this event is top notch. Perfect production. Great commentators/casting. This event and dreamhack are probably the 2 best in sc2 to date.

Oh god it's you again, everytime someone criticizes stephano in any way you pop up out of nowhere to start an argument x_x well have fun

Eh at least he's not happychris that guy single handedly made me a stephano anti fan

happychris was pretty hardcore but there are a couple of guys who, in time, could become as good as him.

happens when you dodge GSL your entire career


LMAO. Not even the top Korean has been able to do what Stephano has done outside of Korea. He is the highest earning player in 2012 now.

God, you people and you "We will see how he does in GSL". Dumb people everywhere I guess



My problem with the ego is that it doesn't seem like he is attempting to challenge himself as a player to be the best. If he really wanted to prove he was the best he would compete in the GSL then there would be no complaints...well there probably still would be but in my eyes he would have proven himself. As a basketball fan stephano seems like the foreign players Lebron James from a year ago clearly the best but until you get that ring your not the champ. It's just kinda a shame that stephano can make so much money while not having to prove himself.

Stephano said several times during interviews that he plays sc2 only for the money and nothing else. So from his point of view i guess it is total fine to not go to the gsl.
