@eunsu111: There is rumor that By.Sun is ranked number one in practice. Is this true?
A : By.Sun will grow into a force to be reckoned. He has a gift that leaves him no choice but to be good at this game. He can watch his teammates' games and copy their strategy and management on the fly. I'm not talking just the overall, I'm talking timings down to the second, building placements down to the very pixel, and harassment like you were watching a replay. He is an intricate copy machine. On top of this he knows how to adapt and think outside the box, and win the game when he has the advantage. He thinks when he plays so he will grow into a great player.

Who's the translator? Not only are his bilingual skills amazing but he's also quite stylish. Snowbird - he's awesome! Difficult to crush on him. John started out on the floor, promoted to pillow. This guy shows up and gets his own chair 
And then complains about the chair! What a Diva!!!

Equal is such an understatement. Look at his price money, look who he won against. I think right now you could say hes the best zerg in the world without making a fool out of yourself. Yeah there are players like DRG, Symbol who are around his level, but i don't think they are better. Nerchio though is equal to Korean Zergs. Hes really solid and can take games of koreans, i give im a 50 % winrate against high code a / low code s, but hes not there right at the top. I don't think most people will accept that until stephano steps into a GSL booth.
Exactly, I dont see how you can crown Stephano best zerg in world without winning in GSL. Thats just how I feel though

come on DRG, pull yourself together!

I fully agree. I wish I could understand Korean to say for sure - I was at MLG with a friend who spoke Korean and he was telling how the translator there was putting a lot of spin/interpretation on what the players were saying - but Snowbird's demeanor sounded very matter of fact and measured with the words he was picking out (very impressive English vocabulary etc).

I feel like when TaeJa was dominating he was playing a lot of TvP. Is this true or am I thinking wrong?
|
Whirlwind?! Oh my lord, this is going to be an uphill battle. But could turn in to a epic game if Taeja can get some dronekills or something
|
Taeja slumping! Losing to Stephano and Nerchio propably crushed him ;-)

When you all kill IM and almost do it again, it doesnt matter. Youre just good.

Stephano's micro is probably the best in the world right now. Macro wise and build wise he may not be better than the korean zergs. I wouldnt say he is better than korean zergs like DRG or Symbol or Curious (or even Leenock) but he is up there with them... Dont know how he would do in GSL though since his opponents will have time to study him and thats where his weakness is...

Taeja's like the Terran Seed. Not amazing at any particular matchup comparatively, and comes back while behind with engagements that he really should not win.

I am not completely sold on rain's style yet, but at least his play shows how crappy the past GSL protosses were. (esp. MC)

Stephano's micro is the best? That is laughable.

I am such a fan of both these two, this will be an anxious game to sit and watch.
