Fun fact : Monster (or Monsteuh, as you want) was 15 years old when he won his first WC3 LAN beating Stephano in grand finals and they're in the same group in Valencia.
FYI Monster is one of the best french terran players with good micro and he's by far the french player with the best game knowledge. I hugely recommend to the french speaking people an interview he gave to Millenium and this amazing dossier he worked on with an other guy about theorycrafting with SC2gears.
With Stephano and Naama in his group it will be very tough for him to go through the first stage but this guy really deserves to be known.

Thanks for helping educate us about this up and coming French player. Always a pleasure to see new players emerge.

dunno why but I'm not that hyped for this DH, not sure if it's the over-saturation of events recently or what, would love to see a stephano vs Tajea finals but other than that I'm not pumped, I'm fearing a lot of zvps

I have him winning it all. Tossing aside Stephano, HerO and Taeja like they're nothing. Brave proxy floating factories into the opponent's bases, etc.

The Stephano fans are strong in the poll... (not saying he is chanceless or anything, but Taeja and Hero ought to be the favorites here)

HerO is a bit of a dog against both Taeja and Stephano head to head though.
But I will always believe in the HerOphant. Indeed I will.

I think (and many other french esports followers as well) he has the best game knowledge in France on the theoretical plan. If you can read french and thus read the dossier and the interview I post in my previous post, you will see that he knows absolutely everything about the game, even the builds, APM, control groups of each player (LucifroN, TaeJa, DeMusliM and many others). The problem is that he's in a small team and unfortunately he doesn't benefit of a good stuff to train. If you met him in June, it coincides with a period when his graphics card was broken (he says in the interview he could play the game with 10 FPS only and couldn't qualify for WCS France in this situation). All these little things (plus his studies in a top-level university) make he can't apply all that theory but it doesn't mean he doesn't know it.
I don't want to defend him at all costs. If you saw him making huge mistakes, it's probably true (he knows himself he's far from the top level actually).

Yes, I want to see her with Stephano. Again. :D

Well, this might be. We'll see it today! I hope he can show some great games and make me look like an idiot

I am not sure that Stephano is scared of anyone. Not in this line-up, not in the world of StarCraft II.
I am also not sure that using a metric about whether Stephano is scared of someone or not is a useful metric when deciding who goes into a game as a favorite.
