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 the insight, will be interesting to follow. | ||

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

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 | ||

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. | ||
