Last time Taeja and Stephano played it was only 1 game (BO1 means nothing) and 4am Korean time. Earlier that day he had his Code S group (which he destroyed). It would be safe to assume that Taeja did not prepare at all for this match, and only did it out of obligation to his team as it was a team league match in the IPTL. I'd say it can go either way with the slight favor to Taeja, but it really depends on whether Taeja is solely focusing on GSL as he is in the RO8 now and just doing this for pocket money or not. | ||

Edit: lol my phone called Stephano "Stephanie" love itEh, before the patch Stephano wouldn't have a chance in hell at even taking a game of Taeja. If you recall, before the patch he played both MKP and MMA in foreign tournaments and was humiliated-- nukes, 0 wins, and a lot of mules. However, Stephano just beat Taeja in the IPTL and Taeja also lost to Nerchio. In today's xvZ, it's anyone's game. You can't look at the player names, you just have to watch and see what happens. Though, I still would say Taeja and Hero are the 2 favorites to win, followed by Violet (simply out of Stephano's league) then Stephano. | ||

That is 6 months ago and back then stephano ZvT was his worst matchup and his ZvZ almost his best. Players skill and abilities change all the time and a lot can happen in 6months. And btw when he played MKP at IPL he wasn't humiliated It was 2-1 to MKP in a close serie that could have gone both ways. Now 6 months l8r Stephano ZvT and ZvP is so sick atm I simply cant see him lose unless Taeja surprise him | ||

I thought you said you wouldn't post in threads outside of the GSL / OSL again. Not able to resist huh. Stephano is the favorite against everyone but Violet and Taeja, where it's about even. | ||

Well, when people say Lucifron is better than forGG, it does make me lose hope in these threads, but too many of my favorite players in here for me to pass up on it. | ||
