Stephano is not Nerchio, I would say Nerchio is a better player vs Protoss than Stephano is. Of what I can see, Naniwa is improving alot. Im pretty sure Naniwa will take Stephano down.

Word, zerg is Naniwa's bane. I think most top EU zergs can beat him, but on the flip side of that coin Naniwa can beat almost any protoss and terran.

Nerchio is a better ZvP player than stephano? Do you even believe yourself?

I'm a huge Naniwa fan, and a few months ago, I'd take him over Stephano any day, but I see it as an uphill battle now. Not anything specifically to do with Stephano, I'd pick Stephano or any top Korean Zerg over anyone but maybe 2 Protosses in the world at the moment, Rain and someone else. The matchup has been basically worked to death and back and figured out, and where the metagame has left us is not a great place unless you play Zerg. I wish we would have been able to have this showdown before ZvP was figured out so damned well; it's not as much fun anticipating a super-hyped match after something like this has been "figured out". So frustrating - Naniwa switch to zerg maybe? :D

Nerchio's ZvP is excellent, but Stephano's is better. Stephano has damn near the best in the world if you ask me, bar, perhaps, some Koreans, and taking into account his lack of practise.

5 tournaments in 5 weeks on 3 continents actually :

3-4th November : ESWC (France)
10-11th November : LSC (Texas)
17-18th November : WCS World (Shanghai)
24-25th November : DH Winter (Jönköping)
30th November-2nd December : IPL5 / GSL WC (Las Vegas)

+ NASL matches, IPTL, maybe Iron Squid group play... If anyone always think Stephano is participating at GSL Season 5, I think this is the answer.

I don't know if another player has this schedule but if he's doing well overall it will be very impressive.

It's a long way to the top if you wanna be the foreign bonjwa.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I think Naniwa and Stephano are likely buddies now. Even if they didn't want to be friends Khaldor probably forced them since afaik they all live in the GOM house together at the moment. Please correct me if I am wrong however. =)

i wish this happened when they first agreed for a 5k showmatch (till stephano got afraid and canceled).
They both were on a huge peak back then. Now stephano still kind of is, but naniwa did not show good results the last few months, still has PvZ as his worst matchup (while stephano had maybe worlds best ZvP for some time) and lacked motivation for some time.

I wish nani best of luck both are quite controversial characters in the scene :D
will for sure watch it!

Yes NaNiWa! Love to see him in more offline events rather than the GSL.
This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.

They did spend some time living at the GOM House together. So this should have helped to bring them closer. Then again we had the LastShadow + DesRow situation in the GOM House, so the converse could be the case!
