From what I heard, HyuN mostly lost because of HyuN's mistakes, not Vampire's incredible play. Still think he has yet to prove himself against the best though.
Hyun is probably a top 5 zerg (Symbol said DRG, Stephano and Hyun were the best three.) It was just one series, but he made it through Code A into Code S which is a great accomplishment in itself. Hell, Flash couldnt even do it.
Flash is definitely proving himself in the SC2 scene, but Code S? Maybe in the next few GSL seasons, but don't have such high hopes for him just based off MvP and Code A.

Stephano did a lot of damage with semi early ling aggression, taking out 3 pylons, a cannon, 4-5 zealots, and forced a cancel on Vampire's 3rd. Hardly lost any lings while doing it.
A bit later Stephano does a roach/ling/infestor attack that gets crushed by sentry/immortal/chargelots. Vampire pushes back but Stephano barely holds it with a nice engagement. Both players macro a bit. Vampire moves out to take out Stephano's 4th and as this is happening Stephano does a ton of damage with a ling runby. Vampire kills the 4th base but then gets caught out by a few broods/infestors and loses his army.

Just by saying "Flash couldnt do it" makes your argument so much better. I realize that hes only been playing for a few months lol
Meh, this is boring, no more PvZs! Let Stephano forfeit, and bring on Demuslim, IdrA, HuK and Thorzain. I just want to see the rest get exposure since now they're through for sure.
