You know when a player win GSL Code S as a first Royal Roader.
He is successful as a 15 year old.
Slaying the the terran people who were claiming is a bonjwa MVP.

He is on to great things.

Stephano does very poorly vs people who have prepared extensively for him and does well in ladder-style tournaments like MLG. In the GSL you will have an entire team of people dedicated to figuring out how to abuse your style (which stephano is rooted in 100%, he is a stylist player) and how to counter it most effectively. Honestly I would not expect stephano to do well at all in the GSL, he`s simply not the kind of player who will excel in those circumstances.

That being said, if all zergs would plan out their attacks like stephano does then i doubt we`d ever see a less than 90% zerg win rate in tournaments.

Are you honestly suggesting Leenock is bad?

How is Life better because he won one tournament, while Stephano has been consistently producing results for a year? The GSL bias is kinda ridiculous sometimes.

Ya I have to agree. Game 6 where in theory should have won with BC-Ghost but loses to a freaking vortex! How often do you see a vortex v terran?! And then that epic game 7 ultra cheese. It was great.

Its interesting how well it worked for Life to play ling/infestor against mech. Its it doesnt matter if you play bio or mech, while for the terran they are so different playstyles. It looks so bad when Life is throwing away 20-30 lings at a time againt blue flame hellions but his injects are so good that zerg macro allows for that. I must say I like the aggressive style of Life but i wish he would show some more respect to Mvp now that he beat him. Im thinking about Lifes comments in interviews.

No. But the idea that a young kid wins a GSL --> next X bonjwa is laughable. Life had a great run. And he showed mental toughness by not falling apart in game 6. But lets be honest folks: MVP got greedy in game 6 and lost for it. And MVP got impatient in game 7 and traded an entire mech army for an unused hatch. Life made dumb decisions too, but his dumb decisions in game 7 were a lot less costly than MVPs.
