It's not really about if he's better or not

It's because some people don't think he deserves the success he has, because It's clear he doesn't work very hard.

He talks about how he barely practices all the time, yet is still winning so much money.

Fans want to convince themselves that you can be successful in this game through hard work alone and just because you're talented you shouldn't be able to win so much without putting in the effort, so they want him to lose.

Also, elitist TL netizens who only like seeing Koreans win because they don't like " lazy foreigners " being rewarded.

I actually only dislike him because of his personality and because of some of the people that praise him like a god. Come to think of it I don't think I even dislike him anymore, I am mostly indifferent to him.

Also I think its mostly BS that he doesn't practice a lot, or atleast it definitely was months ago. Lately from the little I've seen from him I guess it seems like he may not be practicing as much as he could.

Oh and yeah I hate that he dodges GSL like no other.

Joke poll.

who did you vote for?

I voted for Creator

I wanted to vote Creator but I went with Rain just so he could stay ahead of Stephano... petty I know, I am a silly person sometimes.

Does it annoy you that people think Stephano is better than Koreans?

Stephano on form > Protoss. He's shown it so many times. Without code S terrans / Polt, this would have been his best chance to actually take it.

But meh. :/

You can be successful through hard work only.

But it's talent and intellect that separates the absolute best from the top 0.1% (or whatever arbitrary percentage you want to use, depending on the field you're talking about)

But I guess these kids weren't around to witness sAviOr's pure genius (he's the most notable example for me, although you could make a case for Stork too), and so they think it's only practice time that matters.

It's funny because if he was a Korean player everyone would be fine with it, It's just because he is a foreigner ( and dodges GSL ) that he gets so many anti-fans. I actually used to be an anti fan because I thought he was way overhyped earlier this year, but I learned to ignore the crazy fans and started to like him.

I actually like he being foreigner. I dislike he has been dodging GSL for so long. Can't blame him tho.
