Grubby did as well as YongHwa did! Maybe Artosis can hype grubby up now as the second coming of the Protoss savior. <3 | ||

(not a fanboy, just curiosity) This "people will prepare for his style and crush him" argument is silly and quite old if you ask me. Stephano was the pioneer of ZvT and ZvP style for months/years, and noone figured it out(i remember Parting-Hero-MC saying pre-interview in some tournies that they made specific builds to counter Stephano but still got crushed), besides Stephano said he'll be more serious in his practice regime... Mana got out of his up&downs group, Naniwa made it to ro8 twice, Stephano is more thann capable to do better. | ||

If there's any foreigner who can endure the rigorous training required and succeed at the highest level of the game in Korea, I think perhaps maybe one of the best if not the best War3 player can do it. He DEFINITELY has the talent, if he applies it. I am fine with your statement, i just hope you really dont believe this. Your heart is going to be broken, prepare the ice cream i guess. The period to shine was before kespa teams switched to sc2, the future is going to be very hard for foreign fan favourites. After the initial hots cheese phase we will see who is left. | ||

You can't really claim an argument is silly and quite old and then imply that Stephano doesn't have a good practice regime. It's well known that Stephano just doesn't like the pressure of being favored in a match and just plays it off saying, oh I didn't practice, haven't played all week, etc etc. It works for him, and that's fine, but if you actually start believing Stephano doesn't practice, you're really gone off the deep end. He masses games as much as the next progamer. His practice regime is just fine. | ||

HerO hardly played any games at all before NASL and still won with arguably way harder competition so I wouldn't be surprised if that's similar for lots of players. Stephano practices just as much as others, he just doesn't prepare for specific opponents and that's something he's always said and that I actually do believe. It shows in his play. But what else shows in his play is that he does practice a lot. | ||

His accounts show very little practice. Of course you can say that everyone is lying to us and he has a secret account that nobody ever heard of, but that seems very unlikely to me. | ||
