Fact is, he is passionate and entertaining but his analysis and understanding just isn't as high as that of Artosis or Apollo | ||

Going 1-4 against Innovation, being read like a book and demolished, a player who IS Code S level? IF Stephano makes it back to Code S then I'll consider him it, until then, no, he's just the best foreigner. Innovation is top 4 code S. Hack has been through several seasons of code S. Stop trying to find a way to justify your hate. It's just you don't like the bloke. But he doesnt give a rat's ass and he will be back in code S through code A, mark my words. | ||

Really, we've been waiting for this day a long time, and it's disappointing to see Stephano loos. But in reality, there are a lot of good players, some of which no doubt have the potential to win it all, who get eliminated in he ro32 every season. I bet that if you check the history of the past GSL-winners, some of them had some completely unspectacular first seasons in GSL. So of course this is a sobering result, but I still believe the database is to small to judge his potential within GSL based on just 7 games, especially as he played only 2 players. Let's see how he does in Code A (and maybe up and downs), as well as take a look where Innovation finishes this season. Then it may be time to draw some conclusions. edit: I confused Hack and Innovation. | ||

He won one game in 5, that is getting demolished. The 4 games Innovation won weren't even close. Stephano got STOMPED by Innovation, you can't twist that. Hack also 2-1'd Jaedong to get into Code S, who is garbage TvZ despite what the fanboys want. He's never gonna be in Code S again. | ||

A few valiant champions vs the swarm of the enemy? Those three are probably loving the fact that they're the only ones who seem capable of winning against the race that seems to have vexed the rest of their race. | ||

Hes a great caster but he completely misread that last game (called a slight advantage for Stephano after losing 15 drones (because he had a third and Bogus didn't) while Apollo was talking about how behind Stephano was at the exact same time. Fact is, he is passionate and entertaining but his analysis and understanding just isn't as high as that of Artosis or Apollo He actually said that if innovation moved out for another timing attack stephano would be in trouble lol. | ||

And recently 6-0 against a 4 times GSL winner, a 2 times GSL winner and a multiple runner-up/MLG winner. Funny how you can do a lot of things with numbers. | ||
