Whats his chances realistically vs Bogus and to pass the grp? He can beat bogus and hack for sure. Depends how he plays though. I'd say DRG will still beat him if they meet up though. I dunno. Stephano did beat him at that world championship thingy and Setphano has pulled off short moments of ZvZ brilliance.
GSL WC was 2 months ago.
Iron Squid, half a month ago (about): Stephano 0-3 DRG
And it's Stephano's ZvZ; he could pull something off, but realistically DRG shouldn't lose, maybe one game if he is unlucky.

Realistically, it's close to 50/50

that was team league though and he was on a roll while DRG just came into play his first game it is a way different scenario (not to mention theyre playing on DRG's home court this time, and DRG made Stephano looked silly in Iron squid.)

imo the toughest gsl group yet, bogus and drg are both going to be challenging for stephano..
haven't been this excited for a match in a while..gonna sleep early and set my alarm to wake up in time

DRG is a strong pick for me, while the second spot is INoVation personally. I'm not completely convinced that Stephano can play in GSL, and he has never been more vulnerable.

will be DRG and a complete toss up between the other 3

I didn't watch the iron squid games but I do know that Stephano really rises to the occasion and often he doesn't play very well online when trying to qualify for live events. Regardless I love both players I REALLY hope they both make it through.
Well he didn't rise to the occasion when a trip to Paris/Iron Squid finals to play in front of a French crowd were on the line lol

Stephano playing and Lone Wolf? So good.

But with Wolf casting solo, who will stop him talking about hair? Especially with Stephano....

Hmm... No matter how I look at it, it looks difficult for Stephano.

Stephano is very likely one of, if not the, worst Zergs in Code S-- unless you care to tell me that he's better than Life, Symbol, Curious, Leenock, Sniper, Hyun, Roro, and Soulkey.
Group C would have been far and away the group of death if Huk were replaced by anyone else. A group can't be the most challenging if one of the players is a walkover. Groups A, B, E, and F are match harder than H.

I'd rather play Symbol, Curious, and Hyun over Stephano atm.

You sure about that bolded choice?

Speaking of Wolf casting solo. IIRC there was this time where he made jokes about his 2 invisible DT friends. Anyone recall which VOD was it?

yea Hyun looking a lot weaker recently

I think the most annoying potential thing is the shit storm that will result after this LR. If Stephano gets through, all of his fans will start talking about how everybody who doubted him deserves to write him a personal letter of apology, and if he doesn't, all of the nay-sayers will be going "I told you so, he's shit" which is unfortunate because he hasn't been playing as well in the past month than say the past three. Oh well.

Basically just another night of code S with foreigner seeds then. For better and for worse.
