stephano has proven himself repeatedly... you don't win the tournaments he has without being 'pretty good' I imagine Stephano has NEVER won an MLG, has won nothing since he 'beat' Bomber at LSC2 by losing to him in the finals, has lost early in foreign gutter events such as dreamhack, and has recently lost to players such as IdrA and Xlord.

Today is just another example of a long line of examples of why giving seeds to foreigners is moronic. Did you see the player list of guys that lost in the Code B qualifiers? It's comprised of literally dozens of players more talented, and that train harder than Stephano could have dream of. They don't get paid 1,000s of dollars and they're not pampered. They labor all day every day to have a shot at GSL and a player like Stephano gets seeded into Code S. Such an action should bring bile to their throats. Stephano earned his Code S spot long time in the past.... now Polt dropped out and he has taken it. If any foreigner did "earn" a spot, its Stephano, because he literally earned it and not got it credited because he's foreigner. He just never took it until now. He didn't "literally" earn it. No foreigner has ever made it through the Code A qualifiers and neither did he. Didn't Huk back in the day? Or Jinro? Jinro made it through the open season qualifiers. No foreigner ever made Code A through the qualifiers for WoL. Yeah Idra and Jinro were the only 2 players I think to legitimately earn code S though from open season and stuff from qualifying for the open to getting into code S. I hope Scarlett will try for the qualifiers next season, she might have a chance. Wasn't there talk about her getting a seed?
Realistically, if there are still seeds when Scarlett goes to Korea, she's gonna get offered one.

Thats just for the people he has a record against that are still in GSL Code S in the running season, its 32-35. Thats 47,76% winrate against just Code S (at least top 16 players). Yes, Stephano didn't show his absolute best games against BoguS, but you guys are so harsh for it. BoguS is insanely good and Stephano is well known for being very good. How can you dismiss a guy and his history of winning lots of games even against Code S calibre for 2 games?
How can you name him not Code-S calibre when he already showed it? Want more?

Its fine that you are upset or not a fan of Stephano, but forgetting or, IGNORING more so his history and calling him out as non-Code-S worthy... is stupid and ignorant, sorry to say is that harsh. Even though I would say that DRG/BoguS are more "DESERVING" or better to advance in that group, Stephano with another group with Protoss especially might have made it more easy for him. Some guys :x
47.76%? So the worst player in Code S?
Code S level for sure.

there must be something wrong, stephano didnt play only 3 games with taeja.. and 95% of these games were played in foreigner tournaments.
EDIT: lol 3-1 squirtle? 2-0 genius? wasnt that like 1 year ago?

Yes he literally did it. Because there was an agreement for winning a major tournament would earn you a Code S seed.../spot.

Player against a Code-S Champion in a foreign tournament does make it less legitimate? Really? Also data is from TLPD.

Stephano earned his Code S spot long time in the past.... now Polt dropped out and he has taken it.
