you can't be serious....rofl
About what exactly? I thought I was pretty fair in my thoughts.

I will tentatively agree. He's certainly a Code S player, though his games today didn't show that at all. Don't know what's going on at the Korean EG house, or what their practice schedule is like, but hopefully his stay in Korea will help bring him to another level.

Against MKP? Even if he scouts the Marauder/Hellion he has no upgrades, no lair, and no third. He HAD to attack there and just hope MKP fucks up, it was a build order win plain and simple.

There used to be a time when trolls where smart, rather then staying stupid shit.
Miss those days

A troll must adapt to the population in which he is placed.

I said some really dumb thing a bunch of pages ago and people bit on it.

Stephano is Code S Ro32 level at best. Something tells me we'll see him in Code B soon though.

Build order loss doesn't make you float 1.5k on pretty much two base with a third base hatch up. That was pretty bad.

Yeah, can't really say I was inspired by Stephano's play today, besides that one engagement when he got the colossi with neurals.

MKP looked pretty nice, but I think S-class protosses will be a much harder challenge than the ones he faced today

His wall had a gap and let the protoss into his base allowing an almost turn around, it certainly wasn't god awful but it was pretty bad causing a terrible game.

But there is the element of chance involved, where Stephano is hoping MKP wouldn't open Marauder/Hellion instead of knowing he would. If Stephano got a proper scout earlier on, he would have not went Roach/Bane all-in and simply played standard. At the Code S level, making blind assumptions isn't a great indication of skill.

Except that he got it? He won his place this time, in battle?

In Code A there are groups like this one sometimes, and you can get into Code S from such games. Saying Stephano is Code S level doesn't imply he is "high" or even "mid" Code S level, just the basic Code S level.

Time to leave the thread, I can already see endless discussions about "Code S level" and what today does or does not prove incoming.

So useless, just take it as it is. He won two games and is in Code S now, don't try to extrapolate anything from that.

What you can say is that MarineKing is still a beast vs Protoss, god damn he's good.

That doesn't make it any less bad. He could have held much better with 1.5k resources of extra lings and some roaches.
