MVP in his 2 later gsls- in one had to beat parting, squirtle, ryung, puzzle, all very good vt the other I remember had the hardest paths to finals including every code s champion. quite obvious that this doesn't fall under the same category as a code s run where naniwa has to play vs virus and 2 pvps which was basically the only matchup at that time where foreigners were beating koreans regularly. naniwa was lucky as hell. | ||

I wonder why they keep getting seeds at these koreans who doesnt care about their fans and forfeit the most important thing in the universe, the gsl, to pursuit personal fame and try to win ez money | ||

Give the guy a break hes playing a highly competitive game in another country. Imagine all the stress outside of the game let alone the stress inside the game. For some reason though he gets torn apart way more than other players. When he wins its because the people he was playing were bad or terrible, when he loses it's see told ya hes bad blah blah blah. Stephano live report threads are among the worst on TL, always the same arguments. | ||

When you constantly does nonsense like that you are bound to get people wanting you to drop down. Not to mention his fans are freaking insane, calling him the best zerg in the world or code S champion the whole freaking time. It just gets very annoying and people want him to stop winning cause then his fans would shut up for once. | ||

Yeah I can understand the problems with his attitude but instead of people insulting his attitude they insult his gameplay. Well I can see where the conflict comes from now, people don't like his personality so the break down his gameplay. It doesn't seem logical to me but I guess I understand why it spirals out of control. Still the fighting from both sides is really tiresome. | ||

Stephano live report threads are among the worst on TL, always the same arguments. The problem is many people did not rate Stephano as he came on the scene later than their favourites. So certain loudmouths told everyone how Stephano was never going to be any good, and then when he made an impact at IPL3, these same people told everyone how he would soon 'be figured out' and disappear. There was a big thread about it but it stopped being updated when Stephano kept on going. But everytime he loses, these people emerge from their rocks to say I told you so. Obviously they have to make excuses when he wins and try and belittle his achievements. It is quite disappointing that some people have such an attitude when the community should be celebrating excellence and achievements in SC2. Anyway congrats to MKP and Stephano for qualifying to Code S. | ||
