Man theres gotta be a lot of pressure on stephano now, it would be pretty sad if foreigners simply went 0 - X in series against korea and i feel like everyone is looking at him to sort of set things straight and carry our flag.
with "our flag" literary meaning every country in the world except for that rather small piece of land called South Korea that thanks to E-sports and PSY is slowly becming the new global superpower.
Its gotta feel tough, but then again Stephano seems to not overthink these things and just get into his booth, put on his headset and play the game as if he was sittting at home in his pyjamas, eating Ben and Jerry's to the ambient noise of some Two and a Half men rerun buzzing from his TV set on the wall behind him. Maybe he can mentally transport himself to this Boyroom of Solitude whenever and wherever he wants and thereby completley seal of any nerves or outside pressure.
If this is indeed the case and not just my wild imagination trying to paint an insultingly romantic image of a young man with a special talent and the world at his feet, i would defeinitely pay him for some kind of cognitive behavioural therapy coaching to learn the secret.
I think Ret is currently playing better than Stephano, but he's playing against Flash.

Last will beat Stephano.
Stephano can't keep up with Last's multitask skills, especially with medivac boost.

Such bullshit. Thorzain is pretty solid player too. Gosuuser suprised everyone at ironsquid. Sase is good etcetcetc.
There were not upsets yesterday. Jjakki going threw to next round is not really a surprise, he's really solid. Today will be exciting to watch. I think we will see some suprising outcomes here and there.
The only one im missing in MLG is Scarlett, she's so solid, to bad she aint there.

Don't think it's multitask that will kill Stephano. He's quite good mechanically. It might be experience. Last from what I recall hasn't played much in proleague (likely prepping for the HotS rounds) and he looked like the best Kespa player in the showmatches aside from PartinG

So it's been about 12-13 years since starcraft has become competitive. We have professional teams with professional managers and professional coaches. How come the gap between Koreans & Foreigners is still present? After such a long time, it's starting to look like a big fucking joke. I'm starting to feel like an idiot for supporting these foreign players and teams. So what's happening? Someone is not doing his job properly, either the coach or the players. We've had more than a decade to analyze and understand the korean training regimen. I think that either the coaches are doing a crap job, either the foreign players just don't want to be the best. Maybe they are just content with having a salary and a bed.

Bomber will demolish your dear foreigner.

I actually want to watch both of these games... I'm really interested in seeing CJ herO play, but then again there's Mvp.....

Herm Jjakji had around a 65% record back in the day, one of his best match ups.

Heh Multitasking is Stephano´s greatest str and one of the main reason he is so good. With that said I think the match will be 50/50

That's what everyone says about everyone though. I'm assuming none of these guys really have a hell of a lot more experience than anyone else.
