Yep, that's why we post. I die to a lot of Thor transitions, but I blame that on just having generally shit mechanics more than anything else.

Sometimes I think back to 2012 and just marvel at how Stephano pretty much carried the foreigner scene, and by extension most of the hype for SC2 on his back.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying watching Hyun, Parting, and Polt get up to their shenanigans... But it was a lot more fun when there was truly a foreign champion.
Still, you never know, maybe PtitDrogo is gonna crush through and usher in a new era of French Starcraft.

How big is the skill gap these days? We might see another foreign flame rise from the Stephano ashes.
