Was that the team league game where Ryung did some all in? I agree that in a balanced match up MC takes him, but betting on any Protoss to beat a Code S Terran (and a really good Terran at that) is a bad bet imo. | ||

Thorzain 1st TSL, 2nd Dreamhack. and so on... No one thinks Stephano isn't good, it's just his hype extends well beyond his achievements right now. That's because the people earnestly predicting also take his level of play into account not only the results. If we only go by past results, no one would ever predict an outsider/dark horse to win anything. But people do, and they do win. As a part-time player, Stephano is one of the best Zergs in the world - now he's going full-time and we're all expecting big things. | ||

Yes it is Assemply summer is much bigger then blisscon invitational where only 8 players get invited and where is more about getting lucky with the brackets then anything els. You could also say not the best players in EU where there. Yes Huk has won Dreamhack and mlg like 4 months and allmost 1 year ago alot can happened. Stephano is on the top of his game atm and Huk lost last time to Stephano . Huk is an amasing player and he is still rank 1 on my pound4pound list on best foreign player. Im not saying Huk cant beat Stephano but its not gonna be easy | ||

Anyway MC still beats really good terrans(ryung taeja 3-0 select) so I don't know why people write him off in this group, his vZ failed him in GSL though. | ||

I'm not asking this implying anything about Stephano, but I actually haven't seen him compete with anyone :/ Where has Stephano been posting results? this: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_3/Qualifier_3#Bracket should be enough, don't you think? | ||

No to mention Ret actually won, rather than coming third. | ||

Here is an idea, when people make these predictions they don't only pick people that already won something several months ago, they look at their current form :OO shocker | ||

You should definitly check his stream, this guy is completly insane, he's 1 EU GM and at the moment he s losing like 1 game for 20 wins, playing funny strats that his streamers are asking him to do. I m not a zerg fan but putting aside all the drama etc he's really talented. If you are still not conviced check his qualifier matches, beating mma, puzzle, revival, socke isn't something everyone can pull off | ||
