That's like something you only expect from a player like MVP or Nestea. Sure its "just ladder" but to win so consistently means your play has very few holes in it.
Actually MVP had a 94% win rate on his Northamerican account. But yeah, Stephano is a complete beast and I hope he tears it up on IPL.

Stephano just lost 0-2 vs Welmu (a pretty much unknown Finnish player) in the GSS (Grubby invitational). So he isn't as solid in the tournaments at least. It was a bit of a disappointment really.
Not sure why GSS isn't amongst the live streams on TL, as it is going on right now.
lol he won the IPL qualifier beating TSL_Revival, Puzzle, Kiwikaki, MMA etc.
yeah pretty bad in tourneys

And even if Korean server is far better than EU server, it's the same between EU > US ( all the Pro gamer playing both ladder said it)

To be fair the Koreans have a lot more and better ladder competition than the eu players do though. Well KR ladder is a different beast, but I could imagine them doing this on EU/NA. Didn't MVP have a NA account with an insane winrate or something?
MVP/MMA/Bomber I don't remember which one it was, was 105-5 or something last season, 2k point masters in my division.
I felt so disenchanted. HEY I HAVE THE FEWEST GAM---... fuck... asshole had an amazing record. One loss to a pride cheese rush too I believe.

Send him to korea, he cannot learn anything anymore on the european server!

you are wrong, it was a deflose, because stephano could not play the match : )

Stephano's game sense and decision making are amazing. When you watch him play you see a zerg who's calm and in control of every game. Drops don't work vs him, cheese doesn't work. He just shuts down everything.
|
If only Stephano had game sense and calm decision making when it came to contracts.
zing!
Hopefully he can continue to do well in the EU scene..

i knew he was good when he took a set off of huk in homestory cup. i think it was homestory
|
The whole Millenium-coL thing and the "I dont know who Grubby is" makes me not like him at all. But the kid is good let's see if he can keep it in a LAN tourney against KR Terran.

not to devalue the impressive nature of going 64-1 with imperfect information & allow me to state for the record that I love Stephano --- his opponents with the exception of WhiteRa & mouzThorZaIN can only be classified as scrubs. Some no namer calling the top 200 EU, many of who are successful pro gamers, "scrubs". Yea ok bro, forgot you are nestea.
And yeah, and to those scrubs you can add people like Nerchio or Elfi, Predy and many others

He didn't said he was bad in tournaments. Actually if he was disappointment he expects a lot of Stephano. Sheesh some people love drama.

The next best thing since Idra, HuK, and Naniwa. TL likes to hype their foreigners.

What's that supposed to mean? Stephano even played wc3 with grubby lol.

He made a bad move in the whole coL-millenium thing, but this dude is so talented. Hope he continues improving and building on his already beastly play.

err... I'd say he'd have some small chance to take a game off if he matches up against the average ones like rain or boxer.. there is no way in hell he'd take a game off the top terrans.

?
stephano said he was never that interested in the international wc3 scene, not watching live events (it wasn't the most common thing in wc3 to have a cast for an event, it was usually through WaaaghTV which was a software that allowed you to see the game in wc3 as an obs, or people would download and watch replays.
so he just didn't know what grubby looked like, he knew him ofc, grubby said they were practice partners too.
but since they first met in lan i think they are also "real life" friends sort of, now.

he took a game off puma at IEM not long ago, looking very dominant.
nice try though.

Regardless of it "just being ladder" thats still amazing, the consistancy at that level.

Staying with Millenium was like the best thing he could do ^^ (in the situation he was in)
Also for ppl saying he has a chance against the likes of Rain & BoxeR, if some foreigner zerg has a chance against Mvp, MMA or MKP in ZvT offline, that's him  . (small chance but still these 3 are monstruous at TvZ)
