I think that this also helps him with practicing efficiently and zerg is a very different race from the other two races. I think zerg is the most difficult race to learn, but once you can defend against anything the sky is the limit. I don't think that Stephano would be as good with the other races, where he'd have to spend hours refining builds. Almost everything he's doing is smart, his decisionmaking is reliable and he is aware of the dynamics of the game. I think it was HD who also said how smart Stephano is. When he offraces once or twice as Terran he's GM level with it, he beats his teammate YoGo all the time with Terran, its scary. Obviously not as good as his Zerg but still a good level  | ||

I guess Huk will never win GSL ever, or any other decent Pro-gamer out there will neither win. Only randomly lucky people with born skills like Jaedong, Flash, Bisu, MVP, Nestea etc. and maybe Bomber, DRG and now maybe Stephano would if he practiced in korea and did more hours. Only very very rare cases will we see non-geniuses win events where genuine genuises attend. Like Polt, MMA maybe? Sad, and annoying to see people like Huk, TLO, Sheth, Demuslim and other super hardworking players climbing an impossible mountain. And aslo many koreans Clide, TOP, MMA, Boxer etc.. MVP will just roll them because of a whim, like Stephano rolling foreigners, and even Code S koreans. Stephano would prolly have a hard time beating korean genuises with his puny 3-4 hour practice time. He will still roll Huk though, even when Huk is said to be one of the more hard workings pro-gamers even for Korean standard. :O ... or? | ||

But not someone that only does 3-4 hours vs 12 hours ++... T.T. If stephano did practice 12 hours+ then it would maybe be truly pointless for Huk and the other guys to even try.... lets just hope he stays at 4 hours max (kekek) and leaves after 1 year. hm =/. Though we could use him to get a foreignerin top 3 at foreigners events, and try to get a shot at GSL. The would should keep MVP and neastea's to a minumum, to give the other a break.

But his standard ling/infestor/ultra play seems like it just spooked Terrans because theyre not used to it. Think DRG's mass counter style. It feels like if you give SlayerS a month and stephanos replay pack theyll just come up with an answer. Regardless, hes a beast | ||

Obvously it was very very hard to execute and stay calm, and think and play out all those very hard matches. It's not like he was just chilling on the stage or those 4 hours he practiced everyday. Also if you dont "belittle" Stephano, you are "belitteling" all the other players and saying wtf are they asleep when they practices those 12 hours? are they just actually chilling for 12 hours? I am sure it is actually very very hard practiced hours by the other players. | ||

He can play muta/baneling, baneling/ultra, ling/infestors, pure ling, roach/ling. You only saw what worked in the IPL but that's not the only style he had. Furthermore, SlayerS know his style because and considers him as a Top 5 foreigner. | ||

His lots of lings and very agressive, while also staying defensive and not expoing a lot seems very abusive. It looks very very hard to deal with. Seems like a very smart style to play. But he also beat a Zerg in the final. Maybe lucky is not very good in ZvZ. Lucky seemed to get higher than anyone expected, even himself. But he is still a Korean Zerg and didn't even get a single win against Stephano. Stephano did also beat Sen some while ago at assembly summer was it? Nevermind his play style in ZvT, he is just very very good in all match ups. An insane skill level for just practecing 3-4 hours. | ||
