Its just hype vs actual wins really When a player wins a big tourney or sits right at the top of a ladder or starts doing extremely well they get toted as the next big thing.. Its part of the reason why we love SC2. When this stops happening it means the game is receding, going stale. Next big things are the... next big thing! | ||

Every foreigner who has went to korea has managed to grab top 25 GM after less than a week? And that with 70%+ win rate and only playing 4 hours a day? Thats news to me | ||

Who did i insult? Im not insulting IdrA at all, but his fans often seem to see things kind of 1 sided. + you insult stephano in this thread all the time. | ||

I don't think he's winning because of his mechanics or innovative strategies. He found something that's really, really hard for players to deal with (Toss especially) and he keeps doing. How is he playing abusively vs toss? He doesn't use ling infestor ultra with mass upgrades but roach infestor fast broodlord most of the time supported by heavy macro play. See nothing gimmicky about his zvp. His zvt on the other hand is quite abusive and he got some punishment from top korean terrans for it vs jakjil for example. | ||

But anyways, I feel like these two have been playing each other so much that they're practically playing like teammates would sometimes with all this funky stuff and occasional personal metagaming. | ||

Noone can argue he is a great player but ladder is really just..ladder. He can prove himself @ the blizzard cup since he apparently doesn't believe he can win GSL. And enough with 4 hours a day bullshit, he's been streaming for more than 4 hours already. Please. Shut up. Haters & Lovers. | ||

He never insulted anyone ... just if you say "assume" means "are" and "fanboy" means something insulting. Posts like yours are just irrelevant and senseless. Haters gonna hate. Stephano has a lot of potential. SaSe was considered very good too but yet didn't show the biggest results(watchin him on IPL right now ... he IS good), at least Stephano showed us what he is capable of. The first time Nani crushed MLG a lot of ppl said simliar things as the Stephano"haters". I will sit back, drink a cup of tea and will spit it all out when Stephano wins Code S  On December 10 2011 03:32 Shiori wrote: I don't like Idra, no. I think he's overrated and childish. You don't have to be gimmicky to abuse particularly difficult things in the metagame right now. BL/infestor play is considered by most Protoss players to be virtually uncounterable outside of the mothership. This says a lot about the strength of the strategy. Nothing against Stephano for using it; I just don't think it's very original or a terribly good representation of stunning mechanics. What? First of all: virtually uncounterable? SO many games were won by toss vs that army mix. Not saying that the same amount was won by Z with that unit comp but really ... and "just" the mothership? We are talking about lategame unit mix...but i dont want to drift into strategy talk. Sencond: I guess most Zergs use that build, so ... where is your argument? Zergs arent a good representation of stunning mechanics? And imo Stephano was one of the first with heavy ling styles who actually killed big names. | ||

Well, i agree with this part I just don't think it's very original or a terribly good representation of stunning mechanics. but it doesnt mean he has bad mechanics. + he uses BL/infestor less then many others, he is more the ultra guy. What do you want zergs to do? play roach/hydra and lose? ur comment doesnt make too much sense tbh -,- | ||

He's a pretty good foreign player, that's all there is to it. 'Nuff said. He's not the best, not the worst -- he's just pretty good and we'll leave it at that. I'm not sure how so many people are rationalizing so many big claims based off ladder performance over a short time frame. LOL | ||
