i don't blame him for not going to korea, even if he lives at home (france) he can still participate in all major tournaments except GSL.

like nestea once said in artosis interview, his dream is to travel around the world and participate in foreign tournaments but he's too busy because of GSL.

during 1 season of gsl there is probably few big live tournaments in US and EU(mlg's,dreamhacks,etc)

would be quite big lifestyle change to move into some teamhouse, full with guys speaking only korea and training 24/7.

he seems to be doing quite well even without going to korea.

I hope he does well in LANs. I haven't seen his offline performance yet.

He has won every single French LANs during the last 6 months. And was far from bad in the HSC3 as an example.

If he's doing this well in the European scene, he should be in Europe. He's clearly at a point where there are not enough Europeans at a high enough level to challenge him consistently enough. Sure, there are some power houses, a few, but he's wasting time on the European ladder. It's sad to think that on complexity, he could have gone to Korea. Make something happen, milenium! Utilize the potential!

He DOESN'T want to go. It's not his goal at the moment.



Thanks for the info. Looking forward to IPL3!

MMA said to him in chat that he considers him top 3 zerg player. Stephano said "you mean foreigner?", and MMA said "okok", but still it shows his fame has spread to Korea already.

He has a very refined build leading into ultras, and now with the buff, he should be even stronger.


"okok" only means he didn't understand what the word foreigner meant . Konglish 101.

Of course stephano is top3


I think OK in Korean means yes. You still may be right about though ;p

They won't lol. It just won't happen.


Would be silly if they don't do it.
Going practice in Korea was something CoL could have offer to him, Mille probably should think about that.
And it would be the best choice for him.

Rainbow is actually a pretty bad terran among koreans...

Anyways, could Stephano get better practice on the korean server? Or is the lag between EU and KR too much to even try?

Holy shit.

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.

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?


Yeah MVP went 116-5 in season 2. Two of his losses were vs cheese, and 2 of the others were against progamers (Sen and someone else I don't remember).

wasn't dragon 80-1 or something on his EU smurph? All while messing around doing strats like mass SCV... Impressive, but as people have said EU ladder isn't really a good measure of his skill. Not to take anything away from Stephano, I still think he is the strongest EU player by far (undoubtedly best zerg at least).

Just like any server there's a big difference between high GM on EU and mid-master EU.....

Does anyone know what Stephano's playstyle is? I have never seen him play but to have such a good record, he either got really lucky or has a really solid, safe playstyle. I'm assuming the latter, so anyone know?
