Whenever a major event happens, does a Korean netizen come to Team Liquid, skim through the live report threads and then translates the interesting pieces to PlayXP?


No, because we're all massive dullards who struggle to say anything meaningful or funny in the LR threads at least.

Why so much hate ? Don't you think it's normal to have positives things about a player when he win a big tournaments ?

Imo Stephano has a much greater chance at doing well in Korea than previous foreigners. His play from IPL was simply out of this world. Much more impressive than anything before seen from a foreigner.
Anyone who has watched his games from IPL should agree on Stephano now being the best non-korean player. He really is that good.

I don't know about that. Idra played very well and only lost to TheSTC when he did some very aggressive cheese/semi-all in that Idra didn't scout. Seemed like the terrans Stephano played mostly macro games with him, or Stephano did some early roach-ling attacks. I would assume because they know Idra's style and this was their first time seeing Stephano (to my knowledge) they weren't as prepared for him to be as good as he was, or to hit some of the early roach-ling attacks that he did.

And obviously not all the other top European players were there. Dimaga, Nerchio, Sjow, Naniwa, Sase, etc, etc. Of course I've heard some of these players swear by Stephano but still.

That being said I do think Stephano has the most natural skill, but I don't know if he is the clear cut best. He definitely looked like it this weekend, but we'll see if he can get another major tourny result before crowning him

stephanio beat kiwikaki, violet, inori, thestc and lucky...
kiwikaki - he's not the best even by NA standards
violet- someone who WAS in code S now sucks i hate the fact they keep calling him code S player
inori - took out 2 great players who i think wouldve beat stephanio in pvp
thestc - the guy who already said hes bad at tvz
lucky- the guy who cheesed his way through terrans and played a horrible zvz

not to take aanything away but if he faced unknown players who were bad at zerg match up
if he played ryung/MMA/mc/puma then hes proven something
until then i think i proved he had it easy

Stephano took down TheSTC, a player who has just recently completed his military service (obviously hasn't been practicing rigorously).


Recently and recently, he finished his military service in May. At least that's what he said in this interview:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=227417

I don't think we can count TheStC as one of the strongest korean terrans though, even if he showed a lot of potential back in the beta.

Did he really say that? -.-;


I think Mana is his zvp practice partner. Maybe thats the reason ><.


He said that every player thinks his own race is the strongest, so MC should think that Protoss is the strongest. Obviously MC and iNcontrol didnt agree.



Well, the question was: "What is the best race?"...and Stephano answered that every player thinks that his own race is the best, that's why you play them...

He never said, that Protoss is the strongest or anything like that...

“To be honest I couldn’t even understand Stephano’s play. I just watched and suddenly Stephano is winning.”

First times I watched him play I just thought it looked sloppy and stuff but after seeing more of him some strengths seem more obvious. Like rarely making mistakes that end up making him lose the game, good game sense, good at reading opponents and finding their weaknesses. And sometimes it's like he knows of critical weaknesses in others builds that the opponents don't even seem to be aware of themselves etc.

It's not as mysterious as it often is with for example Sjow at least.

According to this, Stephano has beat MMA and even Boxer before.

Good times keep rolling.

“Stephano’s skill right now…. it’s over the level of Nestea. Perfect defense and completely understanding the situation and decision making… I don’t know about the other games, but if we just judge it from this match, he’s the best. (Stephano vs stC)”


You can't really judge from that match, as StC is kind of bad by Korean standard :s Idra rolled him just as hard, and Idra has(imho) a better late game than Stephano, but Stephano plays a much safer early game. Stephano has the potential to be the best zerg, but as of now it is still Nestea...by pretty far too


Since when is TheSTC considered bad by any standards? He's been at code A level since the beta.

Is this even a real post? I can't tell.

Anyway, we all know there are more comments and Milkis only translates the interesting ones. He probably refrains from posting in English any of the Korean troll comments.

Also, for those wondering about TheStC, he was a mediocre BW pro a few years back but did plenty of SC2 playing and online tournaments while he was in the military. Obviously he doesn't get to practice 10 hours per day but some players just don't need to.

You could have gone to playXP yourself with google translate and verify that he didnt handpick positive comments. Now you look like a fool.

I wish people wouldn't go around copy+pasting this without including his losses in the middle of that streak.
