This kind of hyperbole nearly makes it uncool to be a Stephano fan, at least for me.

Personally, I would call him one of the most talented players out there, but he surely is not the best player at this moment.
Off-season = best season

Please put these posts in the blog section so I can avoid clicking on biased, batshit baddie threads.... Your thread suits the blog section very well though don't get me wrong.

Stephano is something else and he is probably the sc2 player I'm closest to becoming a fan of. I do believe however that he will have a very hard time surpassing forgg with his bw mechanics in the future. He clearly is the best foreigner though imo.

I liked this article.

Lmao, pretty much what I got out of the OP as well.
We'll see how Stephano does in the upcoming months, admittedly he is doing well on the Korean ladder though which is pretty cool

The koreans dont really care about the ladder, see Nestea. He is just playing around, trying some new stuff, not the real tactics...

Stephano is old enough to go to a university?

Anyway, I think he has great potential, but at this time, there are a ton of people that are better than him. I would probably say he is the best foreigner right now, if not top 3.

I feel that this one is a complete free attack on him, which is abusive.
Maybe you wouldn't have written this if you'd have know that he has major depression.

"There is no doubt Stephano is the best player in the world at this moment " wow.... that just speaks volume that your post is incredibly bias and lacks a real argument

He is not playing 3 hours a day still, to be able to compete on the KR ladder.

He streamed at least 5-6 yesterday and played more than that off stream.


Yes, because he moved to korea where everything around him is about SC2. Keep in mind that when he said that he played 3 hours ago he was still in Europe and it was true since I got him on friendlist and checked it.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

I'm jsut going to point out that Nada and Boxer were already at the end of their SC careers and doing poorly when SCII came around. I would say their initial sucess is only because Broodwar, and once everyone else caught up it was clear they were not up to it.

July wasn't a Bonjwa

He's the best foreigner Zerg, but he's still not the best in the world. He's atleast top 5 though.
