But one thing for Stephano : he's listening very good music. Rare enough to be told  | ||

All im doing is providing facts about Stephano something his haters dont do much. Ofcourse its much easier to claim Stephano is overrated and will get figured out becuase Idra sayd so o.0 If thats considered a fanboy well geuss I am. | ||

If you call him biased at least point out the flaw in his reasoning. I don't know if Boxer was "well prepared", but he certainly had more time for preparation than his opponent as it was obvious he would face Stephano from the grid. | ||

You are not a realist, you are a fanboy. You are a courageous man, if I had been called out on my idiocy so many times in a single thread I would have been so embarrased and stopped posting long ago. I geuss you truly know no shame, good for you fella. Also, the boxer series at MLG was incredibly insignificant, a 2 rax all in and an unscouted marine push. Not to take anything away from boxer, he does that stuff better than almost anyone, but it doesn't reflect on Stephano's skill that much. Not to mention the series at IPL was incredibly one sided in the other players favor. | ||

You are not a realist, you are a fanboy. Dear Hunts, I think you made more of enough fool out of youself allrdy. First you come into this thread and say all of stephano´s winnings is only from French lans. Then you claim Stephano´s high win ratio in Korea is becuase he bought a new account in korea and was playing against low league players. Now you claiming Boxer didnt knew he was gonna play stephano when the grid on day 2 showed Stephano to meet Kiwi and then the winner to meet Boxer next day. I dont know whats going on with you either you just trolling me or you just dont do very much research before posting | ||

To be a top player, you have to have a rate of consistency...NEstea is always up there, so is MVP, MMA etc. Stephano has a large flux of ups and downs as noted his loss to Boxer at MLG Orlando,and his abysmal performance at Dreamhack. Thats some really high standards for consistency if the big "downs" are losses to Boxer, Sheth and Naniwa (and Cloud, when he was already out). Out of the top foreigners only Naniwa may be really more consistent. Huk and Idra have quite a big record of blowups. | ||

 Grrrr.... While it would take the equivalent of an OSL win for this to hold water, if Stephano's 3 hours of practice is true, then I'm really impressed. (Note: I said "drew a hasty comparison", and an incorrect one. Grrr will never be eclipsed in the mind of SC fans.)With a full schedule in a Korean house, comes a manager to keep track of your time, your tournaments, and your upcoming matches therein. This is in stark contrast to the Western method of pro house-dom, wherein the players still manage their time individually. While a team manager directly benefits the lesser-skilled players the most, it has it's benefits for every player with almost no drawbacks. To avoid being a flash in the pan, Stephano would need to give up the next few years of his life to Starcraft, and under a professional's managerial care. I doubt this is something that will happen, but I can certainly hope that he goes this route. Until Stephano makes solid appearances in the GSL, TLers will be hard pressed to convince each other that Stephano is "the best". To go back to my original comparison, Stephano reminds me of Pillars much more than Grrr.... | ||

Sen and IdrA have both shown better results against better players before, and ret/dimaga have been much scarier when they're on their game (both can tend to be inconsistent). Stephano dodged all the good players at IPL3 and the other two tourneys he won lacked any real top-tier players. I guess his upcoming Blizzard Cup group will be a good display of him against top players, but I really can't see him going any better than 1-3 against MVP, MC, HerO, and DRG. | ||

He dodged all the good players at IPL 3? He beat the players that beat the players. At ESWC he dominated Marineking in the semifinal. at IPL 4 UK qualifier he took out grubby,Sase and tails that had just 2-0 Ryung. What results have Idra got thats better then Stephanos IPL 3, ESWC and IPL 4 uk qualifier wins. Only result Idra got is his IEM china win over Elfi o.0 You cant even compare it | ||
