HappyChris is a Stephano fanboy. That's all you need to know.

I don't think that someone can be "The best player of the world" ; it depends on too many factors. But one thing for Stephano : he's listening very good music. Rare enough to be told

No Im a stephano fan and a realist and I never claimed Stephano to be the best in the world. 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.

That's all you need to know. Unnecessary ad hominem, shame on you. 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.

a realist would not claim boxer was well prepared and stephanno was tired, when boxer had no clue he was about to play stephano. You are not a realist, you are a fanboy.

The OP and this entire thread has been flamebait. I think the reason it hasn't been closed yet is because a mod took one look at the OP, saw the wall of text, realized how much effort was put into it and took pity. So he settled to just changing the title to be less controversial instead.

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.

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

I don't think anyone would dispute MVP being the best SC2 player. Stephano is really good, but let's not get ahead of ourselves yet proclaiming him the best. He is probably in the top five no doubt, but no one comes close to MVP right now. I would round out the top five as:
Leenock Jjakji MVP Stephano Nestea
Sorry Protosses, but I really don't see one of you guys having a better skillset than those five guys.

You placing Stephano way to high. Stephano is proberly around top 20.

My top 10 zergs : 1 - Nestea 2 - Losira 3 - Leenock 4 - YuGiOh 5 - Min 6 - Coca 7 - Zenio 8 - Sen 9 - DIMAGA 10 - Stephano
Yeah Stephano is one of the very best foreigners but all this fanboyism is not justified yet.

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.

I would go for:
1) MVP 2) Leenock 3) Jjakji 4) Nestea 5) DRG
Honourable mention: MMA

I'm glad the OP had the guts to go through with this post. After watching IPL 3 I made a similar conclusion, that Stephano has an incredible amount of natural talent, and I drew a hasty comparison with 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.

I want to love stephano as every zerg fanboy does, but I can't stand his terrible micro sometimes. seriously, everytime I watch his tournament games, I cringe as I see roaches randomly walking into their death.

according to Artosis, every player is the best in the world. it's not an argument

What. 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

Stephano is not top 5...I'd rate him at around top15
