We already have "Stephano's Ladder Run" thread which is constantly getting bumped in seconds even when he farts. "OMG did you see that fart?"

And now this. I really don't understand why FanClub page doesn't suffice.

Stephano has more talent than anyone in the world.


Sometimes, I hope bw fans will post in a sc2 thread...

Really, you created an account to post that?

Good article, agreed that Stephano looks like the strongest player I've seen. Saw him lose a couple times on ladder yesterday to blind counter all-ins, hardly ever after a long game.

Plus he makes ultralisks, my favorite unit.

korean pros don't take ladder seriously.

they use it to practice random stuff.

Stephano is talented yes, but so are many other pros, he's not the best player in the world.

Nobody is a super clear best in the world in sc2. that's reserved truly dominant players like flash/jd.

First great post buddy.

However using big words as best player in the world is abit to much. There is no doubt Stephano is here to stay and he is defiantly one of the worlds best zerg..

The last week has been so incredible if you followed Stephano. Just after 1 week he is improving insanely fast. His french coaches sayd he has gained 100 apm thats crazy.

You did not just make a new account to say that rubbish.


yea really.... Am I suppose to read your name as liquid fuck as well?

Weird choices dood, anyways good OP, I don't really agree with it because I haven't seen stephano play against truely top flight competition at a LAN (IPL3 was a good start but not a best player in the world maker)

MC stomped him. Therefore that means MC is actually the best player in the world. Let me go write a dumbass article about it, will make about as much sense as anything here.

If there were less wrongs in the first couple paragraphs I would take this read more seirously, but after reading Idra forfeited in the midle of a run, and Jinro fell after a Ro8 I cant keep reading sorry.

Watching his stream is so fun and then you truly see how good he is!
Hopefully he can kill everything in the Blizzard cup tourney!



He did end up in the sickest group of all time so it will be a true test for him!

MVP and Nestea... Best in the world, I think anyone will agree.

I'd say Stephano is already better than IdrA, he just hasn't had the tournaments to show it since he hasn't been in many.

Its a pretty biased statment yes. hes clearly among the top 20 players in the world but thats all. you should watch how jjajki crush him 3 games in a row on his ladders sessions.

should rename title to "Why Stephano has potential to be the Best SC2 Player in the World"

the current one is ridiculous and childish
These little dudes really like the blue stuff..

I'd throw Nestea in that category, maybe not recently, but he's definitely a candidate.

I am not the biggest Stephano fan but if people say that koreans don't take ladder seriously why are there so few foreigners who can even get to grandmasters or high grandmasters?
