wtf is wrong with you? Why the overhype? I know stephano is a pretty special player but why call him the best player? At least say potential.

On one hand, you have MVP who has made it to almost every finals of all the tourneys hes taken part in over the past few months.
On the other, you saw stephano won IPL3 and 1/2 other tourneys and saw him beat some good players on stream and you say he has the most talent in the world?

He will probably get #1 rank in ladder, but players like Alive, Sc, Polt and many other mediocre ones have gotten #1 rank on korean GM before. It dosen't mean anything.

What the fuck? He's definitely got potential to be one of the best, I'll give you that, but he is absolutely not even close to being the best player in the world right now.

Huh?

Stephano beat KiwiKaki, Violet (Code A), Inori (Code B), TheSTC(Code B) and Lucky (Code A).

And didn't theStC 2-0 Stephano back in MLG one week or couple after?

This was a terrible post, not just because I entirely disagree, but because there is not a single piece of evidence supporting the outrageous claim with the exception of him beating a bunch of b-level koreans in IPL. You just kind of vaguely say that he has a ton of talent.

Honestly, not to flame, but if anybody thinks that Stephano is the best player in the world then you obviously don't even know what you're watching for when you're making that determination. Not only does he not have the results to prove it, but in my opinion from watching his games it seems like he's miles behind a lot of other top players in terms of multitasking, drone/aggression timings, and decision-making. I'm not even going to list examples of people better than him and why because the list would be like 70 players long.

This, a million times over. He's probably not even the best foreign zerg out there. Both Sen and IdrA have shown much better results against better players, and players like Ret or DIMAGA look much better when they're on their game. Stephano has pretty much dodged all the good players at all the tournaments that he has won, and this is further highlighted by his lackluster MLG where the competition is obviously much better.

Should this thread even be allowed to keep going? I mean, I'd rather not see threads for MVP, Nestea, MC, MKP, Huk, etc etc etc pop up like this - there is a fanclub thread for this stuff.

MVPTails is the best player in the world cause he beat MVP and Nestea back-to-back in a 30 minute span.

I think that statement holds more weight than Stephano being the best player.

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.


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



they are among the best.

but they aren't super dominant lke JD/flash.

do you follow bw?

they are nowhere near the dominance that flash has shown.


rofl, the arrogance..
this has nothing to do with flash, it is fucking irrelevant. MVP is the best SC2 player in the world, he doesnt have to be as dominant as flash for that.

This should have been a blog or a great post for the Stephano fan club... I mean I like stephano and all be he still have things to proove to be the best player in the world... Isnt he going back to school in like 8-12 months anyway and kinda quitting on sc2? Dont think he'll ever be the absolute best within that time range....
IdrA and Stephano fighting!

Most naturally talented, maybe, if the tales about his practice time are true. Best? Not yet.

seriously... what big tournaments did he win so far? ipl and thats it?
compared to the achievements of mvp or other good koreans thats nothing.

i like stephano and he is good indeed, but this constant overhype is ridiculous and probably makes more people dislike him than anything else.

Seconded. Both sides, fanboys and haters, come up with absurd arguments.

You are not the only one. I guess this is mostly about trolls fighting each other.
