Well only Idra and Huk can really compete with him in terms of acchivements. I think he has proved that hes one of the absolute best foreigners.


Stephano is the best foreigner. Stop the denial, guys


He said one of the best, stop the Stephano crusade please.

And I'm really tired of watching foreigners go without a single win time and time again after being given seeds. If they were worthy of competing in the GSL they could qualify like everyone else. I could easily find 10+ korean B-teamers I would rather see in code A than the pathetic foreigner performances we've gotten.

I did agree with Idras seeding though since he was a mainstay in the GSL for so long, but even he went down without too much of a fight.
Life is too short to take it seriously.

I agree with you in general that seeds isnt the way to go. That being said, I really like the idea of MLG working as a second qualifier for GSL. That is if they actually hand out the price to the winner.

People complaining about foreigner seeds to get over it - in many major tournaments around the world (e.g. tennis), wildcards are given out to people. Although, I'll comment that I feel that 2 Code S seeds is a bit much, they should reduce to 1.

I would agree with that if everyone got even chances.
Seeing lower finished foreigners getting a seed then higher finished koreans just cause they are foreigners is just silly.
It's not a qualifier, its a free pass considering how low you can finish and still get a pass while the koreans need to get 1 - 3rd place.

Stephano is the best foreigner. Stop the denial, guys

How can you even make that claim without him beating top koreans is beyond me.
Isn't the biggest thing he won IPL where he basically dodged all good koreans?

yeah, he's only beaten drg, hero, lucky, violet, mkp, thestc, boxer, etc. All of these are proven code A+ players.
By.Sun or By.Rain, he always delivers

Foreigners should earn the right for Code S.
There should be an tournament where the best foreigners Play.
The winner and 2nd placed player should earn the seeds.
And not giving the seeds blindly to players.
