I really wish he'd man up and stay in Korea longer. He's completely outgrown the EU server. It's not a question of manhood, it's a question of common sense.. You guys love to brin the "man up" sentence everywhere you can. | ||

Having said that, the ladder results do mean something, especially the ratio. Getting Rank 1 GM on Ladder with 60% win rate is one thing, getting Rank 1 GM on Ladder with 90% win rate another. The kind of people who get 80-90% win rates against their regional peers are either hackers or the top players of that region. Look at Stephano's peers in win ratio on the other servers. They're the top players of their regions. They aren't the only top players of their regions, because not every top player ladders, but they're top players nonetheless. It doesn't mean he's going to win tournaments, but it means that he has the potential to win tournaments. But really, we're way past that stage with Stephano. He wins tournaments. Stephano is the most hyped up EU player since Kas, and he deserves the hype. | ||

Stephano is the best viewing experience since Seinfeld went off TV. He could be the best player in the world..... I guess that scares people who are in BW/KR community, because he's so different. What would it mean to the KR scene if a French WC3 player became the Bonjwa..... it hasn't happened yet... but if you've seen Stephano play enough, you know that he has that potential in him. Certainly more than any other foreign player in Starcraft history. | ||

Or at least in the other thread of the exact same nature? | ||

All the Europeans practicing in Korea could be making significantly more money by training in Europe and entering every tournament out there like Stephano does. But they aspire for a higher level of competition. It also just so happens that this is extra entertaining, as I get to see foreigners against Koreans. I simply wish Stephano would do the same =) | ||

His MLG runs show that he is as good against randoms with no preparation as he is with the full force of his team behind him. He most certainly does. MMA spent the last week (at least) watching foreigner replays, because he expected IEM to be difficult and is relatively inexperienced vs non-koreans. Fortunately for him he crushed through group stages and it is very unlikely that he'll have to play against a non-korean again in the tourney. | ||

Stephano got ranked 7th in Korea with a 72% winrate and was the highest ranked Zerg on the KR GM server. So yeah...Him beating easily the EU ladder shouldn't be surprising. | ||

I feel there is a chance he's capable of doing great things. But the fact is, contrary to what I'm sure he'd like to believe, its not a guarantee he'd be winning GSLs all over the place. He might be capable and I'd love to watch him work towards it. | ||

1 FoxeR 511 127 Now that's more impressive IMO. 80%+ win-rate with 638 games, on the hardest server. | ||

I'm not the biggest fan but a 90% win rate on EU is still impressive MKP lost in the qualifier to Stephano at IPL 3 (and didn't qualify), but point taken. | ||

MarineKing has always been the best ladder player ever when he wanted to be 1st of the ladder, nothing new ^^ Some seasons ago he had 3 accounts in the top 5 GM at the end of the season | ||
