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.


It's comments like these that actually make me appreciate Stephano less. And it's not even his fault. It's the fault of his overzealous fanbase overhyping him.

Really, he's the most amazing SC2 player whos going to be the SC2 bonjwa and even plays the best music (personal preference) on his stream? That makes me roll my eyes so far back into my head that they might just get stuck. Why can't you just post your love for him on his fan club thread? Why do these comments appear everywhere? They're just so... unjustified. They're opinions, not facts.

He's fucking good. He's great. Best Zerg foreigner at the moment. Possibly the best foreigner period. But please stop drooling and take note that although he's performed very well in many foreign tournaments, ladder records =/= GSL trophies (let alone a long period of godly reign over anyone else).

By the way, potential doesn't count for shit unless it's actually recognized and honed properly.

He's already been the highest ranked Zerg on KR GM for a month, were where you in Dec/Jan?

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


Nah it wasn't, 80%+ winrate thanks to bunker rushes / 1 base marines allin 90% of the times it's nothing impressive

Do maybe 10% of what MKP has done on the Korean Ladder and then talk about impressive. Stupid when people talk down other people's achievements because they think it wasn't done the way they wanted. Idiot.

That is awesome! Good for him, hope he wins more tournaments.

All i see people bitching and saying " Oh it ain't no Korean ladder, so don't go there girlfriend ". But i bet 90% of these posters on this thread couldn't even do that on EU. So shut up and stop saying that it isn't Korean ladder, no shit we all know how tough that server is.

To be fair he plays mostly classic rock, it's pretty safe to say it's a lot better than the music on idra's stream that sounds like I'm trying to get a dialup connection.

Congrats on your Arbiter icon DarkPlasmaBall!

And I don't see why this is worth a 12 page discussion. He is probably the best foreigner, with only Huk and Naniwa really competing with him at all.
