Stephano is better then those 4 zergs that you mentioned. | ||

This can be posted in his fan club or something, or even the old stephano ladder run thread My thoughts exactly. Do we really need another thread on the same exact subject after the other one resulted in several warnings and bans? No one is going to change their mind on Stephano, you either love him or hate him. | ||

That doesn't make any sense. Are you watching the right computer game? | ||

By prize money, by ELO, APM, EPM, by # of wins, by head-to-head. Maybe Sen is in the discussion , the rest are hardly arguable. | ||

It's not really overhyped, its just flat out true. He shits on almost everyone | ||

If you wouldn't mind providing evidence and not trolling anymore, it would be nice. But again, with how overhyped stephano is I can see why people would be mislead to believe he's that great. And comparing prize money to players that were in GSL is silly. GSL is the hardest tournament in the world, in which Idra has spent 4 or so months playing, sen 3, and I'm not sure how many seasons sleep and violet were in GSL. Unless you're one of the lucky few you make very little money in GSL and even getting to code S like Idra and sen did (originally, not the seed they recently got) is much more difficult than winning some foreign tourney. | ||

Two things... 1) I've tuned into MKP's stream a few times and it wasn't him who was playing. 2) Stephano is easily the best foreigner zerg and perhaps best foreign player, and stating otherwise is just ignorant. All you need to do is look at him play. Nestea just named him best foreigner in the latest state of the game. I don't who's 'hyping' him, he won tournaments and plays well and thus he's popular. o_O | ||

Unlike Idra, Stephano is "famous" and popular cause he WINS tournaments, not cause he played BW rather horribly but he was supposed to be the god of SC2 when it came out HAR HAR. | ||

Any points you you might have are washed over like the tide over a sandcastle when you state, and then try to back up idra > stephano | ||

Which is what most people are pissed about. Obviously he's better than IdrA atm and anyone saying otherwise isn't really watching the game. | ||

That was so long ago as to be irrelevant. Back then FruitDealer was the best Zerg and Tester was the best Protoss. Neither player are of consequence today. Stephano is not scientifically better than IdrA, but in results he has out-stripped IdrA for the better part of a year, even though IdrA attended more big tournaments than he did. Denying this tells me you're not rational, in which case debate is worthless. Until IdrA starts winning again he is not a top foreign Zerg as far as results are concerned. | ||

I think your the only troll here, you wanted to start this who is better argument or you wouldnt have said they were better in the first place. Sen never got into GSL but was given an invite same as Idra(last gsl). Its years ago Idra did well in GSL, your skill one year ago says nothing about your skill today. | ||

Idra has proven is skill the last few tournaments like GSL, MLG and this IEM WC. Btw, for stupid people: this was sarcasm | ||
