but before the ipl 3 when nani was in europe i remember stephano in his stream beated naniwa several time on ladder, since the DH winter and since nani is in korea they both improved a lot, so theses old results means nothing for me. they are the 2 best foreigners actually but i don't know who is the best it will be very close series i guess

I'd bet my entire salary on Nani any time. He beat Sheth, Leenock and Nestea at Winter Arena and has a (close to?) 100% win rate vs. Stephano.

yea all 3 of them (sheth questionable) have better ZvP then stephano but there are far too many stephano fan boys for you to say something like that here.

Im a fan of stephano, but i cant wait until some toss player smacks him so everyone can stop saying hes unbeatablle ZvP - and hopefully nani can do that

I dunno, I think you could make a reasonable argument that Stephano and Leenock are on at least the same level in ZvP. Leenock's ZvP is quite bad compared to his other matchups. I know it's just stats, but his Korean ZvP Elo is something like #45. He's only been able to make it deep into the GSL by not running into Korean Protosses.

Stephano will win anyway. By accepting naniwa would lose$5000. Which is a lot of cash


Remember Naniwa is in Korea, and you didnt see him for a long time, while Stephano was practicing on European ladder making such statement is pointless without any considerations


nani is in korea and what are his results vs what stephano achieved in the little time he was in korea?

bc yes stephano was also in korea...you should see what he did on the ladder there.

Morrow got this right.

We need:

- the showmatch played on the same server
- bo9
- 2 awesome casters
- each map taken values 1000$
- the loser has to tweet for a month that the winner is the best foreign out there.


a month is a long time in the twitter world, maybe a day would suffice, also, as said, it needs two really good casters preferably players, idra/destiny and incontrol?


Grubby and IdrA!


yeah that would be sick as fuck, forgot about grubby, probably the best playercaster out there along with idra


ppl dont mention rotterdam enough...he's so funny casting along other players like grubby and all

pick out all the code S level protosses he has PLAYED in the last 3 months.

on another note: pick out ANY ZERG who has PLAYED vs code s level protosses in the last 3 months. you will find 1, and he lost everything: IdrA.

whoever denies that stephano is the best foreign zerg, best foreigner or best ZvP (sheth is good, but cmon, stephano is still another level...) is simply a huge hater, doesnt look at results, doesnt understand anything about SC2.

Ask any progamer who the best foreigner is atm - even IDRA himself would say that its stephano.

Oh God, people saying Sheth has a better ZvP than Stephano...

He admitted that he tries to copy Stephano's style but isn't there uite yet.

Haters...-_-

I think Stephano would take it, but I am totally rooting for Naniwa. Its a bit crazy to think a champion like Nani would be the underdog and I'd like to see him get it. A showmatch this epic would have to have epic casting with Day9, Tastosis or incontrol.

When stephano was just a baby he beat Huk who at the time was a code S protoss and Stephano dominated huk so much in HSC 3 it wasnt even a fair fight. Are Code S players good? Yes. Are they overrated? Yes

stephano has a sick record against european/american protoss players but whenever he played against top korean protoss like mc he lost. that is the reason why his zvp record is not as good as many think it is.

i am not saying stephanos zvp is bad or anything but saying he is the best zvp player based on his zvp record is just ignorant.

@topic
i would love to see this showmatch i think it would be an interesting and close series.
