EPTBecause this overhyping of players is just wrong, not funny and stupid. It hasn't helped us with Kas, Happy and Nerchio and won't help us with Stephano. Yes, he's is good, but we don't need to state things like "He WILL win a GSL, there just no other possibility!!!1einself!!"

All those players had periods where they dominated the foreign scene and people were hyping them up like crazy. They beat Koreans as well in different tournaments. And at the time they were "stephano level" relative to their competition in NA and EU. Maybe you can claim Stephano have already proved himself to be gsl code s ready but some people actually think we should wait until he's actually won or performed well in a tournament where he goes up more than a few top level players along the way (Koreans that is) There's no doubt he can beat players of Polts calibre but that doesn't mean he'll be able to do it week after week against a wide range of quality players of different races. | ||

But so what? So what if people are excited at the possibility of seeing him play in Korea? So what if they predict him to do better than what you expect? So what if people hype him? Why do you take offense at other peoples excitement? | ||

Even in a thread dedicated for cheering for another year of Mr French Zerg. I love Stephano and want him to do well. But saying he will win a GSL is stupid. I would argue and say DRG is better than Stephano (would rank them both in top 4 zergs worldwide together with Leenock and Nestea). But still DRG lost r32. In GSL anything can happen, because everyone in Code S are so solid and good. The chance of him making the finals are slim (just like any other player who plays there). There is a difference on stating "I hope he win" and "He will win". So please chill with the overhype and hope he does well. As long as he is satisfied with his performance we can be happy as fans. I hope he gets to show what he's capable of doing with the GSL format compared to other formats. And I hope we get to see well thought out builds. | ||

Hype is what keeps this scene going. Without hype, who's going to tune in to see who wins what? Stephano draws in 15-18k viewers because of his hype train. IdrA draws in the same with his personality. That's what keeps this scene going. Great play by itself doesn't sell tickets. | ||

In this thread, doesn't bother me, what does bother me are his fucking fanboys coming into every other unrelated thread and spamming nonsense. Gl Stephano, hope he gets/takes a GSL seed, would be interested to see how that goes | ||
