kind of conflicted about it though because even if he retains Code S (ro8 or better), he'll probably give it up because he won't be staying in korea | ||

Don't get me wrong, I'd put him in the top two foreigner with Naniwa easily, but his constant no-shows, his lack of dedication to what basically is his job, and just the general attitude he gives when he does something that is wrong. I'm utterly confused as to why people think his the bees knees, but I guess each to their own. With that being said, I don't think his going to succeed too far in the GSL based on what Koreans have said. He is able to take games and potentially sets, but as most people have stated, once they get used to his play style he'll drop out like he did in the Cup. Now you can say 'oh but he was xx GM in korea' yeah that's cool and all, except for the sole factor that GM means nothing. Everyone knows Stephano is good his mechanics and responses are extremely tight and spot on, but I don't think his style of play will allow him to progress in the GSL as his opponents have an ample amount of time to study Stephano, and as most pro's have said already(which I keep having to repeat since it is so important) once you figure out Stephano's play style his not as big of a threat as if you didn't have any research on him. Once a player can dissect Stephano's play style, and abuse the weakness of Stephano then he'll just drop. Most people in the GSL are on a pro team with a coach who will help analyse players for them and point out weakness in their play, and the weaknesses the player has against the opponent. So pretty much, Stephano is going to show some games where his opponents completely forgot or abstained on researching Stephano thus going to get pulverized, then there's the players that did, and will make it look like a fair match or potentially even one sided in their favour. But I do think it's not far-fetched to say that Stephano has some of the best mechanics right now, I do think it's far-fetched to call him a Code S player despite not actually participating in GSL yet. GSL is a completely different tournament to foreign and online tournaments. Let time speak for itself rather then jumping the gun. | ||

This is exactly what fan clubs are for; shit this OP has two sentences and is just full of "Yay!" posts, why is that even thread worthy? Also, seriously, stop with this bonjwa crap. Some people have no respect whatsoever. Maybe because Stephano is, money wise, the most succesfull non-korean progamer? Because he is top 2, in term of skill righ now, along with Naniwa? Maybe because people like to cheer for him? You are full of rage, it's sad for you :/ And stop with the bonjwa "respect", it's a joke, just like the USA part... | ||

I can't say I'm super excited with Stephano sticking around, unless he magically learns some professionalism. While he may be a good player, he has shown a pattern of disrespect to the tournaments he enters and this is not good for SC2 as an eSport. Maybe he will learn some grace and manners, like the new Naniwa, but I don't count on it. | ||

Sadly his ridiculous and overbearing fans is the main thing people dislike Stephano for. If they were a bit more reasonable he wouldn't be disliked by a percentage of the community based solely on that. | ||

He tried to find a good gaming computer, DURING his ski vacation, in the damn montain, and couldn't find one. MillStephano @MillStephano Sorry for the people waiting for the match between i and puma,i couldnt find a place with a decent connection to play, being in the mountain I get it that people can be angry at Stephano for not showing up at different events when he was clearly in front of his computer but just not bothering. But it's kinda ridiculous to give him shit on the NASL thing. | ||

I could care less about uninteresting players like Polt or Squirtle who are good, but never do or say anything out of the ordinary. I know there are a lot of "I don't care who he is and what he does, I just want to see the best possible games" guys around here, but that's not how I roll. That's also the reason why Idra has 10k+ viewers everytime he streams while some top koreans way better than him don't even get 1k.. | ||
