About time! He is definitely code S caliber and very capable of beating any of the best players in the world. In fact I don't think any protoss can beat him in a BoX currently, inside Korea or otherwise.
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.

Out of every foreigner, he definitely is the one who deserves it the most. HOWEVER, i can see from this thread already that many people believe he will go very far. I do not, i think he's amazing at the game, truly the best foreigner, however, he is absolutely the most studied player with the koreans, and since GSL is obviously mainly koreans, it will be VERY difficult to push past ro32 if he meets a world class player - (Nestea, mvp, mma, mkp, MC, the list goes on). Saying that, i wish him the absolute best of luck and will cheer frantically for him to win the next GSL (along with cheering for naniwa in this gsl).

Hard to be overly optimistic about the prospects of any Zerg in the GSL, given the results of this season, but if any foreign Zerg can make an impact in the GSL, it's Stephano.

You think that because he's rarely playing highest level protoss players. Stephano looks invincible only because he's never participated in the GSL.

is he going to Korea?


?

Yes, he is. This is old news. And how else was he gonna play in the GSL?


Sorry, can I get a link? And nowhere does it say he is going to play in GSL, it just says he was given yet another seed if he wanted to play.

His tweet from some days ago. Not exactly old news, I know. Sorry

And when I was saying "how else was he gonna play" I meant that he needs to go to Korea to participate. He can't play from afar.
Always smile~

The hype is not nearly as bad as it used to be. People have started to began to assess his skill much better as time has gone on. Most people know that he will get crushed by the best Koreans and hold with most mid-tier Koreans. He isn't a favorite to win Code S by any means, but I don't expect him to go 0-6 and into Code B either

if naniwa picks stephano in code S to be in his group then we will mb see the highest GSL viewer ratings of all time.

lol giving free invites like that....When people like DRG,Genius and others are in code A and HuK is in code B. This is silly... gratz to stephano but I think this needs to stop giving free passes to players. I don't say Stephano doesn't deserve it but Code S and Korea is ruthless place and they already said Stephano is the most studied non-kr so I think he will be free pass in the group stages. Just because he is not familiar with Korea and this kind of tournaments where koreans pick your style apart because they have so much time to prepare and the bad side is that Stephano can't prepare for anybody because he is just thrown to the lions. I will cheer for him but i don't think he will do much.

Look how much beating every non-kr took before finally was able to produce something. Because they were thrown in code s just like that I think this creates the "imba" aura koreans have. Nobody from those invites had the time to prepare and I think its the wrong approach. Give them something like higher seeding in code b qualis or 1st round code a looks more reasonable. This invites seem to me like bo1 single eliminaton tournaments.

MC would like a word with you (MC is 7-0 vs Stephano overall in both tournies and ladder).

They should preserve the second seed so they can get a proven Code S player back in should he get cheesed out of Code A.
