Well he might not be the best foreigner, but he is certainly the most successful in terms of major wins/money earned. That means something.

At IPL, he beat bomber, curious, and jyp and took a game off nestea and mkp. He only lost to MMA, MKP, and Nestea, who are all top 10 koreans. He also recently 2-0'd zenio and 3-0'd puma.


Losing 3 - 5 to MC is even more impressive imo, taking 3 games off one of the 3 best PvZs is no small feat.

Seeing as Stephano is top 2 ZvP together with DRG I'd say it had to be expected to see him take a few games off MC, otherwise this game would've been bad.

All this "Stephano best foreigner stuff" makes me laugh. I'd like to point out that at MLG winter championship he lost in the open bracket to polt. Next round sheth took out polt 2-0. In the loser bracket Stephano lost to Inori who then lost to Idra in the next round. Its a stretch to call him the best foreign zerg, so please cut it out with this nonsense. Stephano hasnt won an MLG or a Dreamhack, easily to two biggest foreign tournaments.


Didn't he just beat Polt before that 3-1 to win the LoneStar Clash? He also 2-0'd Inori at the NASL S3 qualifier in February. I mean, at the level that Polt and Stephano play at, anyone can have a good day / bad day and over or under perform.

He lacks consistency and that's what separate good players from great players.



Then even jaedong, bisu , fantasy are all not great players then since they have all had times when they performed badly.

Except they are absolutely great players and your wrong.

Then by that measure, there are no great players in SC2, only good players.

NesTea, MC, MVP, MKP, among numerous others (every progamer?) have all had rough patches where they didn't perform well for several tournaments or a few months.

yup

I plan to purchase a ticket for GSL season 3 if Stephano accepts the invite.

Given that Code S games begin on June 11, does that mean that if he does not confirm by then, we will not see him compete?

He's not going, not sure how this isn't well known by now.

He said he would go in august for one month, not June because there is MLG/DH happening while ro32 is going on.

I think we will see Stephano not this season of GSL but next due to living arrangements and scheduling stuff.

Here's your source.

When can we expect you in Korea? BlinG said he will be going with you as well.

It should be around August, but nothing is for sure, but probably the beginning of August for one month.

Purchase a ticket anyways, (esports!) ? (I assume you just mean a GOM ticket, not a plane ticket to go see him play IRL)

Two seasons ago there were 3 foreigners is Code S, it's just two of them dropped to Code B immediately and the other won a series to remain in Code A but then forfeited the Code A spot to go back to Taiwan. I can understand how you could forget with how ridiculously quick it was.
