Stephano is a couple of tiers below DRG to be honest. I don't think their styles are all that similar either.
DongRaeGu knows how to work a crowd and make everyone excited for a match, kind of like boxing or pro-wrestling. So does Naniwa, who even admitted that rivalries make fans interested in upcoming matches.
Stephano is definitely not a couple tier below DRG in ZvP. And they do play a pretty similar style, only drg plays mutas more often and has tweaked the mass roaches with drops, just like the TSL zergs.
And DRG loses to the immortal all-in just as hard as Stephano, so there might be a way for our little Swedish friend

rofl indeed.
Has Stephano had consistent success in beating Code S-tier protosses? I would say no.
He was torn-up by MC in their best of 7 or 9, beat by Mana (who isn't Code S) multiple times, and loses to top Korean protosses in tournaments.
Stop drinking the Stephano kool-aid. He's a top two foreigner with Naniwa but he just isn't on the same level as DRG.

DRG, Nestea, Symbol, Violet, then a toss up between Sniper, Shine, Revival who have all been extremely good lately. Stephano is a top foreign zerg, but he doesn't do very well against mid-top tier Koreans.
Naniwa and DRG (or as my friends and I call him, DRmotherfuckingG) are my two favorite players, but I'm rooting for Nani all the way. DRG had his time, Nani deserves his!

I looked at Stephano's top 3 tournaments (in terms of monetary earnings): IPL 3, ESWC 2011, and IPL 4 Qualifiers.
The only top koreans he faced in each tournament were:
IPL 3: can't say any were top tier, best was TheStC ESWC 2011: Marineking IPL 4 qualifiers: TAiLS was the best
Honestly, I like Stephano, but the notion that he's one of the best players in the world is unfounded.

And just to make you look even more stupid than you already do, here are the koreans stephano beat in the last two tourneys he played:

Yeah, Symbol, Sniper, Shine and Revival are all better than Stephano because of their huge achievements....wait, they all pale compared to Stephano... Oh i got it now, they are korean and Stephano isn't...he must be weaker than them.
Every single korean respect Stephano, he's one of the most studied players in Korea(JD loves his play), MC, MKP and MVP and others said he was top 3 zerg in the world...will you excuse me, but i'd rather follow their opinion than that of a random poster in a forum :p
STOP HAVING OPINIONS THAT DON'T AGREE WITH MY OPINION
Player rankings are always subjective and usually bias, it's impossible to know who's where, compare players who don't often meet eachother/play the same opponents etc. Getting mad at people who think other players are better is completely pointless.

That's a bit unfair, no? To compare Symbol and the rest of these Korean Zerg's to Stephano's achievements. Just because they don't attend foreign tournaments doesn't mean Stephano is automatically better than them. Symbol took 2nd in Iron Squid (A tournament where Stephano dropped out on) and is currently in Ro8 of the GSL, which I think is a huge achievement.
The other Zergs are pretty damn good Zergs as evident in the GSTL.

Man, he's so bad... Yeah, definitely bad...
Never said he was BAD.
The last two tourneys he played were: Dreamhack and Red Bull Battlegrounds.
Dreamhack Open: Beat none of the people you noted Red Bull Battlegrounds: Lost to MC, but I he did beat Parting and Squirtle (not known for PvZ) Edit: Shit, forgot about Spring Championship. You're right, he did beat Alicia and JYP (lol top tier koreans).
If you want to be called a top two ZvP-er, as you called Stephano, you need to have consistent success in that field, which Stephano DOESN'T HAVE, especially against MC, who has a major win advantage over Stephano.
P.S. I like how you resort to major ad hominem when faced with a dissenting opinion
These are two polar opposite interviews. While DRG is booming with confidence, Nestea is being incredibly modest. I wonder which one makes it. DRG still has Symbol to go through.

No, it isn't unfair since all those zergs haven't been hyped by proplayers as Stephano has been...It's not because zerg have had a huge buff and start being "notale terran players" that they became better than Stephano, it's just that Stephano doesn't have the chance to face everyday top korean players...

Would you have the kindness of giving me who the notable PvZer are: I guess i know the answer, it's either someone Stephano beat or haven't played :p
And against MC, on the last three tournaments(don't give me the HSC4 crap, he was drunk) he's 8-9...that's pretty good and MC is the best ZvPer in the world by far...
Yet again, you're wrong: the last two tourneys he played are MLG and Dreamhack, in which he beat JYP and Alicia(who are i believe known for having some decent PvZ), because we all know Parting and Squirtle are scrubs and Stephano only beat them because this is their weakest match-up..;

Symbol is on a mad tear right now, I don't know where you've been. He's in GSL ro8, he took 2nd in Iron Squid and 2nd in MLG Spring Arena 2. The other Koreans I mentioned are killing it in GSTL.
And I don't know what tourny's you're looking at but Stephano came in 3rd in Dreamhack Summer for beating Keen and a bunch of foreigners and 5th/6th in MLG Spring Championship by beating some Koreans who are on a downward spiral, some of which I wouldn't even call middle tier. Or maybe you mean MLG Spring Arena where he did beat MC but got rocked by who? Violet and Symbol, the guy who has no achievements according to you.
EDIT forgot about Red Bull Lan, yes he did beat them MC and Squirtle, which is a great accomplishment, I'll give him that. But to say he's one of the best in the world is crazy.
I hope that somehow Naniwa can wipe the smirk off of DRG's face. I'm not sure if he can, but I'm hoping he will. I was hoping that Ryung would pull out a miracle and take DRG out, but it was not meant to be.

Naniwa and DRG (or as my friends and I call him, DRmotherfuckingG) are my two favorite players, but I'm rooting for Nani all the way. DRG had his time, Nani deserves his!
Yeah, Symbol, Sniper, Shine and Revival are all better than Stephano because of their huge achievements....wait, they all pale compared to Stephano... Oh i got it now, they are korean and Stephano isn't...he must be weaker than them.
Every single korean respect Stephano, he's one of the most studied players in Korea(JD loves his play), MC, MKP and MVP and others said he was top 3 zerg in the world...will you excuse me, but i'd rather follow their opinion than that of a random poster in a forum :p
Symbol is on a mad tear right now, I don't know where you've been. He's in GSL ro8, he took 2nd in Iron Squid and 2nd in MLG Spring Arena 2. The other Koreans I mentioned are killing it in GSTL.
And I don't know what tourny's you're looking at but Stephano came in 3rd in Dreamhack Summer for beating Keen and a bunch of foreigners and 5th/6th in MLG Spring Championship by beating some Koreans who are on a downward spiral, some of which I wouldn't even call middle tier. Or maybe you mean MLG Spring Arena where he did beat MC but got rocked by who? Violet and Symbol, the guy who has no achievements according to you.
EDIT forgot about Red Bull Lan, yes he did beat them MC and Squirtle, which is a great accomplishment, I'll give him that. But to say he's one of the best in the world is crazy.
All the progamers say otherwise...and their opinion is infinitely more relevant than yours
