He won NASL off of 2 weeks of no practice... I wonder what 2 weeks of practice will do?

lol anyone who tries to apply common sense that other pros say what training regiments require to be good at Sc2 stephano has already shattered. He will greatly benefit from a merely two weeks of being in a pro house like TSL training for MLG. 2 weeks of training in korea for stephano is like 2 months worth of effort for a normal pro. Anyone who watches him play can clearly see if you have any knowledge of high level play just how insane his play is and how fluent he makes it look. Not to mention that he never shows any kind of mental tilting like a fair bit of other top players.
Even him doing little things like constantly building units during middle of battle chaotic situations AND adding them to a group of units specified by the unit type while microing in fights in insane. I.E. while microing in a heated fight, control group 4 for example for hatches then build specific unit, control click larva shift add to group wanted in selected units (since he usually uses about 3 control groups for units based on type of units) then back to his hatch control group build more units control click that larva add to group back to the fight and micro some more. WHILE PLAYING VS other top players. He does this without messing up constantly and makes it look fluent. This alone to not make mistakes with is freakish. You'll notice a lot of other especially foreign zerg players in heated fights cannot do this and instead rally their units close by and then highlight to select to fight but this actually is not nearly as effective to reinforce as the way stephano does it so quickly while managing fights.
Oh and not to mention in the short period of time he's been in korea (if anyone knows that stephano has said one of his biggest weak points is that he misses injects a lot when game intensity picks up) you'll notice that in this short period of time in korea he has been keeping queen energy down and hitting injects more often.

I'm not sure that you guys know, but Stephano played 43 games in one day. If you continue that in two weeks on Korea server there is NO FUCKING WAY you won't improve a fuckton...

59% in low gm is not that good. There are a ton of players with 60% or 70% in low gm

Stephano got a 75% win ratio. The account he is using is a loan from coach lee and it had 99 wins and 99 losses on it when he started playing it
I do love we still got people trying to discredit Stephano´s imba skill:D
If I was you I would have sayd: "Took him 3 days to get into GM, what a scrub!"
