Of course if you actually knew anything about what you're talking about or Mondragon in general, you would know that Mondragon hardly has any achievements. Therefore it doesn't take much to surpass them. Put Stephano in BW and he won't get any either. What Mondragon had, however, is skill and talent and that is only obvious to those who witnessed it. | ||

I really hope he stops laddering so much and actually uses the great practice partners tsl and korea can provide him with, I don't think stephanos weakness is playing random bo1, but rather the mindgames going on in a bo5+ series and especially being able to mix up your builds at the right time. EDIT: Sry double post pls delete. | ||

Also there is very hard to say in SC2 because in SC:BW they had close to 0 chance to be a progamer,(every foreigner had to go to korea and that wasnt the easiest). In SC2 people can play from all over the world and be a "Pro". Mondragon studied while being an complete monster so NO u cant really compare stephano to Mondragon | ||

ECG 1st place WCG 3rd place TSL 2nd place and thousands of 1st places in smaller german or european tournaments/ladder tournaments/clanleagues etc. | ||

Yes it's the hardest ladder in the world, no that does not change the fact that it's only ladder and most top koreans use it primarily to offrace...

I'm not bashing stephano, I'm stating that what he has achieved isn't nearly as impressive compared to what mondragon has said, especially when he talks about quiting in almost every interview. Besides that, since when is the opinion of pro gamers and indicator for anything, sure stephano is good and it's nice for him, I guess, if pros praise him, but that really doesn't mean much of anything imo. | ||

So when the best of the best say you're the best, it doesn't mean anything. Mondragon never won any international tournament with koreans. Stephano won like 4 or 5. Stephano has more achievements than Mondragon. /closed | ||
