You're right, GM in Korea is scrub level.

He will become better than he was with training. His ZvP is already good, obviously, but all of his matchups (particularly ZvT) lack the depth required to play in a more preparation based tourney like the GSL or GSTL. That's what Stephano needs to be training the most, IMO: varied styles.

What? That statement is so ridiculous it's not even funny.

I have to assume you're pretty new to the SC scene and haven't done your research; Mondragon is an absolute legend.

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.

wtf ? you really followed sc1 ? mondragon was the foreign monster for a DECATE for over 10 years and you say overcome after 1 year ? oh man ... sad new world ....

in sc1 even winning a map vs a korean was something BIG and he beat savior the best sc1 player of that (all?) time ...
so dont talk if you dont followed sc1 for 10 years ok ? thanks alot

sure stephano is great but as he even said he not wanna life in this scene, he not wanna play more then maximal 1 more year i doubt he can be the foreign hope for the future ... (as much as i want it)

also epic haters say his winratio is low by him having played himself 74% ^^ and gm on korea ? pfff what a noob must he been to only be low gm ?? -_- guys wake up from dreamland !

Seriously we are still hyping him for doing well on kr ladder? 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 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

given that there were so few tournaments in BW, his achievement list is quite big.
ECG 1st place
WCG 3rd place
TSL 2nd place

and thousands of 1st places in smaller german or european tournaments/ladder tournaments/clanleagues etc.

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.

ahah sure. 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.
