Stephanos gonna have a tough schedule with PL and Code S. We all should curb expectations. It will be awesome to see him though.

yeah, beating Mvp, MKP and MMA with a totally new strategy is nothing special...


Well... GSL is different. They'll have time to analyze him and pick him apart. Also note that none of the above mentioned were performing very well when Stephano beat them. MKP is notoriously weak vs zerg atm, MMA sadly is notoriously bad in general atm and Mvp was never known to be an online beast. Mvp is the kind of player who will beat Stephano the hardest in the GSL.


Exactly this. When koreans prep for GSL they take the players usual known builds and get their practice partner run that build for a lot of games until they find every possible timing they can exploit with what build and with Stephano its just even easier.. 1 style player just makes it so much easier than other GSL players that can pop out multiple styles of play if they get figured out during a game. Which is why people are saying Stephano will get rolled. He plays the same style every game and the koreans are going to rip that style completely apart and what will Stephano be left with?

It's why people (including myself) are so sceptical when people say "Stephano best zerg in the world" when he has no business having that title when he hasn't stepped into GSL for a full season to prove it. Different preparation is needed when playing in GSL from a normal foreign tournament. Beating a Code S player means really nothing until you step into their playground and go head to head with them and having a completely fair playing field of each player getting time to set up a plan instead of foreign tournaments where your just punching through wall after wall and being able to win with 1 style. Bye bye Stephano I hope you get a group of death to really see if you belong as a "best player" of any region.


Did i miss something or since when is Stephano considered to be a "1 Style Player"?

Finally! That's about all that needs to be said. I just hope he does well!

I wouldn't call him that, but there are times where it sure feels like it.

Man I can't wait for this, I really think he has the potential to go far. Code S though, even the best of the best have been known to get knocked out first round...

He is sure able to go far if he practices well, especially his ZvZ.
Otherwise, this move is useless.

First starting off with GSL Up/Down with Flash & Jaedong and now this!? SC2 is going to start off with a good year in 2013.

Was actually surprised Stephano didn't accept the seed (or get a spot) in the last GSL Code S as the finals were taken place at IPL5.

Hope Stephano wins it all and calls Code [S]tephano
As far as Stephano's ZvZ, Jaedong's ZvZ seems pretty beastly and is a big fan of Stephano's gameplay so I'm assuming the two will work together in EG-TL's "The Lab."

Although practically, Stephano might not go far because he isn't as diligent as most of the pros. While a lot of the opponents in the group will study him like no-tomorrow, he might not take it as seriously (although it might change, now EG has a coach). Also, Stephano has been slumping lately. But then again, this is Stephano who is full of surprises.

How exactly is Stephano slumping? the past couple of tournaments, he only lost to ZvZ which prevented him winning the tournament. The matchup that he's not really known for, his ZvT and ZvP is up there though.

Stephano realises this is probably his best chance to win GSL as he doesn't have to worry about Korean Terran or Protoss anymore just the Zergs. ZvZ has always been his worst match up though and Code S is going to be full of Korean Zergs next time round so I don't expect him to do much.
