Yeah, you take one tournament that wasnt realy that high level of playing (you know if watched it) compared to several tournaments where he got owned by low/mid tier players.
And since when did he beat 4 GSL champion in LSC?

If he wins haters will find excuses, if he loses in his first GSL while having little or no preparation and playing Proleague at the same time they will say he sucks and that they knew it all along.
Gl Stephano, hope you win it all but not looking forward to reading the LR threads.

Haters gonna hate
Stephano gonna get paid

As much as my fanboy-love for him can go and as much as i hope he wins this season, i still feel like he's going to fail so hard.

This is stupid actually. In a 40 minute interview he said that the GSL format doesn't fit him well and that he does better in a short tournament (max 3 days) with random opponents. He also said that he thinks there's too little money in the prize pool for such a long time of preparation and matches. But I guess it's just an EG decision and he didn't really have a choice. If he meets a lot of terrans early on he could get far. With protoss it's a kinda even call and with good zergs he is dead already. I don't see Life/Sniper/Hyun/Leenock lose to Stephano at all.

Also 4th at HSC is still a good result imo, even for Stephano.

Gl Stephano, hope you win it all but not looking forward to reading the LR threads. And what are you doing? You are actually finding excuses in advance for either of the situations. Nicely done.

Well it was announced that he would be in korea playing proleague starting january and it was confírmed a long time ago that he has a code S seed waiting for him, so it only makes sense that he takes the chance for more money when he is in korea anyway.

Hope he does well !
Though I quite feel this is not the format where he can shine... Tough test, but interesting nonetheless !
Gogo Stephano !
|
Man, I have been waiting for the day I get to see the foreigner dreams crushed.
Thank you Stephano. Thank you for finally going to participate in the best league in the world, where you won't get by on free wins against easy opponents who don't really prepare for you.
|
LOL Stephanos going to get rolled.
|
If this is set in the stone Ill be buying a GSL pass this season ... so please make it official

Depends on how he takes it (seriously enough or not).
Foreigner can definitely do well (Naniwa made a few Ro8 this year...), though we'll never see again a Terran Foreigner in GSL for a long time.. (Jinro )

That's amazing! I hope its true.

oh lol time to fix my gomplayer
