I have a bad feeling about this for Stephano, it does come down to the groups though. If he gets a few mid-tier Terrans he could make it to round of 8, after that it will be very tough.

Huhuh, people act as though Stephano's strength is in short series vs random opponents on the fly.

On the contrary, Stephano got famous for his LWW.. series (much like Jaedong himself), as he was able to adapt intelligently in longer series to the style he faces. If anything, he should thrive in a league like the GSL, where he can prepare carefully for his opponents. That's exactly what he's great at - deconstructing the style of the enemy.

And why is there so much wishes for foreigners to fail ? I don't understand (oh, well, something in the signatures of these post might be a hint...)

Wondering this as well, the other seed will be a KeSPA pro without a doubt.

Probably one year too late for Stephano. In 2011/early 2012 he had a chance, but now he will probably be raped. Sad.

it's the complete opposite really. stephano plays the same vs every opponent and waits for them to make stupid mistakes. he will be dismantled by koreans in their own league system. his style of play shows barely any preparation for opponents.

Him playing in Proleague basically mean two matches a week against good koreans, so it is fine for me.
As for his performance in GSL, I trust he will use the new motivation to play well but it still depends a lot on the group he is in. For example, if his RO8 player is Ryung or MKP, he can beat them, if it is Creator it must be about even (he still wins half of his PvZ's against the best players) but there are 5 good zerg who could crush him (I know Steph can pull out great performance in ZvZ though sometimes).
Overall with the number of terrans and protoss in first round code S, I think he has a decent shot depending on the consequences of the next patch.

Good luck with GSL Stephano!

What Im looking forward to the most is watching how the insane amount of practice available to GSL-players might affect him.

This. Even he had acknowledged in the "grilled" interview that he wouldnt foresee himself doing well because of the amount of player specific preparation. He (Imo) gave the impression that his style of practice is more or less just grinding games, I believe he might of even said he doesn't watch vods study replays etc. Im sure some of that is Stephanos whole "I dont practice"shtick but yeah Terranist is right on the money. I dont think hed drop out right away, but at the same time it wouldnt surprise me if that makes sense. Am I wrong in thinking his performance in Proleague will to an extent be a reflection of what GSL might be like for him?

I think snute will do better because his playstyle is not that known all over the world. Like everybody knows how Stephano plays his ZvP or ZvT cause he is no switching it up that much.
