one of the two will happen, he get 2-0ed out of first group stages or he will have an amazing run!

If he is going to play in ProLeague, that's the best place to practice for him.

Nice, let's see if he actually care about it and practice for it.
I have a feeling him doing it is more because of EG than anything else.

A bit morose about Huk seed. The guy doesn't manage to get pass Code A qualifiers for quite some time now.

Hopefully he'll practice hard for this. because he's not been looking too hot recently.
There's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep trying till you run out of cake.

I don't think jetlag should be a problem, he'll likely arrive early enough. EG's not gonna have jetlag interfere with Stephano in Code S.

Gl Stephano, hope you win it all but not looking forward to reading the LR threads.

If he wins one match people will hail him as the best player of the world instantly.
If he loses people will use the no preparation and playing Proleague at the same as excuse.

Indeed, the live report thread will be a mess.


And what about the people who will be glad to see him win a match, and disappointed if he loses... ?

They will avoid the LR thread for the sake of their sanity

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.


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.
He does that in non-GSL leagues though, and only recently, since he became too good to even matter. However, in the past he was capitalizing on understanding the style of the opponent and dismantling him, preferably in longer series. The longer, the better. Which is what he'll have to come back to in the GSL. Exciting times ahead.

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.

I can definitely see Stephano doing very well, at least he should reach semi-finals if he practices a lot and he is without doubt code-S quality!

People said that about his earlier strategies, and they took months to really adapt.

Stephano and Snute in Code S?! This is so awesome. I kinda expect Stephano to do good, but I wouldn't be surprised if Snute kicks some asses. After all he won HSC VI 4-0 against Symbol.

Indeed, why? Because he was never playing in Code S and the Koreans pretty much adapt to strategies when they have to face them. Preparing for a weekend tournament is entirely different.
People said Rain was the best player in the world. He went on crazy runs through weekend tournaments and OSL and then? Mvp had enough info to beat him when he had to. That's what happens in GSL.

A not-in-shape-Stephano can still achieve ro8 if he doesn't face too many zergs.

Brace yourselves, Stephano is going to code S !
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it
