We were all anticipating this somehow. I hope he will find his earlier level of game.

He will do well the first few rounds, but after that I think the increased level of competition will be too much. He just need to play a few seasons before we can really judge him.

People tend to forget that Stephano was awesome way before Zerg was good. Late 2011 Early 2012 there was 4 zergs in the world : Stephano, Leenock, DRG, Nestea and Violet came in the early days of 2012 and that was it. The other zerg (Curious, Revival,Golden, Lucky) were all tier 2 players.

No Hyun, No life, No Sniper, no foreigner patch zerg at that time.

Stephano is everything but a Infestor abuser, you can't call him a patch zerg !

Yes, yes he would have. People have forgotten at this point that Mvp was a mechanical monster before his wrists blew up. Sure, there are players around now that are at the level he was, but he was the only one really bringing kespa a-teamer level mechanics at that time. Anyone that ever watched one of his rare streaming sessions from that time knows it too, its why he was able to tear up foreign tournaments at that time too, he was just by far the most complete player in the world.

As far as your actual point, yeah, stephano is no patchzerg, he's had a much rougher time of it since the patch because he runs into ZvZ more often. He was winning vs z P and T well before the patch, and this is coming from someone that REALLY doesn't care for stephano. Or foreigners in general really... except grubby, everyone should love grubby.
I will always believe in the fallen king.

as incontrol said "stephano might look like he doesn't care and doesn't train at all, but he does really care and trains, he's just afraid of people giving him pressure because he doesn't want to disappoint anyone".

i really think he will make it far as long it's not zvz every round.

People also over exaggerate how good his mechanics were pre-wrist explosion.

I don't think MVP was such a mechanical monster as you make him to be. He had GOOD mechanics, but they weren't top notch. DRG for example was way way faster, Yonghwa had amazing mechanics as well. MVP's strength has always been that he has been above average at every single aspect of SC2, decision making seems to be his greatest though.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

He had 150-170 eapm at blizzcon 2011, to say that mechanics were ever really mvp's strength is kind of silly. He was certainly no MMA or Bomber. Making the seemingly perfect move consistently was what made mvp win 4 championships.

im sorry but MVP wasnt the best at mechanics, he was just the smartest player in the world and coupled with his incredible mechanics ( not the best) that was why he succeeded, now he relies almost on preparation and experience alone since his wrists are fucked
