And thats why I never give much credit to such player like Stephano who has zero competitive spirit Not only from Stephano's perspective but Idra gives a good point in the 65th episode of Inside the Game. Basically, he ends up doing better (financially, due to being able to stream, and in terms of skill) outside of South Korea than inside South Korea. Even practicing in Korea doesn't give one much of an edge. There are hundreds of Koreans themselves who put in a ton of hours into SC2 but yet haven't been able to qualify or get much done (B-teamers are a good example; behind the scenes, a lot play as much as most players but they still can't manage). So you have to ask - If all these Koreans (and most B-teamers can probably take most foreigners in any series) practice this hard, and still can't make it big, then what advantage does a foreigner have in Korea? Yes, Foreigners will probably get better in Korea but the amount one gets better is variable and doesn't guarantee you can defeat or match Koreans in series (again, B-teamers who spend as much time as anyone practicing, even in a team house and stuff, still aren't able to compete much despite the huge investment). Again, Idra made a lot of good points in the 65th episode of Inside the Game about it. It's really understandable why Stephano is doing this. Plus, he's not a 100%" dream to be a pro gamer" as a career guy. He said several times that he is only doing SC2 and/or professional gaming in general, temporarily. He keeps doing it because he still shows good results and managed to continually earn money. | ||

He got into Up&Downs by 2-0ing Hack in Code S and taking third place in his group, the only seed he received was the initial Code S seed. | ||

Out of the ones you named only Naniwa and Idra really did better. Sure, jinro had back to back Ro4 when the baddies were able to stay in Code S, but overall skill vs competitor Stephano did much better than Jinro. And huk hasn't done anything impressive. | ||

Don't care for the underlying reasons, understandable or not. Horrendously disappointed as a spectator. | ||

Now we've got less matches to spectate, and a litttle bit less of a draw to watch the thing. Don't care for the underlying reasons, understandable or not. Horrendously disappointed as a spectator. 1000x? Horrendously? Drama queen alert | ||
