Wut? :D
HerO, MC, Taeja, Leenock, Symbol and maybe Stardust surely can take a game off of Jjakji, and I would say some of them are even favored.


He be joking. Of course he can't not believe that HerO wins HSC


HerO might be good during the winter, but jjakji is unbeatable during November.


You mean like last November right

Just hope Stephano doesn't embarass himself this time..

Each time he appears ppl will expect at least some results out of him.. He has the personality, but even if he's not coming back in business, he still should not pull out a "Schumacher's last season" performance or sth like that IMO
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

During the TL showmatch Stephano didn't have the latest Starcraft patch. There hadn't been a patch for a few weeks at that point so I doubt he has been practicing at all. Also anyone who says that Stephano didn't practice only heard that from Stephano himself. People like Demuslim said that Stephano practiced a ton.

Stephano gonna be destroyed. I guess you can't compete on pro level when you didn't play much.

But who the hell cares, since it's HSC it's all about fun and games =)

That's what everyone assumed would happen with Polt, right? If you're a genius at SC2, which Stephano arguably is/was, then perhaps magic can happen. It's Romance.

What makes it even better is the long standing rivalry between Polt and Steph back in 2012, basically the clash of the slacker titans(ok Polt perhaps less so, he was actually studying occasionally in between SC2 and pot).

Anyway, I don't think it matters if he loses or not, I don't think he cares all that much, as long as he gets to cast and goof around on stream I'm cool with it. I can't wait to hear how utterly disgusted he is with the level of play.

Theoretically he managed to get a reasonably easy group with Incontrol and Tod (although Leenock), but we'll see. Even Tod will probably have more practice than him, although Stephano was obviously more successful at his prime than either of those two. Good luck though!

I wonder how these games'll turn out. He's been off of programing for 99 days.

I don't keep up with the metagame, but did it shift in the time that he was gone?
