Now on topic, i really hope this works well por redeye, he's good at what he does. If we go on with skill comparison (which is pretty darn stupid anyways) we should not compare skill with players from the past or former skill of players but instead compare their skill right now which obviously makes snute stronger than stephano IS RIGHT NOW (my point here) Edit: In my opinion the competition also grew stronger which makes it even harder to compare those players | ||

If you'd go with your suggestion, then whatever amateur boxer you find on a gym would be better than muhammad ali.. So i think the most "objective" would be to compare both players when they were at their peak. And i think that stephano had a higher "peak" than Snute (at the moment, Snute can of course still get better). But yeah, as you said, making a comparison is a hard thing to do because there are a lot of situations that can lead up to certain results, however i didn't tought people said snute was this good, maybe I'm not giving him enough credit.

Right now, Snute proably, but overall, i still think Stephano was better. It is going to be a long time I think before anyone touches Stephano. The way he came out, winning two big tournaments and defeating tons of good foreigners and 5 solid Koreans including MKP (when MKP was in his prime) is pretty amazing. And then of course he followed that up with more stellar performances like his win at NASL Season 3, going throug Hero, MC and Alicia. Would have been an amazing career for even a Korean, easily the top performing foreigner. | ||

Seeing him move to gfinity is real interesting. I agree. I've also thoroughly enjoyed his guide to being a broadcaster. He brings a lot of knowledge to their broadcast team and I can't help but think competition to put on the best (professional) "show" is a good thing for all. | ||

I think this impression of higher peak comes from the insane number of tournaments in 2012(dead game?^^), the lack of "good" koreans going overseas(compared to now) and the lost memory of the zerg era. If stephano was the best foreigner in 2012 and naniwa in 2013, snute was in 2014 and, hopefully will be the best of the best 2015 too. | ||
