We don't need to imagine.

It happened. Stephano beat everyone.

Maybe LOTV might not be suited to Stephano well. It could happen that even with training he will not be ever good again. Look at HuK. There was a time where he was really good and now he is bad because game changed so much and his style is impacted by it. Same could happen to Stephano.


Huk's not bad, he just has no results. He's still a good player, and easily one of the best NA players.


No results? Were you born yesterday?

Yeah winning an MLG chock full of Code S Koreans and going through them like a hot knife thru butter is definitely no results. We're talking about beating MC, MKP and July (among others) in their prime for SC2.

You must be trolling.


They're talking about LotV HuK, yo.

Besides MKP hadn't hit his peak at that point, MC was horrid at PvP. Honestly from what I saw the biggest challenge for HuK that MLG was STC

MC was horrid at PvP


MC used to be known as one of if not the absolute best pvp player in the world and PvP has still statistically been his best matchup. I don't know how you can say such a thing. He's also the highest earning player of all time in sc2 (from tournament winnings) so his absolute skill level is not in question.

Well MC was by far the best 4gate vs 4gate player in the world. Not even close - his unit controll was much better than anyone else at the time. I cant remember who he faced btw on that map the famous MVP vs Squirtle-vortex happend, it was GSL (like quarters or something) and he fended off a 4-gate with a 2-gate on pure unit control.

Clearly you haven't seen WoL MC PvP. It was easily his weakest matchup at the time and I am pretty sure PvZ has statistically been his best?

I have seen it.

TLPD stats for WOL show MC winning 1.24 PvZ's for every loss.

Meanwhile he won 1.64 PvP's for every loss. Clearly a much stronger matchup!

I'm pretty shocked to see people who thought that MC was bad at WOL PvP. My memories were the opposite and the stats back it up, he was a pvp monster back then

You're incredibly incorrect. Check his stats- his best matchup till 2013 was PvP. MC excelled in the aggresive microfest that PvP was before it became standardized.

So it's confirmed to not be:
IdrA, ThorzaiN, Stephano

Then we thought likely not to be:
VortiX, LucifroN, others

Now it's looking more and more like it's actually:
VortiX and LucifroN

Since when does stomping foreigners translate into "absolute skill"?

InCa once made it to a GSL finals, I guess that makes him one of the top 50 skilled players of all time?

I really hope it is not VortiX or LucifroN, that would mean the end of the TL Heroes team.
