I have not been that impressed with Stephano. The only real notable player he has played in the tournament is Uthermal and he lost. He beat Time in group stage 3 but I'm not sold on him either so yea. I hope Stephano does great but this match against Special is his first real challenge of the tournament.

He only beat Time, because he had troubles with Jetlag, afaik.
So that doesn t even count

It would be an amazing story but I just don't see it happening. Even in the best case scenario Stephano would have to beat the winner of Reynor vs Elazer, both of whom I would put in the Top 5 ZvZ in the world atm, while Stephano barely defeated JonSnow and Denver. If Heromarine, Neeb or Time managed to upset Serral though he might have a decent shot in the finals.

If Heromarine, Neeb, or TIME get to the finals, they've almost certainly proven that their vZ is on fire and thus should stomp Stephano.


Stephano has already beaten TIME without much troubles, Special is more dangerous because he is very good with mech.

Seriously I think Stephano is the only one that can take the crown form Serral or at least compete for it. He's the only one that quite consistently beat Koreans and actually won tournaments. No one else really has the right mindset for doing it, they are too afraid .



Oh boy, I totally agree with that! But you just misspelled the name: It's R E Y N O R, not Stephano...

If Stephano beats Special AND Reynor, my jaw will be on the floor, but I don't think that's at all likely. This is my ranking for each player's likeliness to win this tournament:

1. Serral (duh)
2. Reynor (duh)
3. Special
4. Neeb
5. TIME
6. Elazer
7. Stephano
8. Heromarine

Skill-wise, I think Heromarine is slightly stronger than current-form Stephano, but Heromarine's facing the god today, so he takes last place in the list.

I don't know, I'm really interested in a Neeb/Serral rematch in the ro4 if they both get there of course to see how Neeb holds up post patch of infestors.

I wonder if any zerg will today, but to be fair, Reynor looked sharp as a knife vs Elazer...

Stephano playing full time or he's still studying? If he comes back he has a huge potential.
