Spoiler warning.
Also; Shameless theft from Milkis warning: This has been shamelessly stolen from Milkis twitter and tumblr. All credit for translation and location goes to him.



“He defeated the Kimchi Terrans… It’s the first time I’ve felt this way…;”

“I guess Idra’s era is over now. Bye bye!”

“While Idra plays like Korean Zergs that piles up resources and fights by turning the tides, Stephano really plays like Zerg. Never has over 500 minerals and always takes Hatcheries, and afterwards constantly engages while getting army, drones, and going up the Tech Tree. Even when he plays 40~50 minutes against Protoss, I don’t get bored at all and I think it’s more interesting actually because he comes up with surprising tactics. I think through this tournament Stephano had provided both entertainment and a good record”

“Wow Stephano is so good, he’s a Kimchiman killer”

“Foreigners like Stephano rising is even better for the Koreans. There needs to be a rivalry for there to be any value in this entire thing, and if Korea just takes everything the entire scene becomes boring”

“In two months, Stephano and Nestea-God are fated to meet. 2011 Blizzard Cup!”

“Ooh! Europe Zerg! Ooh! I know that Europeans are proud of their players, and I think they’ll get really proud from this.”

“To be honest I couldn’t even understand Stephano’s play. I just watched and suddenly Stephano is winning.”

“man it’d be really amusing if Stephano retires here. He’ll just go “I’m retiring as of this tournament. I will never forget.” And later on he’ll do an interview in the future going “Koreans? They weren’t anything special”“

“Look at the foreigners cheering for Stephano lol, they’re cheering as if they’ve found their savior”

“But honestly shouldn’t you guys recognize if they beat a kimchiman on a mirror match? Foreigners are usually weak when it comes to physical or build optimization, and they make a huge difference in mirror match ups. If Stephano is this good, he definitely won’t be a pushover in Korea”

“Stephano’s skill right now…. it’s over the level of Nestea. Perfect defense and completely understanding the situation and decision making… I don’t know about the other games, but if we just judge it from this match, he’s the best. (Stephano vs stC)”

“Is he kidding me he says Protoss is the strongest race? lololololol Stephano you should go play Protoss lolololol”





Add more to the thread if you have them ^^

That doesn't make complete sense, all Koreans eat kimchi.
Maybe because Kimchi is cheap and Terran is cheap?

Thanks for the crosspost Probe1 although I had already read it. Did you read Milkis' disclaimer thingy by the way?

No, Kimchimen is a reference to korean, not terran.

Kimchi terran = korean terran.

I think it's okay for Korean's to call themselvs "kimchiman" even though they knew it's a slur against their ethnicity.

still, it's pretty cool that they support "the one"
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Edit2: I should probably not sound like a total dick. I would rather people who would otherwise have missed it read this stuff and enjoy than respect Milkis disclaimer. If he is offended by the thread and wishes to open his own it will be no issue for him to close this one and open his own. I couldn't very well make a thread with a link to his without the OP being extremely weak and felt it was alright to copy and paste with credit.

Obviously if he does not approve I apologize and the thread will be immediately closed :\
Until then, just try to enjoy nice things? :3

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't IdrA called them "kimchiman" (Zenio was one of them) on ladder. And I thought it stuck from there.
