No he doesn't study it yet.

Stephano for Zerg Napoleon
|
I didn't think this would happen so soon, but in any event that's awesome. Let's see if we can have a foreigner win GSL.
|
I don't think he should go next season but wait till the season after, because he needs time to practice and really monster that ladder imo
|
Looking forward to watching him play!

What he says is pretty understandable, Idra doesn't show any hunger for winning any more. Sry if it hurts your little fanboy's heart but it's true ... It is still stupid to make assumptions. How people act and feel are very different. You should bear that in mind when you try to judge a person. (And resorting to mild insults at the end of your point does not make you clever, and it certainly doesn't help your argument.) It's no assumption, he's already made clear that he hates the game and has no passion for it. And when I say this I don't mean the way he acts but actually his own words. And besides that his attitudes towards the community is just awful.

This is great for eSports! In my opinion, Stephano is easily the best foreigner right now. Nani is definitely up there too though I haven't seen his play recently.

All this "Stephano best foreigner stuff" makes me laugh. I'd like to point out that at MLG winter championship he lost in the open bracket to polt. Next round sheth took out polt 2-0. In the loser bracket Stephano lost to Inori who then lost to Idra in the next round. Its a stretch to call him the best foreign zerg, so please cut it out with this nonsense. Stephano hasnt won an MLG or a Dreamhack, easily to two biggest foreign tournaments.

WeaponX.7 seems to think that victories are transitive.

I just think its stupid how fast Stephano fan boys forget his losses or lackluster tournament performances.

Didn't he just beat Polt before that 3-1 to win the LoneStar Clash? He also 2-0'd Inori at the NASL S3 qualifier in February. I mean, at the level that Polt and Stephano play at, anyone can have a good day / bad day and over or under perform.

He's good, but I think zerg is having such a hard time in korea atm, that I just don't see him doing well.

Then by that measure, there are no great players in SC2, only good players.
NesTea, MC, MVP, MKP, among numerous others (every progamer?) have all had rough patches where they didn't perform well for several tournaments or a few months.

The point that I am trying to make is not that, "stephano is bad", the point im trying to make is that he isnt the "next zerg bonjwa" like was being said a few months ago. And this stupidity of trying to call him the best foreigner when there isnt any hard evidence to support that. There are several other foreigners who deserve to be put ahead of him. He hasnt won a really big tournament and beyond that he really hasn't beaten any top tier koreans, (correct me if im wrong) I believe polt is the best korean he has played. Its just these fanboys that go on and on about stephano, this thread comes up and people think he's going to win code s.... come on. He probably wont get out of the first round.

At IPL, he beat bomber, curious, and jyp and took a game off nestea and mkp. He only lost to MMA, MKP, and Nestea, who are all top 10 koreans. He also recently 2-0'd zenio and 3-0'd puma.

Ok so all the code S players he lost to.
|
So, next season Flash vs Stephano, whos better?
|
Dude did stephano bully you when you were little or something like that? Some people think he is the best foreigner at the moment, because he shows good results and plays superb. A lot of people think so, you don't need to be a fanboy to think that. ...Actually, I think you just want attention. Guess it's working out huh
