He does all sorts of cheesy aggressive builds as well as safe and greedy macro builds. He uses all unit compositions and extracts every diverse method or zerg attacks (baneling mines, nydus, it harass, drops). No one even comes close to him in terms of variety. Well there is Suhoshin (Line) >_> He's Leenock but minus the quality substance underneath. | ||

Thats why he couldn't commit to Korea before, but now im assuming hes done and is finally going to Korea? Not sure where you heard that from, but stephano hasn't been in school since he turned pro. Guess it's from the same rumour mill that people still thought polt went to school, when he took a break from that a long time ago as well. The only reason stephano hasn't done GSL yet is because it's not as cost effective when it comes to making money. It's a long tournament and it's harder to make money there, than it is at foreign tournaments. He does what makes him the most money and not what gives him the best competition. He's not necessarily wrong in that because you do need to make as much money as you can being a pro gamer since it has a limited career shelf life. The only reason he's going to play in GSL now is because there are no foreign tournaments to play in until they start back up again in march, etc. Even if he makes it far or keeps his code S, he will just forfeit the next GSL so he can go to all the foreign tournaments again. This GSL is a one shot deal for stephano and no matter how well he does, I don't see him playing in another GSL this year. | ||

Stephano has been so up and down recently, and hasn't really been showing consistent Code S level play I feel. Even if Stephano's ZvZ is subpar, Zerg players such as sniper/hyun would never take the chance of picking another Zerg in their group if they could pick a terran/protoss instead. | ||

Really? Sniper's ZvT isn't as great as his ZvZ and ZvP, and HyuN is pretty comfortable in ZvZ (defeated Stephano 3-1 and Scarlett 3-0 in MSI Pro Cup Worldwide, though it was an online tournament). Why not pick on a rather weak ZvZ'er, who is known as a weak preparer? | ||
