I don't think so. He is most renowned for his play during beta, and during the initial stages of WoL.. but really, after that he was never that good. To paraphrase what other pros have said about him, as good as he is mechanically, he has very little creativity in his play, and as a result of that is very rigid when facing unusual builds. Even among the foreign players, hes nowhere in the league of a Stephano, or a Naniwa, and I'd would rate him lower than several other foreign zergs, such as Ret, Dimaga, or Nerchio. This is all apart from his horrible attitude.

Granted, stephano has been doing a decent job holding back forgg: it was during that key terran timing where they can batter down onto zerg non stop with 3/3 and 3 bases running, and stephano does not even have infestation pit or even a hive. That one megaexplosion pretty much won him the game on the spot.
I thought so too. It looked like Stephano was going to be steamrolled. Sadly I think he will be steamrolled by MVP
