Such as? Please cite me one of those tournaments where this happened if you're not talking out of your ***.
I can attest that he's not lying, there are plenty of moments where both Zhu and Lucky have lost to lower level players at small, local tournaments (where the results are not as important as they would be at a national).
Some losses include Alex19, DEHF, MacD, Eddie Mexico, Light (very good peach from AZ), S2J, Lovage, Fly Amanita (before he was known for his amazing showings at WGF and DGDTJ), and myself.
Not to say any of these players didn't deserve their win, they are extremely good players that don't get enough credit, but just letting you know Stev isn't making stuff up. It is also a pretty well accepted opinion that Lucky and Zhu are both a level ahead of the rest of these players (except maybe Fly now?) and there would not be a lot of debate there.
But everyone's catching up =) S2J also had good results at DGDTJ

Anyone who thinks Mango sandbagged at Genesis is full of it (talking to you KFC! lol! we stood next to each other how did we get different perceptions of the match lol) or they are just trolling. Also that was the best set of Melee I have ever seen in my life. Armada definitely shocked all of the US that tournament, not only going through a brutal bracket but also losing the first match of many sets and figuring them out by game 3.
I still believe Mango is by far the best in the world and given enough games he could figure everybody out and consistently 3 stock them. Nobody adapts to Mango, only the other way around, and he does it faster than anyone else.
