He has been averaging about 2 games per day for the past week-2 weeks on his Dream account, so I'm not sure what he's up to. He may be playing a smurf on the side though, I hope he is atleast.

Oh Stephano.. dont hide ur games from ur fans ... At least we wont believe again in this crap "I play 3 hours a day..."... We all know we might be training for himself, hiding from everyone.
He surely is not on Korea to party, given the fact it`s a month and he`s staying in a training house

Llewelys said on millenium's stream (during MSI Procup RO16) that Stephano was kinda bored in Korea and was eager to go back to europe, but that was like a week ago, maybe he isnt bored anymore.

I don't know if he's bored due to people / country in Korea but it seems to me he should be bored by Korean way of playing sc2 .. Last stream rage quit, unable to deal with most of bomber strats. On EU server, his lack of scouting is not a problem because he's really a very good micro/macro player, perhaps the best except in Korea. If you don't know what your opponent is doing, and be prepared, you're dead because Korean are not very good, but the best in micro/macro. He has to improve scouting for decision making .. That's only my opinion ^^

I took the liberty to translate it, enjoy.
+ Show Spoiler +Bonjour à tous,
Les fêtes de fin d'années battent leur plein et l'heure est venue pour moi de faire un petit bilan de l'année qui vient de s'écouler, ainsi que de mes projets à venir.
Durant les premiers mois de 2011, mes résultats ont en quelques sortes confirmé mon niveau de jeu, comprendre par là qu'il n'y'avait rien d'exceptionnel et que pour moi à ce moment précis j'avais atteint une sorte de palier. J'étais assez satisfait de mes performances, sans pour autant espérer plus.
Je ne songeais pas du tout à prendre une année pour me consacrer à Starcraft 2.Mes études me prenaient vraiment trop de temps et surtout je ne me voyais pas gagner aussi bien ma vie sur un jeu vidéo. Il a fallu attendre le début de l'été pour que je commence à sérieusement envisager cette possibilité.
Ma performance à la HomeStory Cup 3 et surtout mon TOP 3 à la Lan Assembly ont vraiment été des éléments déclencheurs dans ma décision. J'ai réalisé à ce moment – là que je pouvais encore grandir en terme de qualité et jeu et aller me confronter aux plus grands. C'est d'ailleurs dans cette optique que j'ai tenté ma chance aux qualifications pour les IPL 3, sans vraiment trop y croire.
Les remporter était déjà pour moi quelque chose d'énorme, je ne m'attendais vraiment pas à gagner le tournoi entier quelques semaines plus tard. Après avoir remporté l'ESWC, j'ai commencé à penser à la Corée et à tout ce que ce pays pouvait m'apporter. Ce voyage m'a démontré que j'avais encore beaucoup à apprendre et que c'est vraiment l'endroit où il faut être si l'on veut vraiment s'améliorer.
À quelques jours de mon retour en France, le bilan est cependant plutôt mitigé : je pense avoir vraiment appris. J'ai pu constater les limites de mon jeu et par la suite pallier à ses défauts.
Le rythme d'entrainement en revanche ne me convient pas du tout. Le fait de passer à dix heures de jeu par jour m'a vraiment épuisé, c'est beaucoup trop. J'aime avoir mes activités en dehors du jeu et je pense que quelque part ce rythme peut nuire à ma progression sur le long terme, dans le sens où je ne progresse qu'en appréciant de jouer. Actuellement ce n'est plus trop le cas.
Mon retour en France se profile à l'horizon et j'ai vraiment hâte de retrouver mes proches .pour ce qui est de la suite des évènements j'avoue ne pas encore avoir pris une réelle décision. Mes derniers résultats ne sont pas vraiment mauvais, vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux à me suivre sur mon stream et je pense pouvoir encore progresser dans les mois à venir. Les prochains évènements seront probablement déterminants dans ma décision finale, la route est encore longue et je compte vraiment faire mon possible pour remporter le plus de compétitions possible.
Pour finir, je tiens à remercier toutes les personnes qui me suivent au quotidien, j'espère ne pas vous décevoir dans les events à venir.
Bonnes fêtes à tous,
Hi all,
The holidays are in full swing and it's time for me to do a little review of the past year and my future projects.
During the first months of 2011, my results confirmed in some ways my level of play, meaning that there was nothing special for me at that time and I had reached a sort of ceiling. I was pretty satisfied with my performance, without hope for more.
I was not thinking at all to take a year to devote myself to Starcraft 2. My studies were taking me a lot of time and I wasn't seeing myself making a career of a video game. It was not until the early summer that I began to seriously consider this possibility.
My performance at the HomeStory Cup 3 and especially my TOP 3 in the Assembly Lan were really triggers in my decision. I realized at that moment that I could still grow in quality of play and compete against the best players. It is in this regard that I tried to qualify for the IPL 3, without really much faith.
The win for me was already something big [in the Qualifier #3], I really did not expect to win the whole tournament a few weeks later. After winning the ESWC, I began to think of Korea and what a trip in the country could bring me. This trip showed me that I still had much to learn and it's really the place to be if you really want to improve.
A few days before my return to France, the results are rather mixed : I think I really learned. I was able to see the limits of my game and then fix some shortcomings.
The pace of training, however, does not suit me at all. Playing ten hours per day was really exhausting, it's too much. I like having my activities outside the game and I think that this rate can hurt my progress in the long term, in the sense that I'm improving when I actually enjoy playing. Currently it's not the case.
My return to France is coming and I can't wait to see my family. For the future, I haven't made a real decision. My final results are not really bad, you are an increasing number of people to follow me on my stream and I think I can still make progress in the upcoming months. The next event will probably be decisive in my final decision, the road is still long and I will really do my best to win as many competitions as possible.
Finally, I want to thank all those who follow me every day, I hope not to disappoint you in future events.
Happy Holidays to all,
[M]Stephano
