I will be sad too, but it's his choice, he rather to ensure his long term futur.
In addition, he won't play full time and travel asmuch as now, but it's don't means that he WON'T play at all. I'm we will see him again, even after next september.

I would really like to see atleast 5 more years of Stephano. Education is very important. Esport to risky atm. I agree with this decision even though ill be very sad when he stops. I agree, but the thing is that Stephano is SICK good at this game, arguably the best foreigner -at least to me- at the moment, if he was a player that earned less money from progaming I would totally understand his decision, but he's the best, and he's still very young, 1 more year wouldn't really hurt his studies, considering his age (I've been to med school as a French student myself, you see people much older than him in the first year), so yeah it's kinda sad to see him wanting to leave so early, he could dominate the foreign scene for 1 more year in my opinion (which is a good source of income without any long term risk regarding his studies)
I also agree on that statement.
First year in med school doesn't require a lot of background from earlier studies imo. It's more based on how much you can learn in a short amount of time. So even if he forget what he learned in highschool, it won't matter that much.
If he still has that sc2 momentum in june, it could be a good choice to take another year for esport and fame. It will delay his non-gaming career by a year but i don't think it will hurt him that much.

Stephano is a BEAST! Congratz on the win! Continue your progaming career and postpone your studies until later plz

Stephano stopping SC to do something totally mundane like being a doctor or some shit, is absolutely retarded. This is well more than 1 in a million talent. There are MILLIONS of doctors. There is 1 Stephano. Anyone telling him to quit and study, no disrespect to his family or anything, is really shallow. You have something like this in life, you take it and you keep it. You don't quit so your dad can brag about how his son is a doctor.
Also, the keys for making Roaches is SR... unless he meant making the Roach Warren building, which is BR...
anyone know if that is what he really meant?

Has Stephano stated this? Are we going to see him at online cups still?

I heard his manager speaking of it lately. Not Stephano btw. It's a semi stated guess from me

BR is how you tell a drone to make a roach warren.
Your right about the doctor thing... doctors are just mechanics for people parts, god love them, but college is a pretty sweet experience in its own right.
I don't see why they need to be mutually exclusive, but I do understand making education the priority... he's clearly a smart person, but still young and has lots to learn. Perhaps once he gets settled at a University he could continue to play while studying.
Otherwise, 2013 - The Return of Stephano :D It'll be sweet!

LOL people are actually getting angry at Stephano for quitting. wtf??? who are you guys? let him do what he wants ffs. I kinda agree with him. Progaming is good but except in korea its not a longterm career and you can fall really fast ! Look at those players who win one tournament and then just play average. It's just a game is how stephano sees it. just get over it.

its great to be passionate about video games, but perhaps Stephano has additional passions... not all doctors become doctors because their parents told them to, or because they want to make a lot of money. Lets face it, being a pro-gamer is not a long term career, at best he'll last to the age of 40 or so (white-ra)... but the retirement age is far beyond 40... i support stephano in his decision to go to school even if it means we lose one of the best foreign zergs ever.

this comment is retarded. Not Stephano's decision on becoming a doctor. Give me a break.
How is being good at a computer game better than helping people and saving lives? u must have some weird priorities....

People here are just too dumb to "get it".
It`s not about getting more money. OF COURSE being a doctor would give more money than being a pro-player (in general), but what if the person likes the excitement to play tournaments? the feeling of pure adrenaline, the fear of losing to someone due to competition, the fame, the winning parte, the odds to win by doing something very diffrent?
Im sure white-ra is a pro-gamer not because of money, but he simply LIKES it and enjoys his whole life.
Let me tell u a story between Grubby and Creo.
For those who dont know Warcraft 3, Grubby used to be the best player of the western world (which means the same can be applied to Stephano nowadays), and once, during his prime of the game, he said he would quit. He didnt, because he loved the game.
Creo, a misterious guy who were in the same team as Grubby, was also getting a lot of fame and playing really good. He managed to win WCG (beating the best players in the world, like Moon and Grubby) and simply stopped playing, at the age of 20 or something. He said he would only win a major tournament (like WCG, probably the biggest one in WC3) and stop playing. He did that. But at what cost? Now he`s a computer scientist, working for some company in Norway. Sure, I bet he likes his job a lot, but I DOUBT he is happier than winning a WCG or playing WC3L finals against Lucifer, Moon, Susiria and getting paid by 4K. Now imagine how much more money Creo would get after the WCG, but the guy simpled stopped playing just because he wouldn`t like to delay his "real career"..
I still think Stephano is doing a stupid decision. He is in the prime of his life, and myself, being at the same age as him, envy a lot the fact he`s a pro-gamer and he`s doing something he likes. And yea, I do go to college, but I honestly prefer the adrenaline of playing then studying Calculus so later my boss can kick my ass.
Sorry guys, its simple not a good decision at all. I would agree if he went to college when he`s like 22, 24 years old, but 19, 20? Come on, the kid has a lot of talent, he`ll be able to make a lot of money. And not to mention the pure adrenaline of playing, which is, at least for me, something that we need to consider (it seems that you are thinking "one side" only).
Maybe i am getting of my chest by telling u guys this, sry about my horrible english, but anyway, people saying Stephano is being smart is actually the opposite. Maybe I just dont like the mundane people.
I just compare Grubby to Creo, and I probably see that Grubby made a wiser choice than Creo... Even though I agree with TotalBiscuit that is better for someone to do college and then invest in his own hobbies and stuff like that, but clearly that worked out perfectly for TB, but I do not think it would be a good idea for Stephano, at least in the point where he is now (as a beast), or Grubby..

I dont want to bring your hopes down but if Stephano attends first year of medical school next year he will no longer be playing at all.
The first year is the most demanding studies you can find in the french school system.

Agreed, sitting on your ass playing a video game is a much more fulfilling and productive use of time and life compared to being a doctor.

I never understood people with this mentality. Do you actually care if your life is "productive"? Frankly, I don't even know what that word implies. You would think that people care more about how enjoyable their life is rather than how... productive it is (still don't know what the fuck that means).
However, I don't agree with the notion that his decision to quit progaming is stupid; It's completely rational.
