That was actually a really good interview. Its not normally you see Stephano in the serious role

Sign me up. Stephano has been my primary inspiration as a relatively new Starcraft II player.

You don't get to decide that 
Besides, you don't have to respond to me. Just ignore the criticism when it offends your fanboyism.

I don't think you understand what whining is. Saying that I think Stephano's play has declined is very different from whining about his play. It's an observation. I don't make excuses for Stephano when he loses. I think about causes.

Haha great question at the end. Basically scoffed at the idea of playing games in 5 years time :D
I could honestly see him retiring when Heart of the Swarm comes out or shortly thereafter.

I know generalization is bad, but you sound so American. Lets use IdrA as an example. Constantly doing deep, wise-sounding analysis over gameplay with no real results/solid footing to back his statements up. When you ask players like Stephano, or even Flash for that matter, they're really straightforward and don't hide behind their transparent knowledge - they just play and learn the game.
For example, when Flash was asked about the balance of the game, his answer went as follows: "Zerg is strongest, Protoss is second and Terran is weakest." I imagine Idra would've had a long, thought out analytical answer, but he's not even in the position to make these statements.
Do you see what I'm saying? Your analysis is inaccurate, as are your predictions. You make yourself sound smart, when you're actually not in the position to say these things. I know it sounds like a pre-adolescent thing to say, but in this case, it stands true: show me your results before criticizing others, especially players like Stephano.

Basically, you say "I'm a troll, my goal is to make some fanboy rage". As i dont see myself as a fanboy, it's more likely to make me smile / laugh, but tbh, it's just annoying to read big post when their is nothing inside, just again and again the same unbased (or wrongly based) analysis . If it was Idra FC, i would understand, but just realize that this is the FC of someone who started his carrer by saying that he's here only for the money, and will stop playing a soon as he start loosing.
You can deduce that he actually still thing he's wining enough to continue to play.
Just enjoy the time left with stephano playing this game. It will stop one day, and it will be too soon..

I actually somehow agree with Azarkon, I didn't feel like Stephano was in a slump in his results but he shown some unknown weakness in his playstyle, however I never felt like it was a big concern but more the results of him going to party and drinking too much all the time. And about the different style he shown yesterday, he actually played a lot with muta for a time, however it was more the 2 base mutalisk than of 3 base.

Hes does not practice as much, him and nerchio only plays a few hours every day.
And he was not able to practice barely anything 2 weeks before NASL finals

Regardless of whether he is really practicing or not, when it comes to ZvP.. HE GETS IT.

What? I am not the biggest Stephano fan, but to say that Stephano is in a slump?
You realize that if Stephano wins his match tomorrow is he the second highest earner as of 2012. Not among foreigners but among all SC2 players. So from winning tournaments perspective his results are better then players such as, Squirtle, MKP, MMA, Symbol, Violet, Alive, Hero and MC in 2012. How the fuck do you call this being in a slump?
There is no other foreigner even close to his record, he gets top 8 in every tournament he enters and usually even farther most of the time. The only player on this planet that has more consistent results in 2012 is DRG, which most likely is the best player in the world. To be honest I dont think it is wrong to say that Stephano is top 5 SC2 player in the world. I know he does not participate in GSL and that is a big deal, but that is only one out of 7-8 major tournaments out there, and in everything else he has insane results.
Guess what, everyone does not want to live in Korea, and if you are interested in earning money GSL is an over all bad idea. It takes a lot of time, and prevent players from participating in many tournaments. Naniwa for example focus on GSL, got top 8 twice and have potential for winning imo, but still if you do not get to the final I think it is a loss for Naniwa from a economic point of view. Hence Naniwa is only 19 highest earning foreigner in 2012. He have skipped plenty of major tournaments to participate in GSL, it is hard as hell and top 8 is only like 2500$ which is not that much considering a season takes about 2 months.
So if you are interested in earning money = Stephano, is not participating GSL probably smart ^^
Okay I wont feed the troll anymore, some people seems to take pride in being retarded and make public display out of it.

A fanclub is a place for discussing a player. There's no other place to do it on TL. Sorry, but I'm going to continue posting what I think about Stephano here. Actually a fan club is the following:
fan club n 1. an organized group of admirers of a particular pop singer, film star, etc. be a member of someone's fan club Informal to approve of someone strongly So you have to admire or approve of him strongly to post here.

he's awesome guys don't get me wrong. he's the best foreigner and one of the best in the world, but he has been playing games for so many years and I think he practices like 3-5 hours at least per day (on average). to reach this level he must have been playing like 8-10 hours for a year or two at least. but he's gifted as well, and he is intelligent anyone can see that if you take caution at his moves in-game & real-time.
