Great article though, explaining how he spent some time in various countries like Lebanon and Australia while growing up. Also the reasons why he won't be staying at the EG Lair, and his plans for the future. Stephano must consider the article accurate because he tweeted it himself.
yea agree

So Stephano is playing on Khaldor's laptop?

Why doesn't EG have a secretary or admin assistant that can help its players organize this sort of thing, and if they do, what the hell is he or she doing? I undertstand that the players also need to take some responsbility for this, but the fact Stephano has to play on some lousy laptop when he goes to Korea to train makes it seems, from my vantage point, like it's amateur hour at EG.

Cool and as always, thanks for the info.
Are you or anyone else watching his streaming session? He's 8-0 today. After watching him play yesterday I was about to write an "Ararkon-esque" post fretting about a slip in the level of his play, notwithstanding the computer issues, but he seems to be tearing it up now. (I can't watch because I'm at work). Is he still having FPS issues?

8-1 now not bad either, since he is playing some big names behind those GM barcodes for sure.
can't believe that the No #1 SC2 Pro outside of Korea, No #4 of the world on sc2earnings.com with ~ 190.000 $ in price money doesn't own at least a stupidly fucking good laptop to have something to train / stream on if he is on tour.
i don't get it. must be something like "the technology isn't there yet".

Yes he's playing well but still lagging, it's especially bad when he has lots of zerglings

Looks like that the FPS issue is bigger than yesterday and it makes absolutely no sense to get a new pc if he only stays for ~2 weeks in korea.

I wouldn't buy a fucking good laptop if I only stay for ~2 weeeks in korea. One little laggy pc for free is much better.

It's not like it's anything to do with EG... they set up all their players, do they not? Being sponsored by Intel, SteelSeries, Kingston and Sapphire could help anyone build a desktop.
Stephano's PC is en route, but newsflash - setting up in Korea doesn't happen overnight. It's not like he could just use some other players' PC, they're not in a game house.

Who is the person behind Stephano?

Apollo is currently casting stephano's games..
from the twitch tv chat....
#1 chatcaster!

Why wasn't the laptop with Stephano when he got to Korea?
I find it extraordinarily hard to believe that Stephano cannot get set up with a portable laptop that he could bring with him wherever he travels and that can handle streaming without significant FPS issues. EG, since it is a premier e-sports organization, must have a tremendous amount of knowledge about what sort of specs you would need for such a laptop, what sort of carrying case to buy, etc., so that what is currently happening doesn't happen?
Perhaps they've told Stephano what he should buy and Stephano is too cheap to do so; then the blame rests partly with him. But to the extent EG is setting Stephano up in a house for his trip to Korea, why wouldn't someone there call ahead to see what sort of technology set up they have, etc. so that this can be avoided. Esports teams (and Stephano as well) just seem very disorganized and low level; perhaps they just don't have the funding to get good help, they're understaffed, etc. (which are all good excuses). Perhaps EG gains no benefit from Stephano streaming at all (which seem extremely unlikely to be true since Stephano's fame is increased by streaming and EG benefits from indirectly from that, else they wouldn't have signed him), so they're say "Fuck it -- Ilyes, you're a big boy. Figure it out". If that's their stance, that's silly, since he is their biggest investment. They need to take facilitating his training, achieving greater fame, etc. extremely seriously. These sort of constant issues with Stephano's internet set up imply it's amateur hour. No doubt Stephano is not helping the situation, but someone needs to baby sit Stephano then to make sure he's got an appropriate set up, if he's not able or willing to do this himself.

Stephano has just lost the last two games, and then complained in chat about FPS issues so it is certainly still an issue. He is now down to 77% win rate for today (over 13 games), so is still doing well overall. I have not seen all the games but have seen him beat Choya and Losira today.

Stephano confirmed that he will not play in the next GSL because of ESWC, maybe another time!

The thing with his computer is getting embarrassing. It's like a graphic designer working with mouse... seriously? Laptop for sc2 costs around 1k Euro. He can get it. So some kind of weird things are going on... it's just unprofessional.

It was really hard this time to prepare anything, since Stephano went to Korea earlier than what he said to me. I'm not a part of EG but usually i work on every little things like that and everything goes fine(was the case for every Korea trip he made before).
About the computer i said to Stephano : ask for it. I think he just didn't before, He needs a good computer. Not only for streaming. He missed a lot of stuff (NASL for example) because of that and i think EG just saw that and made the move. I don't think EG is understaffed, it's just a lack of communication. They have everything Stephano needs but if he doesn't ask for it, nothing will happen, it's obvious.
As i said earlier i have solutions for him. Even on a laptop like that, he can stream (maybe replace Xsplit by OBS for higher ingame FPS, disable some services & stuff). But again it's up to Stephano : ). I'm just waiting for him.
I will try to do my best for you guys ( with Stephano) and fix what i can with what i have. Thanks for your support, it means a lot for him, hope to see you next stream, with higher FPS :p !

Some folks are just getting frustrated because they want their Stephano fix, but they will be fine in a few days once this has been sorted out.
Anyway, thanks for continuing to help out Stephano, moderating the chat must be even more arduous currently.

1. Buy a 2k $ alienware laptop (i'm sure he can afford it)
2. Train like a beast on a beastly laptop (high-end laptops nowadays offer the same and even more performance in some cases than the best desktop setups)
3. ?????
4. Profit!
