anyway, i don't expect better than top 32-16 at IPL5 for Stephano

OR he sleep well tonight and crush every players tomorow after being seeded in the bracket with a lot of luck !

Possible No3: Sc2 is pretty boring, because of it he has no motivation to train.

I noticed that since he went to korea (around one week before he quitted millenium). All his following tournaments games looked very spiritless, (Lone Star Clash 2 and WCS EU, too). Apparently good enough against foreign and some korean player.

Or EG ruins his career, like they do of any player wich joins EG.

you may be right, but if he's bored by SC2 I fear for him when he starts working a more typical job, which will likely be vastly less interesting and require vastly more work; it will also pay him vastly less.

I fear for people like meggiroth and The_Darkness who have nothing better to do with their lives than go on some ¨fan club¨, to get angry at a 19 year old player they have probably never met,adn scream doom and Darkness whenever anything happens. I guess some people just weren't loved enough by their mother....

Not many jobs require even slightly more work than playing sc2 at his level, regardless of how much he says he practices.

In normal jobs you can actually afford to be mediocre. Something you really can't as an SC2 Progamer.

Stephano obviously still plays SCII because he enjoys it or has nothing better to do in his life. He can't be serious if he still does it for the money.
Stephano said he wanted to study medicine. If he really wanted he would have started by now as he has gained more than enough money to pay for the education. And from a financial perspective he is actually missing out on money for delaying his studies.
With serious work ethic you can be a chief physician in your early 40s which earns you more than half a million a year. And this is a safe job oppposed to progaming and you actually have time to enjoy your luxury instead of living in a flat with 5 to 10 other sweaty guys who sit in front of their pc for the whole day.

I don't even know who that is I'm just stating that for the given reasons Stephano is most likely still enjoying SCII quite a bit which should actually be nice for most of his fans.

I'm tired, sorry for being a dick. But I think you need to realize that people are motivated by plenty other factors than money. Also, France is not USA. Also, try to be less judgmental about how people choose to live their life.

That's generally true but weren't a lot of Stephano's decisions directly influenced by the amount of cash on the line (for example no participation in GSL) and hasn't he stated himself numerous times to be just in for the money?

From a financial aspect Stephano has achieved a magnificient amount relatively to for example the huge amount of korean B teamers who wouldn't even be able to make a living if their teams weren't feeding them. But further delaying his studies is (at least in the field he has shown interest for - medicine) actually hurting his finances. Medicine takes ages to study and every year of being a chief physician earns you big time money for basically the rest of your life.
If he however intends to study social work and education he should stay a progamer for a life time because the expected earnings are minuscule in comparison to what he is earning now.

obviously you're tired because he isn't saying he's playing sc2 for the money factor and at this point is likely playing sc2 because he enjoys playing it

He is not missing money by playing sc2. With his salary alone he should make 80000 plus. Combined with tournament winnings it`s likely to become much more, even if he isn`t as dominant as he used to be. Btw, I think that his worse results are not only because his play is less sharp, but also his opponents may feel less intimidated and thus are less prone to making errors.

You need to move away from your assumption that the medical field is a financially superior one. We're talking France here, and like very large parts of Europe the health care system is largely driven and funded by the government, hence doctors are not paid by private parties. I'm not in any away claiming that being educated in medicine yields bad funds, because it doesn't, but this is not the US. Doctors are not the highest paid workers in society, and even those who study for years end up making a mediocre pay.

If Stephano is in a slump or losing interest is hard to say, let's just hope he somehow get's back to the top soon

OR he sleep well tonight and crush every players tomorow after being seeded in the bracket with a lot of luck !

Possible No3: Sc2 is pretty boring, because of it he has no motivation to train.

I noticed that since he went to korea (around one week before he quitted millenium). All his following tournaments games looked very spiritless, (Lone Star Clash 2 and WCS EU, too). Apparently good enough against foreign and some korean player.


you may be right, but if he's bored by SC2 I fear for him when he starts working a more typical job, which will likely be vastly less interesting and require vastly more work; it will also pay him vastly less.

Not many jobs require even slightly more work than playing sc2 at his level, regardless of how much he says he practices.


What are you talking about? He doesn't practice any where near 40 hours a week. Any job in the professional sector where you make six figures to start would require you to work 50-70 hours a week, minimum. If he wants to be a part time UPS delivery man he can put in 20 hours a week and be done with it. If he wants to be a nurse, or whatever, he need to put in presumably 40 hours a week, which is way more than he currently does.

In normal jobs you can actually afford to be mediocre. Something you really can't as an SC2 Progamer.

Stephano obviously still plays SCII because he enjoys it or has nothing better to do in his life. He can't be serious if he still does it for the money.
Stephano said he wanted to study medicine. If he really wanted he would have started by now as he has gained more than enough money to pay for the education. And from a financial perspective he is actually missing out on money for delaying his studies.
With serious work ethic you can be a chief physician in your early 40s which earns you more than half a million a year. And this is a safe job oppposed to progaming and you actually have time to enjoy your luxury instead of living in a flat with 5 to 10 other sweaty guys who sit in front of their pc for the whole day.

May I call you Master Judge?

I don't even know who that is I'm just stating that for the given reasons Stephano is most likely still enjoying SCII quite a bit which should actually be nice for most of his fans.

I'm tired, sorry for being a dick. But I think you need to realize that people are motivated by plenty other factors than money. Also, France is not USA. Also, try to be less judgmental about how people choose to live their life.

That's generally true but weren't a lot of Stephano's decisions directly influenced by the amount of cash on the line (for example no participation in GSL) and hasn't he stated himself numerous times to be just in for the money?

From a financial aspect Stephano has achieved a magnificient amount relatively to for example the huge amount of korean B teamers who wouldn't even be able to make a living if their teams weren't feeding them. But further delaying his studies is (at least in the field he has shown interest for - medicine) actually hurting his finances. Medicine takes ages to study and every year of being a chief physician earns you big time money for basically the rest of your life.
If he however intends to study social work and education he should stay a progamer for a life time because the expected earnings are minuscule in comparison to what he is earning now.


Stephano wants to be a nurse, so he's earning at present way more than he can realistically ever hope to make (even if you took into account inflation).So I agree that he should stick with it. Even if he wanted to become a doctor, in the US at least, the best you can hope to make as a general practioner is 120K-200K. If you're a specialist you can expect a 5-7 year residency after 4 years of medical school (with medical school costs being between 40-60K, including living expenses); after all of that you clear maybe 250K-350K at best. If you have your own practice and are very successful then you can clear maybe $1,000,000 a year. But the number of doctors clearing that much (or around that much) is very, very small. He's much better off, even if he wanted to be a doctor, simply focusing on SCII until he's clearly no longer that good at it and trying to maximize his earnings now. Assuming Stephano wanted to be a doctor, he would have to endure, as a resident, 60-80 hour weeks for however long his program was -- somewhere between 4 and 7 years depending on the specialty. Unless you have a burning desire to help people, becoming a doctor is not worth the time and effort. If you're really smart you can earn way more money working at a large law firm or in finance.

It seems some people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept of the US system not being universal. He's french, why would he study and practice medicine in the US?

lol silly goose, next time read the part that say "regardless of how much he says he practices." Also you can't just sink a bunch of time into something and call it hard work. Being a progamer is way more difficult than most anything else you could do.
