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. 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.
That's ridiculous, you gotta have respect for progamers, and I will even say that some have to work very hard to get low results, but saying that "Being a progamer is way more difficult than most anything else you could do" is stupid, especially if you refer to Stephano who DOES NOT train 8 hours a day ( and even if he was, still more fun than working with your hands or dozens of other hard jobs ) and earns a bit less than 8k $ a month only in salary with possibilities to earn dozens of thousands thanks to pure and raw talent.
But I guess it couldn't last, the lack of training just catched up to Stephano, or for some reason he lost his powers ( for me it is clear that something has changed in his play, just like if something had clouded his fabulous decision making and his ability to take crazy engagements )
It is extremely painful for me to see him like that, I always thought Stephano would never be in a slump, because it just wasn't the way he is, but here we are, and I'm not giving up on him.
Are you ?

He has to play Snute in a ZvZ, if he wins he should be able to qualify but Taeja needs to win and Snute has to beat Fraer or TheStC, let's hope for some good news today.
|
Snute has to beat both Fraer and theStc, no ?
|
If Snute beat Fraer and theStC and Stephano wins against Snute, Stephano will qualify.
If Snute just beat Fraer or TheStC, there are several scenarios where Stephano will be in top 3 or 4th in his group.
Let's first wait the end of the match between Snute and TheStC.
|
Don't forget Snute can take the 3rd place too : /
|
Snute goes 2-0 against TheStC ! :D
Now, Stephano HAS ton win against Snute AND hope Snute doesn't get third or second.
|
We just need Taeja and Stephano to win against Snute by whatever score and he will qualify.

Damn... Snute is a beast.

Well, i don't understand, with so many lings, not a single hellion by Taeja.
|
One ZvZ to rule them all!
I have a feeling in my stomach that if Stephano makes it out of the group, he will do great after that. Go go go!
|
Taeja did the Job, it's now up to Stephano to qualify or not!
PS : Stephano lost almost all his games today, ladder and practice, ouch.
|
Snute just lost to TaeJa.
Everything is going... according to the plan !
Now it's all in your hand, Stephano. You just have to..win !

|
Great game 1. Stephano got this.
|

|
WHAT AN AMAZING COMEBACK!
the magician strikes again 
|
Come on, just go mass roach like Snute.

his game Vs snute are really strange, he doesnt make "great" descision like he usualy do. it's "almost" like he doesnt want to play.
