Does team EG not have a manager or something??? You watch Interviews with Stephano and Huk and they both say they don't give a crap, are bored of the game, dont want to practice or play the game at all. I'm sorry but if i were paying these guys that amount of money i'd be pretty pissed after seeing them talk like that in interviews. I know they're all kids and probably don't know any better and never learned a work ethic but damn if i talked like that about my job and drug my ass all day i'd be unemployed.
Yesterday's losses are hard to swallow, maybe even for Stephano himself. All three vs Zerg, all three vs players approximately of his caliber. If we are to expect more big tournament wins from him, this ZvZ weakness has to stop!
GL in Iron Squid, it won't be easy!
Oh, i see that he still has a chance in MSI Pro Cup Worldwide - he has a deciding match vs ForGG.

No, they haven't said anything close to that.
English isn't my first language but i'm not retarded, when a guy says he's not really into the game and that maybe he'll start practicing again in 2013 i'd be pretty angry having given them a contract.
My main problem with Stephano is that i don`t think that he "deserves" any major tournament win in the future from now on.
I am pretty much a competitive guy by myself and i do believe that success comes from working really really hard and so can`t really stand the sight of anyone wanting to "get" anything without working for it.
Hard work will beat talent. Maybe not from the beginning but in the end you will always see the hard working guy on top of everyone.
Don`t get me wrong. I am still part of this fan club.

Well, he actually practiced a lot in Korea(I think) but he hasn't done that recently so that's why he is losing games. I think he has lost a little bit motivation because if you look at his victories then you can see he has won a lot of major tournaments so he probably doesn't want to play much.

Vortix, Scarlett and Bly are nowhere near Stephano in his prime...those guys are pretty much the definition of patchzergs(well not Scarlett, but she hasn't won a single major, so you can't compare her to someone like Stephano).

True. But is he in his prime now? No. Current form is what matters in any given tournament and the current form of his ZvZ leaves a lot to be desired. And even then - i said "approximately".

And I agree with oxyg3n's post. There was a tournament a couple weeks back where stephano played 8 games or so and I couldn't find them anywhere, it's really frustrating to want to watch someone play but not being able to. I also have no idea when stephano will be playing next, I only knew of todays matches because I randomly clicked a stream on twitch. I check the stephano schedule on liquipedia but it didn't mention anything about the IEM qualifier.
So his next event is Iron Squid group right? And what about Homestory cup and Numerical whatever tournament. Can anyone give any details about those events and whether or not stephano is participating? Thanks, sorry for the rant post.
Stephano is due to play in the MSI Pro Cup Worldwide Tournament today. He is up against ForGG to see who progresses.
He has Iron Squid 2 but not sure when this will be on. I think they broadcast on Wednesday and Sundays, I don't think his Group is playing this Wednesday so maybe next Sunday.
He is going to go to Homestory Cup later on this month.

I don't speak French or Polish, but I think the Stephano - ForGG games were having lag issues, so they will be played in a little bit. I have no idea when though. The whole tournament is very frustrating to follow without any communications in English.
