Pretty sure he won't quit in a year. This is the guy who signed a contract with Complexity, then changed his mind the day of the announcement. He'll be around for a while. | ||

Players like Happy, Demuslim, BratOk and too a lesser extent nerchio (in terms of high winrate) dont seem too perform as good as there winrate's say. | ||

Mass lings on ladder have another bonus, you win by lagging 20% of the people there. (higher in lower leagues lower in higher ones xD). But mass ling also got better since terrans forgot about the +2 armor.I am not to serious here, lings are bad uncontrolled, but with a good control they are evil (and still a bit below marine control, but thats the melee unit bonus.) Is there any place I can watch the w ay Stephano uses lings? :3 Link please. | ||

Some guys in Europe weren't crazy enough to stay up till 5AM to watch everything. Some don't know where Stephano stranded. I don't see any reason to come here when you know Stephano was with the last 4 or 8 Even seeing this topic suddenly be bumped and on top of the threads all the time probably means he won. Just read through the last 10 pages of this thread, it's hilarious with all the hater reactions "he hasn't proved anything, so therefore he can't possibly be good, you suck at judging skill" | ||

The EU grandmaster ladder is no joke, and no matter how much you want to qualify the run by saying it is only ladder; a 64-2 run at the top of the EU ladder is very impressive. Whether this will translate into results is up in the air of course, but that's a very dominating performance. Totally agree. I mean you see people like White-Ra have some loss streak when laddering, but going almost 60 games without loss means he knows every build out there. He wont be surprised by cheese or anything. You could see that in IPL as well, he would adapt to anything. I think he is another breed of player we havent seen before, the way he plays seems different. | ||

I bet he was very sad to say that... | ||

Almost everything he's doing is smart, his decisionmaking is reliable and he is aware of the dynamics of the game. I think it was HD who also said how smart Stephano is. | ||

He had one of the best zerg control i've seen even before he started to play full time and now that he is training like a madmen i can't imagine what tricks he will reveal to the zergs | ||

I'm even pretty sure you don't have to (except if you take lectures outside). But Anyway I think he will see how it is going before deciding quiting progaming (you can't really plan on doing sth else on the first year of med), it's not like his high school knowledges will be of any use for the med school. | ||

Just read through the last 10 pages of this thread, it's hilarious with all the hater reactions "he hasn't proved anything, so therefore he can't possibly be good, you suck at judging skill" His ladder run really didn't prove much anything. I doubt anyone argued that because he hadn't proved anything, therefore he couldn't possibly be good. It is such a dumb argument that only someone who thought his ladder run proved everything could come up with it. Anyway, now that Stephano won a tournament and proved that he indeed is very good, it shouldn't be a surprise that a lot of people are not claiming the opposite. I mean, he did what they required him to do. I don't see a problem. | ||

I remember the homestory cup, where he still was very unknown and now wins a major tourney... Im not surprised he's a student of medicine. Dunno where you heard that but he definitely not started only 6 months ago. | ||

I hope he isn't. He's much better off going to med school than playing SC2 | ||
