Most of the time, I try to convince myself that the game iS Perfect so that I don’t Start a game thinking that I will lose because I’m playing against a Protoss player. Is this a little dig at IdrA? lololololol edit: Nice interview as well. I hope he continues to play SC2 after the year, but I would totally understand if he put education first. | ||

I think he wants to become a physician, and in france in absolutely impossible to play part time during the first year of medical school, which is right after high school. You have a very competitive exam at the end of this first year, and if you don't work full time on this you stand absolutely no chance. It's going to be hard enough to do it after a 1 year break. So basically he is going to have to make a choice, if he wants to be physician or enter one of the best universities in france he will have to stop playing sc2 for at least 1 or 2 years. | ||

Creolophus is the player you are talking about. He went to the top and he quit. Even more interesting was the fact that, 3 months (not sure how accurate that is) after he was officially retired, he attended WCG because he had the right to and he won it, over the Chinese player Sky. Creo was very talanted and a lot of people were really surprised that he indeed just quit the game at his peak and never came back. | ||

I think that I’M starting to understand how Blizzard sees things. Zergs are staying too much on T2 mixes in my opinion; the Infestor nerf will weaken mixes based on Roaches/Zerlings/Infestor in the long term; and allow a better transition to T3 units with the Ultralisk buff, Which will come out a lot faster.

Such an elegant way to explain, unlike "apologize for playing this race" | ||

Actually I don't care if he goes and gets owned either way the drama is awesome! Well he can't be THE truth, because we all know that that title belongs to paul pierce. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zChLTB58Jn0/TljvrNV7_JI/AAAAAAAACMo/AIArbSfqM_Q/s1600/paul-pierce-fly-low-nba-funny-photos.jpg.jpg But ya people are saying he doesn't know what he wants, I hope they are right and he plays for a couple more years at least. | ||

In my opinion, the biggest problem in the game is the Sentry which allows Protoss players to be almost unattackable on many maps like Xel Naga which has with three little paths to attack, Shattered Temple and Metalopolis which has one entrance for 3 bases once they’ve walled B3, etc. I don’t know how to modify the Sentry but they have to find a way even though it’s true that without this unit Protoss players will get owned very early in the game. And about the battle.net, I don’t care, players are used to it! This statement its something that really makes you understand how a guy with 3 hours of "practice" ( if u can call ladder, practice ) can win major tournaments and play so well and strong. He is just SMART. | ||

This guy got talent no doubt, and best thing he is still so young. Yep, which is why it's a shame he's not going to Korea. | ||

This right here is what makes champions. Instead of complaining all day about how hard it is he just assumes his skill will let him pull through. Man Stephano is awesome such a great mindset | ||
