nice first post teamliquid writers. ;-) or is that the default?

great interviews. surprised leenock said what he will do, but like motbob said, he may just be throwing his opponents off their game if they read this interview.

Don't know who's more cut and dry: Nani or Steph.

Cold hearted mother fuckers.


Because they have the guts to say what they think? If anything i think you are weak-hearted. I don't know what kind of climate you want to have but if it would be all sweet talk and everyone being perfectly nice against eachother and never say what they really think then that would just be boring and phony.

Besides you didn't include IdrA on that list of yours.......... BIAS!

What the hell Stephano. I am actually glad that you got knocked out now... you just lost a fan : (


Nor should he. He comes to a house, knows no one, have no idea about the customs or how things are done and is to play one in the team in a week. It's completely unreasonable and stupid to believe they wouldn't share bits of his strategies to a close friend and team mate that they've lived with for over a year. Not to screw Stephano over but to help MC. I know I would in a second.

Like the above comment written by someone else. To answer that question with that same meaning, just saying "No, I do not want a possibility of sharing my replays" but saying "I don't really trust Koreans" is the whole different thing especially on an interview.

Chill, man.

It's ludicrous to read racial animus into such innocent statements being spoken in a second language. He clearly only meant to communicate the former thought, which you've already admitted is a reasonable one to hold.

Stephano: "I'm unimpressed by MVP's play..."

and then subsequently loses to MVP embarrassingly.

You're reading too much in to the wording from someone doing an interview in a language he isn't fluent in. It's not a secret he's struggling to express himself in English. You don't need much imagination to know what he means.

edit: also, misquoting someone to further your point is a dick move.

^ It's ironic that Stephono would limit his practice time for fear of his replays leaking out, but he'd then turn around and stream a ton of ladder practice on the Korean ladder (It helped MVP to see those streamed games, so I'd bet Stephano was using his real strategies on Ladder).

Anyways, I really like this sort of thing to take place in tournaments. Do you think we can expect more press conferances/interviews during an event?

He didn't stream for the last few days though. Knowing someones general style and preferred builds in certain match-ups is much different from knowing what or if they have prepared for a specific game on a specific map against a specific opponent.

Interesting that Stephano does not trust the Korean players as relates to replay sharing... Have there been instances in the past that support this idea?

i really dont understand why stephano would quit

The guy has an open spot in Med school waiting for him, it would be kinda dumb for him to turn that down in favor of something as volatile as Starcraft.


It's not the way it works for med school in France, you don't get a "spot". You start "med school" right after high school, anyone can register but you have a really hard competitive exam at the end of the first year (1 of 10 succeeds or something like that).
The longer he waits the harder it will get, but given his competitive nature it shouldn't be a problem to get into medschool.
I actually that it's a really smart thing to do, he can enjoy his time as a progamer 100% , doesn't have to worry about his future and will be able to get a job he likes (not everybody wants to become a commentator / manager etc).

Great interview by the way, nice to see that Nestea decided to not talk anymore of the "pausing incident" :p.

I'm in similar spot - med school, passed my first year and unless I was winning everything while studying, there is no way I'd try to go full time and drop out of school, some people are really bad at making lifetime decisions and Stephano isn't one of them, kudos to him!
I will never ever play Mech against Protoss. - MVP

I think its totally reasonable in this world you cant trust anyone especially strangers when you are playing for 50k. Grow up.

And stoping to support Stephano for this ridiculous reason, is kinda lame, imo.

Stephano doesn't care if you support him or not anyway, he only cares about money
