hmm not having a house to train at it is really bad for MC I think. Strategywise he makes some goofy decisions here and there and just training on his own won't help him I think.

Out of personal curiousity yes but I don't really think we need more e-drama. If they are pissed about it we'll just have a lot of raging posts, and if they are not there's not really that much more to discuss.

Unexpected... but not surprised. Deals like this make sense for older gamers who have serious commitments outside of gaming, such as wives and children, and would like to lead a more normal life while remaining a gamer (didn't MC get engaged or married last year? I'm sure he'd rather live with his woman). I just hope his skill doesn't deteriorate!

MC is 20 and I don't believe he's been dating his gf for that long.

Well good thing is he can beat Stephano any time anywhere and Stephano won like 80 last 3 mo. in Europe. Extrapolate that to a year is like 320K... See why it wasnt a bad move...

To all these nubs talking about how MC will now struggle to get practice partners you guys are crazy... Any pro player looking to practice against a solid Protoss player would jump at the opportunity to practice with MC because he's undeniably one of the top Protoss players in the world even on a bad month...

Aside from that, he's also a highly likeable person so he has tons of good friends in the SC2 pro scene who will still talk to him on bnet heaps, discuss strats with him and yes, practice...

Basically, you guys are delusional if you think great practice is going to be any problem whatsoever for the boss toss.

That is all.

Yes. Cases of those were talked about in this thread already.

Would anyone familiar with such matters care to write a very quick summary, please?

Now we just have to wait for all those jaws hitting the floor when people realize that Flash transitions to SC2 accordingly with the release of HOTS... waits.... waits.... oh wait 200,000$ a year? nvm he is better off sticking to pushing his Starcraft:Brood War-Barrel full of gold and primetime televised matches in the OSL/MSL/Shinhan Bank pro-league matches etc... not that he would have any competition in WOL/HOTS.....
