How is this good news. Good heavens man, give Protoss a chance !
BTW, did Stephano have contract negotiations ? I always thought that Stephano said he was going to quit after a year so he could leverage a better contract. Especially since he made the satement right after his last contract was signed after some out of the box negotiation tactics on Stephano's part.

Why would he pretend? He wanted to let his fans and others know that there was a possibility of him quitting in the near future, its the nice thing to say when you are popular atleast. Lol @ comparing the two players anyways, combat isnt even a professional player.
all im saying is when stephano first started apearing he kept saying how he didnt care about starcraft and barely practiced
then we learned he practices pretty hard
and now hes extending his "break" for another year
in a year, hell either do the same thing or jsut pretend he didnt say hed quit in a year
I don't think he lied about how much he practices unless you know his smurfs where he plays his extra games.

Probably the best player out of Korea (well my opinion doesnt mean much, but I guess Nestea's does), who's confirming he's going to keep playing Starcraft 2, yeah, thats so freaking little news it shouldnt get a thread... Idiot seriously

What are you trying to say? I doubt he would lie about wanting to quit starcraft for a real career. He is having too much fun and making too much money to just quit now.

It started with him practicing for 3-4 hours a day then everyone took it way out of context, assuming he did it all the time. Before he started getting really good he was only playing 3-4 hours a day but whenever he had major tournaments coming up he stated that he practices 5-6 or up to 8/9 hours a day for them. However the silly fanboys kept going "OMG only 3 hours practice and raping top Koreans OMG". (Don't get mad anyone as i love Stephano, i just hate it when people act like retards)

He had little practice time and not by choice, simply because he was finishing highschool and didnt have the success as a pro gamer that would have made him practice like crazy. Why do people say dumb things when the player actually mentioned that yes, he is now training very hard, we didnt "learn" it, he said it, it's not like he's acting like "I never play, i'm just that good". If you wanna give him shit for false statements, you should actually keep track of what the guy said instead of picking from the little informations you had on the subject, and post about it on TL

He never said he practices on average 8+ hours besides that look at his profile to see how many games he has played.And even while he was in kr just before the blizzard cup he said in the gom interview he practiced 4-5 hours/day for it.
As i said unless he lies about not using smurfs he doesnt play much.
Great news! I just want to see Stephanos full potential. Not holding back, going to Korea, pwning some noobs, the best against the best. Can't wait to see him compete in GSL
