Naniwa's influence? I hope this talent bomb of a player will live up to his massive potential in Korea.

I don't think it's because of Naniwa he's doing this but I am excited we might actually get our show match eventually now.

Gl to Stephano! (Anyone know what he was/will study?)


So much fail... are you completely ignorant of the pro scene? Please don't shame Denmark any further...
How do it feel to know, that the only a*s you'll ever get in life, is when you hand slips through the toliet paper?

@Zergmeister: Stephano was going to study medicine or biology. Not really sure.

Well, we can't know that...
Maybe he saw Naniwa advancing to the Ro8 and thought "If he can do that, i can do better".

Anyways, it's all just speculation, i'm just happy that stephano stays a while longer and will continue to inspire foreigners to get better.

Still... i'm hoping for Stephano Code S Champion :p

You are correct. I don't know much about the guy but I am fairly certain that Naniwa's success played a large part in his decision.


I don't think naniwa's performances had anything to do with his decision. It would just make sense that he wants to compete with the very best exclusively considering he is already THE best in Europe, and performs quite well every time he faces code S quality Korean players in Lan events.
At this point it only makes sense that if he extends his career, he goes to play in Korea.

Haters will hate ... It's obviously a huge news for the whole foreign scene and deserves an article.

contestant and the first foreigner in some time to do it with infinitely harder competition i'd say that comment isn't exactly warranted.

enough about that though, i'm really glad stephano is still playing. at first i didn't really like him but he's a very talented player that can help develop zerg and show some incredible games.
