I was at WCS.fr last week and since the competition was kinda slow, I had the chance to sit for a while with Stephano for quite a long talk ( we had to do it in two parts though as it's hard to keep him too long) It's in French but with subtitles (sorry about the eventual tumors), I hope you guys enjoy it! Part 1 Part 2 Thank you for watching  Original link on aAa.eu you can follow me on twitter @ClemLeLfe LeLfe | ||

Well, speaking in French allows him to be less stereotypical because of two things I think : 1/ he masters way more the subtleties of this language, and 2/ he is less forced to embody his role-play character when he is into the French scene. EDIT : If I was allowed to post in French, my posts would have been better too :p | ||

I don't have the time needed to rework the phrasing or write down all errors I noticed, but if you have the time LeLfe, really, ask someone to proof it again :s It'd be a shame to keep so many errors in an interview of this quality, they are really rare. | ||

Having said that it's disappointing he doesn't seem to have a "passion" for the game like Naniwa. It seems, for him, it's essentially "I can make some money, travel... I'll do it for a bit, why not". Not blaming him for it whatsoever, it's a completely reasonable way to think but, as a fan, I wish he had more fire for the game. Michael Jordan is an easy example. I wouldn't want to be friends with him but he was a good player to be a fan of as he let nothing come between him and being the best. | ||

I like the frankness of both the interviewer and the interviewee. There's lots of interviews out there where players dicuss the game, but it's great to learn a bit more about their true personalities and how they view their career. I wish I had been able to have a chat with him at the NASL! | ||

Im sure michael was like , well i guess im good at it, ill do it anyway. Might be the same for stephano. | ||

Someone throws something at him, and he says that that guy is dumb. It just happens to be while he's talking about Idra. Good interview. Translation is fine for the most part. | ||

@nouar I only subtitled the 2nd part and corrected the 1st (don't have much time either to be honnest) I do think there are few approximations to have idioms/ readable sentences, but I didn't see any mistranslations, can still pm me if needed @kevin_sorbo he doesn't say it about idra but about one of his friend who threw something at him | ||

He also started playing baseball in honor of his father. Seriously... the stuff people spew on these forums... | ||

It will be a sad day when he quits. It just happens that you need far less practice at SC2 than what you need at BW. I still respect Flash and Jaedong more because the game they play(ed) is far more demanding and harder to master. And no, i'm not a hardcore BW fan, i barely played the game and didn't watched that many pro-games, but i know enough to weight the difference between the two games. EDIT : HOLY SHIT SORRY I AM TIRED AND I JUST STARTED ANOTHER INSTANCE OF BW vs SC2 BY MISTAKE. IGNORE THIS AND GO ON WITH YOU DAY. | ||

He's still a favorite but not a *real* favorite in the bonjwa sense of the word, like flash was, and plus it's a different and easier game. If he wins every tournament he enters this year including the GSL then your opinion will become valid. | ||

I think his image is kind of bullshit, though... I'm not ready to believe he (doesn't) practice the way he says. Although if he is that good naturally, I don't know if I would respect the idea of a player not practicing and winning everything more than someone who's naturally talented AND plays all day every day to win. I think we can gain more as people from learning from those who earn things from really really hard work. | ||

He is seen as on even footing with even the very, very best Koreans, there is basically no one that you could say: "Well, that guy is the clear favorite over Stephano". This alone makes him (the only) foreign Bonjwa  ... As for the real thing.. Time will tell. | ||

My reading of Stephano's answers is that he is likely to move to EG when his current contract expires. I suspect his bargaining position will be even stronger by then. | ||

Time will tell.To posters above you: And if you watched the games you would see despite him winning he was having sloppy plays and lack of practice showed even in his ZvP. Which is worrying because if this tournament consisted of top terrans and zergs it could look different. I agree he can win vs any protoss with or without practice with even making lack of practice mistakes (no 4th, late gas, mineral flood, sometimes sloppy injects while in roach agression mode) but in terms of ZvT it always looked different for him. Comparing him to Flash and Jaedong is completely out of place. And im saying that as his fan. | ||

i dont really understand why everibody says after this itw that he will go to EG. I believe it's a mistake in the subtitle because i heard it in french, and he just speak about EG house. I mean he's expression in french and his attitude don't match with the fact that everybody says on this topic "after seeing this itw, it's sure he will join EG"  | ||

As far as I'm concerned, his will to move is not "that" obvious in what he says but he surely values EG highly, we'll have to wait till september anyway, it's still any big team's game! | ||

Indeed you are right in some part, but we don't just feel/understand the same thing when we listen to stephano's answers. Point of vue i guess .... ;D | ||

Since the only one inducing there might be an issue with the understanding the subs give is part of M, i guess it's ok | ||

Now I can practice the latter and listen to talk about SC at at the same time. But, most importantly, I'm convinced that interviews get more depth without a language barrier, even if it's a small one. Stephano's English is good, but witticisms and precision of expression do get lost if one's not speaking their mother tongue. | ||
