Think before you post. This should go without saying, there are so many people making absolutely idiotic comments in this thread. If you have nothing constructive to say, please don't say anything.

He did win the swedish WCS.

And we're supposed to consider that a MAJOR tournament win ?


You basically ask Thorzain to win an event when he hasn't attend one due to practice. How can he win one when he isn't in one? Let him get some time before you say anything. He did good in WCS Sweden which is the only event he has chosen to attend so far.

I don't think Stephano going to EG would surprise many people, it has been speculated for quite some time. Stephano has done well in tournaments and built up a good reputation as a strong zerg player and glad to see him be rewarded with a good salary for his hard work. That being said, I am sad that he will be leaving Millenium (I like seeing players stay loyal to their respective teams and re-sign) and not practicing in-house with TSL players. Good luck to Stephano, hope this was the right decision for him....

Well good move money wise, and that's the most important thing for Stephano. So EG sounds like the best bet, pleny of salary to get there.


Yeah, I don't know why people are hating. If you're truly a Stephano fanboy you should be happy for him.

Considering it had the best foreign players in it, yes I would.

But it hadn't. Only the best swedes.


Which are some of the best foreign players. Thorzain, Naniwa, Sase, Sortof, Morrow, Seiplo, Sjow. Not saying that it had some of the best foreign players is just ignorant.

if its eg, then i set my hope on stephano, well i had my hopes on thorzain too, for being immune to the eg curse. Hope he can break the rule to lose after joining eg by having other training routines in general.
Still always sad to see players i like disappear ^^, because they got too good and gobbled by eg to be never seen again.

Seemed like the most logical choice for Stephano because he said frequently he wants to milk as much money from SC2 before he retires, and EG offers that choice. I'm worried for his skill level because EG can end up lowering his skill level (well, only HuK was really affected by the switch to EG). Stephano is one of the few foreigners who can match to Koreans, so if he's gone, the foreign scene loses a huge part of their strength. Hopefully his skill does not decline in EG, and we still get to see his skill level.

P.S. What happens to the whole TSL-M partnership if Stephano is gone by September 1st? I thought a huge linchpin to the deal was Stephano, and if he's gone, TSL is left with Adelscott to train really. Is TSL going to allow Stephano to stay in the house and train even after joining EG? He seems to have a good relationship with TSL, and he spoke of staying beyond the two weeks in Korea.

Seriously? People in this thread is more biased than Hitler was vs jews, when it comes to EG. How can you take them for bad?

IdrA: Best player on the NA server, as well as a top tier player, capable of taking down people like MKP, NesTea, Genius and MMA.

Demuslim: Probably one of the best terrans outside korea. Another top player.

Thorzain: One of the best terrans outside korea, famous for beating down most of the koreans he have faced, as well as popularizing the mass orbital style,

HuK, THE best protoss outside korea, and experienced Code S player.



... I seriously don't get you guys. It's like the lemming effect all over again. None of you seems to display independent
thoughts, you just pick up the generel openion, whatever it may be, as long as it don't violate the korean players are the best!!111!!111!1-fanboy-syndrome.


I'd say you are kinda biased.

Wouldn't put for example demuslim anywhere near Kas.

They are not bad by any means but not top players.


'probably one of the best terrans outside of korea'

how can you deny thats true? name me 5 non korean terrans better then demuslim


Kas, Happy, Major, Illusion, Sjow, thorzain are the one that come to me right now, you can argue for him as being top 5 foreign terran but you can find 5 other players equally ore more skilled for that "top" any day of the week.


I would add BratoK and Naama there as well ...

Translation from Millenium

All stories come to an end, so does the one of Stephano and Millenium. After many years of this story during which Stephano has been fighting for Millenium as a War3 and SC2 progamer, Illyes Stephano Satouri will become the herald of a new team as of the end of September

Jean-Marc "Bjoran" Gaudin sur Stephano quitte Millenium

I am really sad to announce that Stephano will no longer be part of Millenium at the end of this month.

His contract wil lbe over on August 31st and many teams contacted him for the next season. Millenium's deal was not picked even if we made huge efforts to enhance his salary and pay for his travels and expenses.
It would not be serious for Millenium to match the offers Stephano received.

We spent 4 years together, while Stephano climbed the ladder of professionnal gaming from War3 to the gloabl top of SC2.
We wish him good luck.
(And hope this little ungrateful bastard will follow the path of idra and Huk... not sure if this part is an exact translation)


As a French player, I'm quite sad to see Stephano leaving the French team that enabled him to move that far in professional gaming.

Haha i liked the title [possibly to EG] Well the biggest chance is to EG. Mostly because i think Stephano liked the house and the way they handle their gaming environment. GL anyhow Stephano to whatever team you which to play for!

should always invest in a player who does good, when his race doesnt. so no, not a clever deal. big names cant make up for bad results forever, it doesnt work like that in sports.

You should take it up on liquidpedia too.

EG will probably have the worst Roster when it comes to Salary/Results. Puma, ThorZain are really mediocre since they joined EG. And IdrA, HuK and Demuslim are just terrible and can't win anything, even if there are no Koreans.

I believe it is a KESPA team.

Since he has never played in GSL or GSTL, it is possible for them to hire him and they have the money to pay awesome salaries.

Jaedong said he admires him !

Please just not EG.... Teams don't stop me cheering for players I like, but ThorZaIN was already something sad... Not Stephano...
