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.

It does make sense for Stephano, as he will make safer money in the next years. On the other hand, this guaranteed money will kill his hunger and decrease the motivation to win further tourneys. More time for drinks yo. I personally will hate it when he joins EG, cuz in the past not one player improved after joining EG and that is bad trademark for a team.
keep it deep! @zulison

Ofc..he stated several billion times he wants to milk out as much money from this game as possible before he retires. Didn't know money became "a bad thing" all of a sudden. I bet u if any other team would have made the same offer u would scream tears of happiness.
U MAD BRO?

Why does everyone have a problem with EG? They seem to take really good care of their players...

Because they are hypocritical shady manipulative organization with a lot of money to buy everyone.

Umm they are not hypocritical in the least. I'd LOVE for you to show examples of this hypocritical manipulative behavior. And who cares if they have money. At least some of the pros are getting a good salary. Frick. Should we leave them living in a box to satisfy you and no one ever transfers? Grow the heck up.

Sad Day for French esport scene.

GL Steph!


How is it sad when a Frenchman will be payed atleast 50 times better then what mill offered him and also offer him all he needs to travel anywhere and represent your country as a Frenchman in any competition he desires and improve his play doing so?

Seriously some of u have issues sry to say this.

You are exaggerating his paycheck by a lot...
And he could travel anywhere he wanted with millenium anyways,
I seriously doubt he could improve his play with EG more than he could if he stayed in TSL house.

Pretty much. Nothing wrong with that as a person to be honest. As a player... well you know.

Player with his talents should set his eyes on Korea, but from what I hear from Naniwa's interviews it's a crappy place to live for a foreigner.

Naniwa is not exactly the person i would ask this.
He sounds more paranoid then anything else how all koreans are out to get him and stuff.

Yes 50 times was an obvious sarcastic exageration, but as of what we know he plays for money..the fact he would choose EG means they had "that" money.

As for skill..whoever said he will improve his gameplay with EG? anyone who listened to Stephano's interviews knows very well his unorthodox way of training...

..and as for travles and expenses, the mill articles point out pretty well that they couldn't match the EG offer in any of those.

I'm not happy with this decision at all. I really would like for him to go to someone other than EG. Money talks though.

This is expected but its bitter sweet for me I always thought it was cool that Stephano was only going to play for another year so i guess its surprising in the sense that I didn't expect him to resign with a team.

Huh ? Best offer is subjective. If his choice won't make him grow as a player, i don't see why people would keep rooting for him as a player.

i would just like to know how much he really earns. (as a fact, not as all rumors that spread)

is it 4 figures a MONTH?
6 figures a YEAR?

just would like to know how big esports in these terms really is.

My interest in this game drops off more and more, things like this just accelerate that. No rivalries, no smack talk, EG buying any and all foreigners who have a chance of doing well in GSL. I miss early 2011, I really do, the game is so fucking boring right now.

Not sure how that's worked out for him but there you go.


Not very successful. He prematurely left a few matches during the recent ASUS ROG.

It's a capitalistic setting we're talking about here. For his skill and ability to produce results, the best offer is the best contract.

I can just reverse the argument and say that his staying at Mill isn't as good as a training environment offered at EG. Joining EG could open a lot more doors for Stephano. Even with the "shoddy" performances by EG players, they have far better results than Mill players (excluding Stephano).

Exactly. Players will go where the money is for the most part. Can you blame them? It is their profession...

Really interested to know where you picked up the phrase "lets not kid or selfs". Hilarious, do people really just type what they think they hear others say?
