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. | ||

That's a rhetorical question. And you don't go to med school at 19; you first have to go to college and major Bio, then apply to med school. With the past controversy with Stephano such as blowing off tournaments he committed to it is obvious he is in e-sports for one thing - money. Which is not a bad thing but you can't have both aspirations for a grandiose career like a doctorate and play games all day for a living...reality check. As for EG, as many eluded to already, they have a habit for overpaying for talent just to have them fizzle out shortly afterward. But good luck Stephano and the team that recruits him. | ||

Since when is Stephano American? Your description of the path to medical school is ONLY true in the United States. Almost everywhere else in the world medical school begins as a part of what we Americans call our undergraduate career. I guess your time at a "top UC" didn't teach you to be less ignorant of other nations. You also don't have to major Bio at all to apply to medical school. In fact, the vast majority of medical students were NOT biology majors in undergrad. FYI. I am a medical student at a UC right now, so I'm pretty sure I know how these things work. | ||

No you wrong it don't work like that in most European countries. Stephano can go to the university and study medicin whenever he wish and BTW you sound incredible insulting and ignorant at the same time, quite a feat | ||

He is literally terrifying to stand near. Idk if its the french attitude, but if he joins EG I feel they may need to get him to be a bit more welcoming to fans. Just IMO | ||

You're missing the point. Instead you are focusing on smaller, less important, details: The point is he is 19 and currently plays video games all day. I don't care what nation you live in or what the standard practice is of obtaining a doctorate but I'm sure in France it is not dramatically less schooling than in the US (or they would have a ton of incompetent doctors). And as a medical student you should know that there is not much of a life out side of medicine as you begin to finish school and look for residency - playing endless hours of games and travel doesn't fall into that category. I doubt we'll see Stephano leave the scene as long as the money is coming in. FYI: I'm a 30 year old accounting consultant looking to be President right after I leave the accounting scene. | ||

If I remember correctly from one of his interview in french, he doesn't aim for a PhD, but for a nurse degree. At least here in Switzerland, that's much shorter studies (like 3-4 years) than to become a physician (which requires a doctorate). | ||

I doubt we'll see Stephano leave the scene as long as the money is coming in. FYI: I'm a 30 year old accounting consultant looking to be President right after I leave the accounting scene. First of all, Stephano usually only play a few hours per day(which almost every student, med student or not, have spare unless you're not smart enough or w/e the reason.) Secondly he's announced that he will quit esports for school, not try to do both and last his parents are behind him 'pressuring' him for school as well. I doubt he will postpone it for serveral years tbh.. And if you are going to run for President shouldn't you try to learn more about the rest of the world? Or will you just be one in the long line of great leaders you peepz have had before? Like Mr. Bush for example. x) | ||

I am not sure where you are from, but in Europe it is pretty custom to start medical school after high school. It's perfectly possible to go to med school at the age of 18. | ||

I don't know about France, but in countries around here, you go to med school at 18/19. We do not really have the institution of college. After you finish gymnasium (or other equivalent of high school, just with higher standards than high school) you directly go to university. Doctors attend the medical program for 6 years. | ||
