Gz to Stephano. best of luck.

Bear in mind that this figure is gross before taxes, and after he's done with SC2 he will have no education to fallback to for a good job. Hopefully it will work out for him, he's a good guy.

Starting with high school again when he is 25? And then university? He will finish when he's 35... Not going to happen. Better save as much money as possible now.

Why would he magically retake hs? He's already graduated from it...

Dumb move by Stephano imo... go to university ffs man.. You can still league and win cash prizes whilst studying.. Why join EG?

A couple months now and Stephano will be another Idra.. Never winning anything but with an ego big enough to still have a fanbase.

HuK, ThorZain... what do you think why they suck so much since they joined EG?


How does thorzain suck? lol. Huk dropped because he refuses to change his style. Every single time I watch him i swear to god he 2 base all ins, when everyone knows that is what you are going to do you are going to struggle a lot and it's shown. Now that 2 base timings have gotten figured out a lot if that's all you know how to do you are going to drop off the scene.



I'm pretty sure Huk has more diversity in his play than that, and even if that's true, I'm not sure that's why he's in a slump.

Shit.That is a lot of dough for Stephano.
96k a year is pretty damn good.

I guess he is the highest paid player in EG now?
Play your best

Maybe you should scroll some pages back and you will see that other foreign teams have a half roster of slumping players just like EG does.

Where do these ignorant bandwagoner people come from???

Ye, great for Stephano. What I'm looking for is if Stephano can maintain his prowess, or else this may end up a really poor investment.

Is he? That'd help. Still all Uni to go through. I'm just saying that this is good money (he's also most probably not paying for rent which helps), but it's money that he will earn for very few years. It's not a long term plan.

He's 19 years old right now, and you think hes going to spend six years playing Starcraft II for EG at the same salary only to abruptly attend highschool (again) and then attend university until age 35? Well, that IS a strange idea, I'm glad you thought this through so he can avoid it.

Edit: Forgot to mention how sooprized I am about this announcement.

Pretty sure 99+ % of people if given the option of going to college at 18 or making 150K for 1-3 years( not even counting the free housing, free food, apparel, travel around the world, overall ease of job while working from "home") would gladly make that kind of money and just go to college 1-3 years late. Most people don't make even 1/3 of that starting after college so....
