Why go to medical school Stephano? Just get EG to overpay you for 5 years and you've got yourself retirement at 24.

No offense to Stephano or any one of his fans, but IMO he is overpaid. He hasn't set foot into the GSL and Korean scene, which is where the future of Starcraft 2, read elephants, reside.

Unless EG is planning an assault on Korea via Team house. Then locking down Stephano now and sending him to korea makes this a nice move and the 100k worth it.

the world is larger thank korea, the SC2 scene will start moving mroe and more away from Korea, Korea only had the draw of having the best of the best but once more stephanos pop out then they have nothing

Ya. That must be why foreigners have won less and less tournaments the longer the game has been out, right? Every once in a while youll see a HuK/Mana style run in the GSL or some random Dreamhack win but otherwise it will be Koreans.

I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive.

The dreaded EG CURSE.


The dreaded curse that doesn't exist!


Idra used to be the best foreigner.
Huk used to be the best foreigner.
Thorzain used to be the best foreigner.

Stephano is the best foreigner......

it will shift eventually every country will have korean style teamhouses and people practicing as hard as koreans

besides EG doesnt care about Kroea that much since all there sponsors are in NA theyd want to focus much more over here that gets them mroe sponsors and they get more money from winning tournaments

Yes, running away from better competitors to beat up weak North Americans was the key to success to EG. But as more and more Koreans play the game and are allowed to travel even the easy stomping grounds of MLG are no longer so easy.

Not necessarily. Just depends on the standard of living you want to maintain.

Congrats Stephano. Not much of an EG fan but your inclusion might change that.

Dont tell that to an average American retiree then.

The average American retiree is 60+ years old, collects social security, has their house and car paid off, no longer has children to support, medical care paid for through retirement, and will only live for an average of 20 more years.

As opposed to a 19 yr old with ~60 years left in him, a family to possibly raise, cars and houses to buy, and himself to support without any supplemental income.

You're comparing apples to oranges buddy.

not even the Koreans want to play in Korea thats why so many jump ship to foreign team as soon as they can to go to the foreign tournaments to win more money and more fame
