I love how he's so confident and has no problem saying he can beat anybody. Such a positive mindset

"There is absolutely no fun in playing Starcraft 2 anymore, the only thing that's fun is to win." Can't see Stephano being around that much longer. Probably won't see anything of Stephano in HotS.

I don't think most pros have "fun" playing starcraft. they just want to and have to win.

Overall a good interview although there are some major weak points in my opinion:

1) Stephano gets harder and harder to understand. After 20 minutes he switches into some french english mumbling.

2) The interviewer asks like a thousand really specific and in my opinion uninteresting questions about foreigners but he fails to ask some critical questions with non-obvious answers.:

E.G: Stephano says he just plays for money and at the same time that he doesn't practice. Why and I'm asking that myself for months is nobody asking him:" WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT PRACTICING IF YOU WANT TO WIN MONEY????"
On WCS Finals there was a 100 fucking K on the line. Why doesn't he practice to cash in on that. What is he doing if he's not practicing? He's a fulltime progamer. Why is he not practicing for fuckin sake?

3) To many questions about far too few topics. No questions whatsoever about:

1) How he's feeling with EG as a new team. Advantages/Disadvantages, atmosphere/mood, whether his recent decline in skill is related to the switch or not, the 12 year old abuse etc.

2) What's he planning on doing afterwards

3) Anything about the "Starcraft is dying" Story and what he thinks about LoL and Dota, etc.

4) his thoughts on HOTS obviously, balance and unit design choices etc.

How come there is no time to ask any of these questions in a 45 minute interview?

It's just a job for most pros, which makes it sad.

That's just sad, I wouldn't play at all if it were only for money. Doesn't he want to go to med school or sth?

Blizzard is not at fault here, playing the same game, no matter how good it is, everyday for several hours on the same maps is boring as fuck. It's a job and jobs eventually get boring at some point.

The state of the game is terrible and the game is kinda figured out. What did you expect?
@To AbideWithMe :
Stephano doesn't play HotS he can't talk about balance and stuff. o_o

To be fair, you cannot survive without money in today's society, and not every progamer has the opportunities that Stephano has by playing in top-tier tournaments. Passion and loving the job is important, but you have to make money at least.

I can't believe he called out patch Zergs at all. I guess when you're a true pioneer you might notice the people who benefit from you.

If you are going to go to work in a field with little money in it.. the three things that will make a difference for you will be Money, Money and Money.

Did he address why he is practicing so little these days?

I wish I were playing a race too which allowed me the luxury of not taking risks.
