Good decision, he has no chance of winning in GSL anyway.

As much as I want him to do well in GSL he clearly doesn't have what it takes to succeed in that format. It will be interesting to see how he does in HotS now though.

So does anyone know if he's still going to play Code A or is this one of those wait and see things?

Well, he has never tried to hide the fact that he only cares about the $$$. It is the fans that makes him out to be the "foreigner hope".

Do we know for sure that he will get to keep his Code A spot? No grumpiness from GOM? They could just decide that there is someone else more worthy...

Good decision!

He should focus on tournaments he feels he can succeed well in.

He is a great talent but GSL is on a whole different level and if you don't prepare for each and every match you won't stand a chance which has been proven over and over again.

He did reasonably well in Korea, worse than I expected but definitly wasn't as bad as most other foreigners.
The main disappointment was his SPL performance, but I think something is off when the whole EGTL is doing crap there.

What? He performed better than Grubby only. IdrA did better, Jinro did better, Naniwa did better and MaNa did better if you take into consideration the fact that he actually qualified for Code S through Up&Downs.

It's not like he has any real chance of winning IEM anyway . Did you look at the list of Koreans here?

Only curiosity I have is if he'll be back in KR (pl / code a qualifiers) or back to hunting foreign tournaments.

Although that surely is dissappoiting for the majority of viewers, I support his decision. Stephano does very well in EU tournaments and that´s also the reason why he got popular in the first place. I was never sure if the GSL was the right place for him (not because of the skill level, but GSL is very restricted and boring in a sense and Stephano likes to be less restricted and shines with huge crowds that are cheering for him). Also, since he joined EG and the GSL decision, we haven´t had the chance seeing him in Europe too much, which I am sure about he misses a lot.

He should listen to his heart and where he feels comfortable. It´s his life, after all, he has to learn and respect his inner voice and not follow what other people want from him.

Most likely doesn't even lift. I'm not surprised. *french joke*

Sheesh.

or more realistically he will fall off the map entirely in hots like the rest of the patch zergs. stephano is the most overhyped foreigner to ever go to korea and it really exposed how flawed of a player he actually is.

He didn't do that bad, compared to the other EG-TLs.

I wasn't really talking about results, I was more on his performance in terms of game play.
IdrA and Jinro accomplishment were ages ago, so I wasn't comparing him to them. The game is too different back then.

MaNa, well, let's just say his Code S performance really turned me down.
Naniwa has done better than stephano, this one i agree.

Stephano did play really well for EGTL in SPL (not just result, but also his play was at least as solid as most other top zerg), he brought roach hydra against a terran.
Came back from a game that basically should have lost due to DTs.
Pretty good ZvZ performance for a few times.

that's why I think he did reasonably well. It's just I was expecting him to perform a bit better overall.

Huk's actually done very well in GSL on a couple of occasions, he just dropped off eventually. So did Idra. They have vastly better GSL pedigree than Stephano. His foreign successes eclipse theirs, though.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.
