Also to the people that are like "smart, education is always better than that silly stuff"... That heavily depends on what you wanna do with your life.

That people posting something like this on this site exist is pretty ironic. But it must be written in the 1o1 book of trolling as it can trigger quiet funny reactions.

Nooooo Stephano =(

He should just go get his education and stay on EG as a start figure while playing casually. Or maybe retire temporarily while he gets his education, and then come back afterwards if there is still room for him in the scene (that way he'll be able to get a solid job after he "retires" 2nd time from esports.

But man, he was seriously my favorite player to watch in tournaments and on stream. I'll be so sad to see him go =\

Stephano is one of the most mature players in SC2 scene, it will be sad to see him go when the day comes. I wish him all the best for whatever he decides to do

I'm sad to hear that Stephano says he is in his last 6 months of StarCraft II. It is for the best though. Good luck to Stephano.

Thanks for this documentary! It's great!

It's almost like you don't realize he said he doesn't enjoy progaming in SC2 now. He would only be continuing it for money or fame, how is that better than pursuing other passions that can make him successful and happy long term?

-Education always trumps any video game "career"
No one actually known the future of esports. It would be bad to be left hanging in 5 years.

What i read

-Education always trumps any silly dream.
No one actually knows how your silly dreams end. It´s silly to not obey to the society.

Now read my response again then tell me if i´m talking about steph.

Sounds like he, as many of us do, hate the social side (stigma?) associated with (the) Starcraft (scene). That's completely understandable, and a really legitimate concern for any 20 year old.

Shows he really was brilliant picking up on his innovating strategies so quickly, talent that comes that naturally is incredibly year. Leaving now will probably solidify his place as the greatest foreigner of the game, and he already did his fans a service by delaying his entrance to school by a year. He'll be leaving behind a great legacy

Good, I think it's best for him to just leave the game now and go back to school. Good luck, Stephano !!!

i call rubbish on this retirement, Stephano barely practices, which shows a lack of work ethic. If he thinks hes going to make even close to what he made as a pro-gamer he is sorely mistaken . He is going to have to study his ass off to make basically minimum wage as a nurse. He might easily fool you guys, but at this point im already expecting to hear the next news title "stephano signs for another year with EG". You wait and see folks, he will be continued to be salaried for EG till sc2 is dead, then he will go into Warcraft 4 which is obviously blizzards next big esport . After that he will get another 4 -5 years of esport life. It doesnt matter if he thinks the game is fun or not. No work unless you are a pilot is fun.

Dont ever listen to what young kids say, their minds change constantly.

well even if he cancels his participation in esports i would still follow him on twitter, what a man, what memories, what an entertainer. We will miss you here, but you have to win a lot in these 6 months! :')
