Smartest player on EG.

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.

Truth. There's some brutal honesty in the video. best of luck to you stephano for the last 6 months/longer if you decide to play.

I rapidly went off Stephano once he joined EG. Whilst I'm not quite sure why, as I quite like EG, this video is very touching. Just seemed to have made me reflect everything, and see the old Stephano....

I can honestly say I will miss him greatly if he quits. What ever he does though, is the right decision. You don't, ever, want a career you don't enjoy, and I respect him for wanting to quit for something else he wants, if he isn't enjoying SC2 anymore.

Let's just hope for the best,

Good luck Stephano!!!

I think when he said "the result of months of practice", he meant that this is the result of only a few months of practice, because he's talented, he doesn't need to play the game that much, blablabla.

I hope that leaving Korea will make him regain interest in the game. Otherwise, good luck to him for the few month left. School starts in september in France, so he still has some time to put money to the bank.

This was very hard to watch! I've been a massive fan since he emerged onto the scene, and seeing him leave is not what I wished for at all.

This man was the last spark of hope for the foreigner scene. The cap from him to the next was very large! None else has done what he has consistently! Not only that, he was a very entertaining personality too! As a zerg player he was incredibly inspirational!


I understand his decision though - taking an education is the most fun and awesome thing I have ever done personally! It's the best

Best of luck to him! Hope he crushes some Koreans on the way out

I got to be in another SC2 video haha. I've made it into so many now. Meeting Stephano was pretty cool though, he was super relaxed as he wasn't playing the first day.

I really don't think he's going to retire just yet. He'll probably see what happens at the next few MLGs and Dreamhacks. I definitely don't see him fading quietly from tournament results then retiring, if he stops being able to compete at the level he wants he'll just peace out, but I think he'll be able to have a bounce back this year once his mindset post-Korea resets a little bit.

♥ Stephano. I would really like to see him pull off some of his trademark nonchalant badassery again.

Not all that surprising that he is going to retire soon. And although i am not a huge fan of stephano, i have to admit that him not being in the scene anymore will definitely feel strange. Still the best foreigner there has ever been in sc2

Sad video in general, but Stephano has been saying this for the past year+. Maybe he's being truthful this time, but everything Stephano says seems to play into his projected passe attitude. In reality, he practices and cares more about the game than he'll ever admit. It seems that his "too cool" attitude prevents him from being passionate about anything other than his inevitable departure from the scene. And I suspect medical school isn't quite as glamorous as he thinks.

A "kind of" human moment from Stephano. That's pretty rare and appreciable.
Good to see he's still sharp and has a good understanding of the world he lives in!

That's actually one of the few videos where he didn't play that part IMO ... he's showing lucidity that's what people don't like ... It's always annoying to see a smart person who's conscious about it and doesn't act with fake modesty (eventhough a bit more modesty [not faked] would not hurt him)

Forcing stephano to stay in korea was a good idea

God EG ... What have you done


1. It's his job, he will do whatever EG tells him to do.
2. He's always said he was going to retire as soon as he stops making money.

I remember him tweeting about coming to manchester uni to study medicine a while back, so I kinda expected something like this would come up soon.

It's the same for any job, not just video games - if you are no longer having fun at what you do for a living you can either change jobs/careers or continue what you are doing miserably for the money.
