he said that after a such long break, he could be a doctor cause the medecine studies in France are really hard(makes me laugh when i see people who think it's expensive to study medecine, cause in France it doesn't cost more than ~1000€/year)

so he think about math or engineer studies

Well, to be honest, the ONLY foreigners to have succeeded in SC2 were Zerg and a few Protoss. Stuff need to settle to normal, as HOTS have shown, it is balanced.

Tell that to Thorzain.

No its just its the only money we can talk about. We can count his prize money. We can't count his salary. Its not that people are forgetting it its just talking about it is pure speculation.

EDIT: Count as in actually count (1,2,3,ect) not count as in include or exclude

I think we will never stop playing sc2, he will come back some months later as a semi-professional gamer and will do small event such as the Gamers Assembly.

I'm a fan of Stephano since 2 years, I traveled specially to see him in 3-4 lan. I saw him grow up since his first tournaments, you're the best foreigner and the most friendly unlike what people usually say. If you can win a last tournament (like a boss) for us, that's would be wonderful!

Merci Stephano! <3

PS: I know that i'm a big fanboy.

Wow. Another huge draw from EG gone. I really wonder what the future of the team is now? Their Korean players are playing well and all, but without the foreigner draw, tough for me to see them stay on top or near the top of foreigner teams, at least in terms of how many eyeballs they draw...

he going to be a doctor, how u guys think this is less money than play starcraft?

Maybe what kind of doctor will he be?
Just his price money equals up what he would have got at a doctor in his first years!
And dont forget he got around 8000$ for some months.

No he said on stream that he won't do med school, and doing something in maths or physics like an engineering school.
