Never learned to use more than 2 unit hotkeys groups, thats why he always defend small harass with his big main army losing out on position and opportunity. He only wins when he can defend defend defend then make a big army with one hotkey and A move. aka abuzerg User was warned for this post | ||

These costs are easily covered by student grant (if he even gets that because of his "massive" wealth) or his saved money. Stephano has enjoyed playing SC2 because he likes to win stuff and travel around the world meeting people which is not possible by playing the game half-assed. edit: reading all those horrorstorys about college education in the states really makes me question that system even more edit2: studying medical related things is overrated, unless the courses are significantly more time intensive in the US it is really not that much that you cant do anything else in your life. ( Its probably comparable to a normal 40 hour job if you are really dedicated) here in USA medical field is 100% different and requires 100% attention to, My post was Directed at the person saying why can't stephano pro game and go to college, Suppy is in a field of work in his studies that don't take as much time as the medical field in any country, and also suppy is from a well off, good family who pays for his student fee's. Medical field in USA is 100% harder then any where else in the word, But even in euro, medical field will take much of your time, glad stephano is thinking of his well being rather then doing pro gaming. Much love to stephano. | ||

I knew this day was coming but I'm still sad to hear it. A smart choice by you because you can't be a pro gamer forever and you obviously have realized that sooner or later you would have had to give it up. I'll miss your brutal honesty, air of confidence and the sexy french accent. gl hf! He never planned on living as a pro gamer, it's always just been to grab money before uni. | ||

When he does quit, it will leave a big hole both in skill and in entertainment. Glhf Stephano, and thx for all the awesome moments  hope study goes well. If u ask me it's the best decision compared to continuing to play and having an uncertain future.My only request for you would be to go out with a bang. | ||

Much love to stephano. You're sure ? Because 1st year of medecine in france is really really hard. Basically you have to remember a lot of useless stuff (like the names of many many things in latin), and every people going there told me they work their ass out for a year. The 1st year is harder, because you only have a limited amount of people that are allowed in the 2nd year, and don't depend on how many people follow the course. Once you passed the first year it's way easier | ||

Now I don't know which one is harder, I guess you won't know unless you have studied in every country in the planet... | ||

You should be ashamed of yourselves and about the crap you write about him. He was the best foreigner and he had a tremendous impact on the community, drawing viewers, fans and new people to the game. | ||

Once you passed the first year it's way easier yeah i know, I was just trying to tell the guy who was telling me the medical field is easy in other countries other then USA, I know its hard everywhere , And trying to give my respects to Stephano, I have a mother who is a doctor in USA. So I understand how time consuming the field of work is vs other college studies, I hope Stephano goes to the top. | ||

He popularized the ling-infest into ultra when everybody played ling-ban-muta, created the 200 max roach, was the first to use roach-hydra composition in ZvT with success. He was an innovative player. His style is not in defense -> big blob attack, watch more games of him. And his engagements/micro were epic. And you can't overrate a player who wins so much tourneys. | ||
