Stephano was/is without a doubt the best foreigner, it was entertaining to see his adventure. Sad that this is getting so little attention compared to Idrama.

Considering the fact that he is not without a doubt the best foreigner, and in fact Nani had put up significantly better results in HotS than he was, I don't get that first statement. Though the second part of your statement I wholly agree with, I wish people were paying more attention to him, and yes his adventure + personality was great to see.


NaNiwa placed 2nd at one tournament. That doesn't automatically make him the top foreigner. *Facepalm* Plus he said Stephano WAS/IS the best foreigner. Obviously him being the best foreigner is up to your opinion but there is NO doubt that he WAS the best. 4th most all time in prize money $210,000+. Improve your reading skills. *Another Facepalm*

I'm talking about recent results. Yes Stephano has the most money, I'm not going to start a fight over who was, I'm saying that stephano was definitely not the definitively best foreigner and their are people who think Nani is. Also, no, none of those are facepalms, if that is a facepalm moment for you, you must be doing it all day.

It might have been stated before, but EG just cleared a whole pile of money off their salary books.

So who's next to go, and who's next to come on board at EG?
Win. That's all that matters. Win. Nobody likes to lose.

Well it has been well known for quite some time now, if he wanna study he better do it now while he's still young so good choice, requires very much disciplined also to give up everything u loves to do. GLHF!

Med school is free in France. He's got a lot of money saved up to buy vodka.


With the money he'll have , he could pay himself a really good US medical education. The French medical education process is controversial, significantly more unpleasant and the opportunities are very different.

I have a hard time believing this. Couldn't he study and at least play part time? He used to play 3 hours a day before he got big. If I were him, I'd at least try to make both work before giving up completely.

Probably sign Jaedong to real contract (i believe he is still on loan?) and one other big name/superstar player is all I'm hoping for.

wise choice. He was a monster in WoL, but it was unlikely that he would match that in HotS imo.

Nah, for things like Medical school, you either devote 100% of the time and learn it properly, or you don't do it at all. Glad Stephano is deciding to pursue his education 100%.

Where is that free agent thread when you need it? Would be nice to know whose contracts are running out, either. Getting more Korean players would certainly make sense for their pro-league ambitions and when EG calls, there should be plenty Korean players to answer.
