Y U NO SHOW YOUR NICE GUY SIDE DURING YOUR CAREER?!?!
Because the other side was way more fun and helped him deal with the stress of winning or losing. Plus Blizzard got him that cake.
This is so sad, I literally feel like a part of me is leaving. This is a dude who I watched come from seemingly nowhere to win IPL, who changed the zerg metagame. A true legend.

Plus he was the only one who knew how to open a champagne bottle.
Yeah it was weird seeing someone who is blatant about his pragmatic/money reasons for playing SC2. He was also really weird cause he seemed to have a cool demeanor about him unlike 2098210934234 faceless koreans.
It was just so refreshing to hear someone say "I am here to earn money and have fun. If you expect more from me, fuck off." Every pro is here to to that, but for some reason Stephano was able to it with style and give no fucks. Its no shock to me that we never see him on TL(I don't know if he has an account) or on reddit. He seemed to do better because he ignored all of the noise and did what he wanted to do, which was win.
And/Or because he was partying and was more interested in that. I mean TO SOME PEOPLE, being social is more fun that arguing with random guys about random things on the internet.
