Am I the only one who thinks Stephano was in his element in SC2 and probably will be nowhere else. Only a burgeoning cult would allow shenanigans like that, but that doesn't mean I'm not into burgeoning cults.

Man, he was the greatest talent outside of Korea we have seen so far and not a shy nerd on top of that. I hope this void will be filled some day, but I have a hard time seeing it. Already miss him

He should have tried harder in GSL. Dang we may never see a foreigner beating Koreans again.

We still have Naniwa, and who knows who will pickup the game and become huge in the future?

One of my favourite players to watch, not only just in the game but during interviews and such also. Amazing entertainer.
Thank you for all that you contributed to the scene Stephano. You will be missed.

you should be proud what you achieved Stephano, the best foreigner by far!!! He also inspired me to start listening to classic rock and I found a new beautiful music genre, so thanks :D! GL with life, I am also going the same way too,,,

I felt like that goodbye from Stephano was actually very heart felt. It's not what I expected, and really got me thinking to how much he meant to the foreign starcraft scene.

One of the few zerg players I liked, and one of the even fewer I consistently rooted for. Revolutionized the game/thinking of many foreigners I would say. I will dearly miss him and his personality.

A dieu monsieur Ilyes "Stephano" Satouri.

Though not a fan of Stephano, his play was pretty stellar and I did enjoy a number of his games and series. Also liked seeing him continuously hold the foreign torch. It was an interesting development and storyline.

Best of luck Stephano. Micro those bridges in engineering.

ATB Stephano

The best thing about him was that after every game he lost he would type 'gratz' - not gg as any player who could beat him in his opinion deserved that..wow
