Big deal, he was very good, but not great. He got a lot of money out of it and would be able to pay his studies and live off of the money he got for good 3-4 years.

I will miss you, as a person and a player.

I started watching you when you hadn't won any tournament because you played a heavy ling style in ZvP and that was what I enjoyed the most too.

I'm glad to have seen you rise and stomp your way through the foreign scene to take on the big boys from the far east and even showing them that you shall be feared.

Your personality always reminded me of my young self, joking around, being sarcastic all the time and just live your young life.
As much as I liked to have someone like you to follow in starcraft I respect your intelligence in quitting this game.
I hope you will have at least half the fun you had in your sc2-time during your next years of life.

Hope to yet meet you at some offline event, luckly not as a player, so I can get you wasted

Byebye and best of luck !!

PS: awesome family!

He won more than twice as much money as the second most money-winning foreigner. Greatest outside of korea.

What is the context to the picture with the police? Where was it?

You taught me so many lessons about balance, 1hour lategame battle won in ZvT ( Thorzain) and ZvP ( HasuObs).
You contribute greatly to the meta of WoL ( mass ling/infestor, 3base/200roache/14min, heavy turtling ).
You will remind a mystery to me for I don't know how you could be so good and sense so many thing.

I still remember this "proxy" aka not expand but not even pass the xel naga tower, to make some roaches faster, hatch on scrap station, versus kenzy, you lost and didn't care you were still discovering the game.

So many memories, GG.

Sucks to see him go because I always wanted to see a resurgence of the old Stephano who put fear into the Korean's hearts and commanded the adoration of JaeDong.. But alas, it seems the EG Curse cannot be undone, reversed or overcome. His decline over the past year was depressing but at least he's still going out on top, winnings wise. GL in the real world Stephano!

Sad to see him go. So many of my favorite moments of SC2 involve Stephano. When i was learning to play zerg Stephano's streams from Korean were amazing.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
