Best of luck Stephano in life, and hopefully you come back to us after some time like Select did :D
There is no other foreign player that has changed the metagame so consistently like you did.

Thank you for all that time, Stephano. Thank you for always being reliable in kicking some Korean butts and for contributing to Zerg dominance in WoL.

Watched some starcraft again just to watch your last day, I have no interest anymore watching SC since a few weeks and this just seals the deal.

It was incredibly fun watching your progress, from those Go4SC2 to the IPL and ESWC champion making guys like TheStc and MKP look silly and confused because of your crazy playstyle. Absolutely demolishing other zerg in a mirror match up, I will never forget those games against nerchio, who was supposedly the best ZvZ in europe, you made him switch to terran lol....

Great memories

I would think Grrr or ElkY would be more analogous to Stephano than Savior. Best foreigner and all?

In any event, well done Stephano. You had a great run!

Yeah , but Im talking about the way he plays.
Before Stephano one rule in my mind was that if Zerg is significantly down in supply against terran, he loses 95% of the time, but not the other way around.
Stephano , just by taking engagments so differently , flipped that around in his games.

This feels like MaDFroG retiring back in the days of WC3..

this is exactly what iam thinking aswell
like madfrog he changed the meta of the race he played in a matchup totally , kicked some korean ass and still, he was such a great person.
GL in the future may u become the greatest engineer the world ever saw.

I started watching his stream because of the awesome music.
Hell, Stephano made this game look easy. I remember his comments while playing. He was always like: "so he is doing ..., so I am going to ..." And he was winning. All the time! Simply brilliant.

And during WoL he was the only one Koreans were afraid of :D :D

GL and stay awesome!
