I would call him an extremely good role model for newer players. It shows the arguably best non-Korean SC2 player did it without sacrifising his life in the process, which for some reason quite some TL visitors think is a good idea.

He made a good amount of money, had fun doing it, kept his social life, and now can happily continue with his education. Instead of sacrifising your social life and your education by playing idiotic amounts.

Not saying it is wrong to train more than Stephano did, but I also don't think it is bad he didn't practise more. And if you practise so much more the rest of your life is negatively affected by it you really did something wrong.

I still can't believe he went through with it. Honestly, with the position he is in I thought he would retire as a professional player and use esports as a "part time job". I mean you can get a degree, continue to make money and live really well. Then foot in door for more esports ventures later and a fall back job from the degree.

Still seems a little unreal. I will miss Stephano

So many mind blowing memories of his play, I am actually looking for TLO to carry the torch as I feel like Stephano's army control was really his most amazing and hard to copy skill. It was a great run, and I'm glad he gave me some foreigner hope!

He managed to win the most money, despite not being, according to you, the best foreigner, so by one objective measure he was the most successful foreigner.

I was hoping he would change his mind and keep on playing part time while trying to do his schooling, but I know that is a near impossible task and would probably just be a disappointment for him in SC2 and school. I'm sure Stephano practiced more than he let on but he'll always be remembered as the foreign hope that claimed to never practice. At least by retiring now he can leave with a good reputation instead of playing half-heartedly part time for a while and ending on a streak of disappointment.
