Goodbye Stephano. Going to miss you in the SC2 scene, easily in my opinion the best foreigner for SC2 to date.

Stephano; the best Zerg player the foreigner scene has ever witnessed.

It is a sad day for SC2. Nevertheless, good luck with future studies and I hope you cherish your moments with this game, I know the community will.

i loved watching him so much, too bad blizzard had to ruin the game with widow mines, hell bats, and afterburners or we would still see stephano around...

will miss him. he made the scene fun. both in and out of the game.

glad he feels that he got a lot out of playing sc2. seems very different from his initial attitude.

I actually cried when he lost the game and typed those messages. I had always hoped in my heart that Stephano, the best Zerg player StarCraft has ever known would not quit, it was all hype. I told myself it over and over until I finally realised in those last few moments that I had been fooling myself.

I and StarCraft will NEVER forget you Stephano. You are the reason I chose Zerg, you are the reason I played as much as I did, the reason I got over my ladder anxiety, heck even the reason I started to LIKE ZVP. One day I wanted to be even 1/10th as good as you.

Yes, you didn't perform as well in HotS, but I don't care. To me you always were and always will be the best Zerg player StarCraft has ever seen.

Goodnight sweet prince. Good luck with your engineering education, whichever way it takes you.
You most certainly will not be forgotten.

Starcraft will never forget you Stephano! Your fun loving, carefree attitude was exactly what the scene needed. A real genius when it came to innovating build orders right to the end of your career. The swarmhost, infestor, viper camping style was a real treat to watch. I can't believe it's over.

it was really sad seeing Stephano leave the game and then his final message... dang... I hope he comes back or remains somewhat in the community, perhaps casting eventually?
