Players that retire and decide to just prove that they can still play well should officialy announce return because if they do that just for the heck of it, there are players that deserve the spots they take in tournaments. If foreigners training full-time can't do better than someone in med school they don't deserve Stephano's spot/popularity. | ||

I agree but the phrase is wrongfully put If foreigners training full-time can't do better than it is questionable that their training is fully effective Look at ToD who after going over to casting has been doing incredibly, meanwhile look at other players who turned horrible results after full-time. i support Stephano because he challenges the paradigm of training; remember that in interviews he has said ''I don't practice as often, but I think about the game all the time'' THIS is in my opinion why Stephano is great, he is close to the game at all times while other players bluntly force themselves in remaining with the game. Different training regimes for different players | ||

Different training regimes for different players I really like this because it is so true for me at my level as a diamond league scrub : ). I didn't touch 1v1 for weeks at the end of last season, and beginning of this season, but I thought about the game ALOT. Then I started doing some relaxing 2v2 and 3v3 and started to enjoy the game alot more, and when I finally decided to start playing 1v1 again, I played extremely well, breaking old barriers and bad thinking. I felt more free to play a little more on the fly yet stuck to strong fundamentals. GO GO STEPHANO! | ||

What that really means is taking mostly BS courses just to inflate your GPA so you get through the acceptance door. Granted, I don't know what it's like in France, so I could be way off-base. | ||

Different training regimes for different players And look at how Targa has said his results have tanked since he stopped playing Dota and started playing Starcraft more, or how Suppy's break from college hasn't really gotten him better results. There's just something about being a foreigner that causes the amount of practice to seem pretty unrelated from results | ||
