In my Protoss days Stephano was the only non Protoss streamer I would watch. His play at his prime was magical, and he was IMO the only non-Korean who could have won a GSL, shame that his only appearance wasn't remarkable (being ran over by Innovation, oh well).

Goodbye Stephano, you are leaving a huge hole in the scene, a hole that wouldn't be filled soon, if ever.
I'm playing the game, the one that will take me to my end, i'm waiting for the rain, TO WASH-- WHO I AM!!!

"Widely considered the best non-Korean player of all time"

Might want to edit that and say best non-korean starcraft 2 player of all time, not to be a dick (but i dont care if I'm called one anyways), but i can name off numerous other individuals throughout the span of foreign vs korean scenes in bw/wc3/sc2 that have met and succeeded past Stephano. Just nit-picking.

Best of luck in your endeavors Stephano, hope you excel at whatever you choose to do.

Had a great run. He couldn't end it on top, but very few do. He's probably been looking further than August 2013 the last couple of months, so it is very understandable. On top of that, SC2 is quite a volatile game. Thank you for kicking some serious Korean ass!

The fact that you at this moment found yourself intrigued to nit-pick at something that miniscule and irrelevant makes you not a dick, but definitely a moron.

Edit: Oh and what you are writing is utter nonsense as well. He is widely considered the best non-Korean player of all time. You may not think so, but a lot of people do. So there is nothing wrong with that statement.

A natural talent, by far the best non-korean player in Starcraft 2 in my opinion. He defined the metagame multiple times.
