I still haven't forgiven him for not taking a GSL seed during his prime, but that's just who Stephano was.


He did, he was eliminated in the Ro32.

Stephano, if you're reading this by chance, I want to say thank you. You've been an enormous influence on my Starcraft play, even when you invented that god damn 12 minute roach/ling max in ZvP. I wish you luck in wherever you choose to go next, and glhf one final time.

Thanks for always being the crazy, friendly, and awesome representative that SC always needed. You will be missed.

I said in his prime. His one GSL appearance coincided with his absolute nadir in form.

I had a feeling about this kid when I watched him win IPL 3 @ Atlantic City from the 5th row ... and as time went on he didn't disappoint.

I love Stephano because he's a true individual, never following the herd, he walks his own path. Never kissing ass.

Rock on Stephano u a brother from another motha.

If its not fun I dont want it.

Everytime I think of SC2 WoL from at least 2011 when I first heard of him to early 2013, it's his ridiculous and supposed 12 minute max roach rush. Against Protoss I don't think I've ever seen him lose when I watched him. His split of speed roaches and lings into 3-4 different groups while simultaneously killing units and buildings while macroing and possibly defending counter attacks makes me appreciate how good he was and how difficult this game can be

So sad T_T

I wish he could have at least made the finals as his sendoff. Instead he dies in the ro16. He went out with class too.

Thank you Stephano, for all the great games, the Zerg innovations, and for defending the pride of foreigners time after time.

I really will miss this guy !
He gave me chills when he won the IPL 3 Championship, beiing one of the first foreigner to win a major tournament, beating 4 Koreans in a row !

I will remember a people who never whined about the balance, never rage quit, often forfaits games and tournaments ;-)
I will remember the games against his nemesis Polt, in MSI Pro Cup, Asus ROG 2012 and Lone Star Clash.
I will remember the misunderstandings concerning the CompLexity affair and finally, the transfer to EG.
I will remember the 12 minutes max roach strategy, and an epic game 2 against Kiwikaki during the IPL 3 !


Farewell Stephano, many thanks, and gl for the new chapter of your life.
SC2 will not be the same without you...
You're already a Legend !
