Just want to say goodbye. It's been a long run since i saw his first game at eosl winter 2010: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfu8x7_portrait-eosl-winter-10-m-stephano-starcraft-2_videogames

I'm a little bit sad. I hope someone will make a documentary on his career, he deserve it.

Granted, I haven't been watching too much Star2 anymore but whenever I did, it was either MVP, O/GSL or Stephano's games. Good luck in whatever he's up to next and I think I'm gonna watch some Stephano vs Polt now... Thanks for the memories, Stephano! =(~^_^')=

Stephano is the most awesome pro gamer ever existed. 100 % skill 100 % understanding of the game 100 % pleasure

Stephano showed that if you have a lot of talent, then enjoying life is a better way to prepare for matches than sitting on the pc all day. He didn't cloud his mind with theorycrafting and bitching over balance (always calling his race OP, dispite everyone else crying), not wasting the fun of the game by playing it 10 houres straight every day are to me key aspects of his success. Yes he's damn fast, and the drone micro vs zerlings especially in his early stages were just so sick. His attitude and jokes were really chilled, he is really outstanding a outstanding pro gamer.

Even when I stoped playing and watching sc, I would always keep an eye open to see some stephano matches (and ok jeadong^^).

I will really miss him, his sc2 stream was always so nice, great attitude about the game and even greater skill. By far the best sc2 gamer.

Bye Stephano! I'll miss you! Really one of my favorite players. From finding about him because of his contract issues, to his IPL run, to Stephano vs Polt all the time, to meeting him in person at last year's MLG, I've really enjoyed having Stephano in eSports, in this game, in this scene. Bye!!!

He had an incredible mindset, he never bought into common but destructive patterns of thinking like "foreigners are supposed to lose to Koreans" or "my race is the weakest". He knew Zerg was strong and he knew Koreans were far from unbeatable, and he had the balls to turn that mindset into tournament wins. Congrats and he'll be missed.

I was never the biggest Stephano fan, but I certainly respected him and recognized his importance in the foreigner scene. It's sad to see him go, but good on him for sticking to his guns and moving on with his life the way he always said he was going to.

I don't think I'll need to wish him luck; he seems like he knows exactly what he's doing and I'm sure he'll be successful at whatever he chooses.
