He's a med student? Nah, I'm pretty sure he's an undergrad at UCB


Correct. Berkeley doesn't have a medical school. ^_^

This is rather a lose-lose situation. If he wants to get far and successful in either field, it's inevitable to drop one.
Same goes for suppy, he's spending time that he could have spent otherwise in research, volunteer, shadowing, into professional gaming.
It's only a matter of time before thorzain quit competitive computer gaming completely. Only a logical option.


This is the death knell for his progaming career imo. I think he's just preparing now which is a lot smarter than dropping progaming (i.e. a salary, streaming revenue) cold turkey. If he plays part time there's a good chance that he'll still earn enough/save enough to make a significant dent in his student loans.

Really? I don't. In terms of the social dynamic, stephano has a sort of natural arrogance, where as thorzain always gave me the impression he was still really socially awkward and afraid. I'm not insulting him, i'm that way also .



I rather trust a doctor that is a bit "socially akward" then one who sat in the drunk tank the last night from partying and throwing up.

Remember that we're talking about Swedish student loans here he's probably just playing part-time because he enjoys it.

a) stephano ain't doin med school
b) pretty sure if he did med school and became a doctor he would not be getting piss drunk and thrown in jail the night before doing a procedure

wow wow wow, well, I think he doesn't realize what it takes to go to med school. I really doubt he will have any spare time for SC2, even not in a professional level... so, this may as well be a goodbye for ever...

Thorzain said that he is gonna study for the next 6 years, but actually he needs to study for 12 years if he wanted to be psychiatric. To become psychiatric, you need to first go through licensiate of medicine and then get the specialization degree which takes another 6 years.

Pretty sure this has been said already, but to become a psychiatrist in Sweden:
"Swedish High School" with special courses in Science and Mathematics ->
-> 5½ years of study at a medical university ->
-> 1½ years of internship at a hospital ->
-> You got your medical degree! ->
-> Another 5 years of working and part-time education and internships to get your specialization degree, for example psychiatrist


Good luck Thorzain and welcome to my town, I'll buy you a beer for beating MC =D
