Didn't Stephano say that he was going to study Engineering? I think that's what I heard at WCS EU when he was speaking on camera.

Guess that means EG will have even more money to spend on players when JD's contract is up for renewal, no Idra, half a Thorzain and no Stephano.

Haha vrok, I just finished a translation on my own ;D But yours is good.

Fun side note, the reason Google translates EG into EC is that EG in Swedish is the acronym for the European Communities, the precursor to the EU ^^

I wish you the best of luck Thorzain!

Thorzain doesn't have to feel an inkling of disappointment because of choosing this path. It's the best choice that he could have made. GL!

Thank you vrok for the effort you went through with the full transcript, it makes the situation easier to understand.

I can't fault Thorzain's reasoning behind moving towards playing part-time given that his results aren't showing themselves to be the best anymore and he DOES still have the option of pushing for his future through more "standard" channels. He's right, it's very hard to support yourself if you're a progamer and not a content-provider / caster / personality.

Best of luck to Thorzain in his future endeavors I am excited to see what we will get from him when he is enjoying the game more instead of playing for its own sake. It has done wonders for other EG players that have stepped down ^_^
Better to be thought a fool and keep your mouth closed than to open it and remove all doubt.

Hmm, I'm not sure. All the information from before indicated he was going into the medical field. If it's true he's going into engineering, cool as well. MvE .

Stephano said he will be studying about medical thing in the university, I read about it in multiple older interviews.

The last time I read about this subject, he actually said that he is considering studying economy the most (as far as I remember).

Good choice Thorzain You should definitely think about your future and long term plans in life.
Thanks for all the amazing games so far, but I still do hope to see more of you in the future

I'm sad to see him go, though his results as of late haven't been up to his previous standard. If I ever happen to need a surgeon, someone as meticulous as Thorzain would be ideal!

Nah, the sharp spoon is among the tools of the surgeon:
