Lets all be serious here hes staying as a marketing player since thats what EG really is with their foreign players. I mean im sure he will still stay at the GM level it doesnt seem hard to do once you reach his level.

But at the rate SC2, foreign SC2 is going(even tho EU doing well) best decision you can make is go to school.
Dont be in IdrA

<3 He'd be a fantastic doctor.

Time to move on for him I guess. At some point one has to think about what comes after progaming.

Best of luck to him!

It's definetly a smart life decision. Going down the education route is a lot easier and safer than trying to be a progamer.

Wise decision
You need to think about the future too as a progammer.

Also people med school does not mean doctor all the time,there are tons of other job you can do with a bachelor in medical,you don't have to go all the way to Phd and become doc...

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone in our community to start a new stage in his life! And while he may- almost entirely- end up leaving the scene for his studies, I think it's great if this is what he wants to pursue in the long run.

I love EG and I love Thorzain, and I hope Marcus aggressively follows his (other) passion!

Spoon Terran -> Scalpel Doctor?

American Medical school is not the same as Swedish medical school.

UK medical students have loads of free time, as much as any regular full time job if not more.

Med studies takes a lot from you, but in the end it will give you much more.

GL to the spoon doctor !

Never a foolish decision to be thinking about your long term future and something I just have to respect. I hope to at least see Thorzain playing in some EU tournaments on occasion, but whatever comes of that, I hope he puts school first and is successful at that. GL Thorzain!

I don't think this is sad at all... I mean this is what players like Suppy and Polt are doing and they still seem to be able keep up their skills and play competitively. Not only is this the smarter move for his future, but if he feels it will help him be more motivated to play and enjoy the game then good luck to him!
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

Good luck to Thorzain.

How come a lot of top proSC2 players actually end up doing high-smarts courses at uni such as Thorzains Medical course?

One thing for sure, I have a much easier time picturing Thorzain as a doctor than I do Stephano!


Stephano said at WCS EU Finals Season 1 that he doesn't want to study medicine anymore, because it takes too long. He wants to study ...engineering... somewhat.


That's interesting. I've heard (from some in this forum and other forums) that some of these European doctoral/ other programs are more... laid back? not as challenging? not as hard to complete or apply to? as those in America. Here, you can't just arbitrarily snap your fingers and go "meh I'll start to study medicine/ engineering/ plenty of other things now kthxbye" with no prior education.

i know about UK and france (as gf is a french medical student)

in UK its very hard to get in (normally 10 apply per place) but once you do get in, its alot more fun and relaxed than people make out (but still very challenging at times). in france its opposite. its easy to get into medicine, but the 1st year exams are a nightmare and only the top 10% continue. i dont know what sweden is like
