Good luck, Thorzain! You're still one of my favorite terrans<3

Glad to see EG keeping him on the team, and (hopefully) facilitating his education.

GL to Thorzain, you guys finally see what this Korean madness leads to? We are losing every interesting foreign player.
Smart decision I guess.

Thorzain vs Stephano bo3 in knowledge of medicine.

They become world class doctors and argue with each other of the same player. ANd have to duke it out in starcraft to see who does the operation >.< one can dream

Good luck on the future, Thorzain!

I wonder if this'll actually improve his play by making him happier.

it's true eSports does not provide a stable future and going back to school is the best choice, I get worried when kids want to go pro rather than go to school. Its hard and depressing and in the end you get 5 minutes of fame and left with nothing.

Ya, I think this is pretty smart. It is good to know when you should just move on from SC II. I hate to say it, but I don't think Thorzain is going to win another major.

you can normally go back to school/college/university at 18-25 years old. if you get the opportunity to be a pro gamer for a few years, take it!

Good luck, pretty sure Thorazain can pull of studying and still be relevant in the foreign scene, just like Nerchio and many others. I actually have no idea why Stephano doesn't continue playing part time, since he didn't train as much in the first place.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

And Stephano can’t do the same, why? Thorzain said he practices every day for like 8-10 hours. Stephano said he barely practiced at all and had more success. Stephano should have remained the part time progamer since he only practices for like 1-3 hours a day and still places high at tournaments.

this was debunked several times by his teammates, even incontrol. Maybe at times he only played a few hours a day, but I also heard several times that he really busted his ass training at this game, and bragged about only putting in a few hours just for show to maintain that kind of rock star "i dont give a shit" image.

Mondragon has claimed to never practice throughout his career despite visibly spending all his free time in op tot) looking for games.

Transitioning from playing SC2 full time to medical school prerequisites at the age of 22, and thinking of playing the game on the side... a little overambitious if he's not some sort of prodigy. Hard to overcome the lower plasticity in an adult brain.

Gl Marcus, i expect there wont be much time for SC since medschool takes up pretty much all the time you´ve got, but i can see how his is the right choise best of luck, hope to see you stream again.

It was painful to see Thorzain get 1st place a couple times and then just drop in the Ro32 or Ro16 every other tournament...

Gratz and glhf! You'll always be my favorite javla Terran player!
