While I was a massive Stephano fan, I had kinda accepted his retirement. It's very nice to see him back cause he is awesome, but it just seems unrealistic to hope that he will crush like he used to

He's still with EG at this point but he probably wont go full time pro ever again. This is probably just a "break" for him but I think we can expect that he'll have more "breaks" in the future.

I can see him coming back on occasion because he's always played well when he didn't have to train 12 hours a day. But I don't see him being a full-time pro again.

That's nice to see him play again but he will probably not even win his group

Well maybe he will win he in the most easy group if you remove leenock because I'm sure ''maybe'' he can win vs tod and incontrol in these matchup ( 2 protoss )

2 advance so who know but I'm sure he not even good anymore, I remember he was good during the infestor wol era where he played the style nicely and abused it the best possible.

in wcs he got eliminated then stoped the game, hell im not even sure all the hype he got realy deserved, time to prove the skill he got in guessing !

meh not too exciting tbh. He was an amazing player but unless my memory is failing me, he didn't do too well in WCS EU or something and with being out of practice, unless he's still got the same instincts and play a similar style, he's going to lose in his group(ToD and Leenock advancing if it's 2/4). Either way, good to see back some old blood in SCII!

I agree. Your writing is really concise - I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but if I was you I'd start an SC2 site ala Bleacher Report where somebody googles something shoddily-related like "prize pool homestory 8" and 3 headlines come up at the top all "Everybody is Excited About Stephano's Return But Here's The Top Ten Reasons Why They Shouldn't Be" and then sit back and get rich off of ad clicks. By now you're at Network Solutions shopping for a domain name...remember me.

so has there been an official reason as to why he came back? I'm honestly very surprised by this, he seemed pretty sincere about his retirement and focusing on school instead.

It's kind of the Liquid thing where you never really leave the team/family
I doubt he's still under contract.
