Sad to see an old name go, especially one from oGs... but does anyone know what TheSTC stands for? It's really bugging me now.

I believe he said it was The StarCraft, I'll look up the source and edit into this post at some point

Actually, there’s nothing really special about it… It stands for TheStarCraft. As to why I chose that name, that is because when I first got onto battlenet in SC1, I was in my 2nd year in middle school and although I wanted to make a great ID, my English skills weren’t up to par. And I couldn’t think of any other words, so I just went with a shorted version of TheStarcraft as “TheStC” which looked pretty good at the time. I have just been sticking with it ever since haha…

The team house has a bunch of cut-ups! I wish we could access that more often!

fantastic interview, sad to hear about his struggles with the decision, but honestly that he is retiring is not sad at all if this is how he feels. i think the community needs to be more supportive of players retiring when they feel this way and when it's right for their futures rather than just always wanting players to continue so the scene "feels alive"

Thanks for the memories TheStC! I think my favorite game of his was at IPL 5 against Bomber, a pretty epic WoL TvT:

What reasons led you to retire?
First, I failed to find a new team. Second, I worried about my future. I think my age also has something to do with it. I have to be responsible and really determine what my lifestyle will be since I’m growing older. I dont want to hide from reality anymore.

So true.

So many pro-gamers and people on this forum hiding from reality. Dont be sad, its probably the best decision he made in awhile.

Was one of my favourites in early WoL. I remember before Koreans streaming was normal he used to pop up regularly on some guys stream who used to show various pro players, was always amazed at his play.
Good luck in the future and thanks for the fun games

Sad to see an oldtimer go, can't blame him though. To be eliminated from WCS AM must feel like a sucker punch for Korean pros.

Back in the day when I asked that question, I was told STC stands for Starcraft (lame, I know) . Don't know if it's true though.

On this very page, Antoine's post above has a link where TheStC states that yes, his name stands for "The StarCraft"
