After a glorious time on EG, Stephano has decided to join the hypest, craziest team of all: MELTDOWN!
I hear you say: Meltdown? Isn’t that, like, a bar or something?
Damn right it is: for two years we’ve been spreading eSports fun all across Europe with our bars in Paris, Berlin and London (not to mention our franchise program you may want to take a look at)!
And today we are proud to announce the formation of our own eSports team!
Why is it twice the fun? ‘Cause you won’t only be able to watch your favourite players on their stream, you’ll have a place to meet them, share drinks, tips and more!
Stephano is the undisputed Zerg prodigy, the adorable brat, the party animal we all cheer for, and for many foreigners the only hope against mighty Korea. Retired, you say? I think not! Not only will we support him for all major tournaments, but we’re also proud to present you with Stephano Show!
Once a month, Stephano will host his very own party at a Meltdown bar, offering live coaching, challenges, analysis and much more!
I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are about all this. Welcome [MD]Stephano!

Stephano back at "all major tournaments" ? I like the sound of that!
|
|
|
stephano being sponsored by a bar doesn't surprise me
|
damn it looks like I need to move
|
announcement doesn't assess the most important point: is stephano back full time or is this all just for fun?
|
|
|
|
|
Is he gonna get paid with alcohol ?

He's back to get drunk. Fully drunk, not part time drunk of course.
|
Very nice!!! Looking forward to see that show :D
|
Word! Hopefully EG can buy some new players now, legitimate them as a team again
|
|
|
This is pretty sick ! Great news !

Also MeltdownStephano sounds a bit weird.

If he is sponsored by a bar it is pretty sure he will not get seriously back into the game. Anyway this bar is awesome, Stephano is awesome -> Meltdown Stephano is awesome

This is going to be amazing, and plus, No more EG curse! Best foreigner inc.
|
Wow! This is just... I can't even... just wow.
|
Retired in WCS? I think not
|
So he finally finished his streaming quota ?

Like Meltdown Paris was not crowded enough lol
Still happy though, nice career development.

Is this serious??!?!?!!!!???

It's cool to see that Meltdown bars are succeeding! Being from the US I don't really know how popular the bars are but this is confirmation that they do!!
Bring one to NYC :D

Yeah. I was like wtf when he "came back" and was still on EG.
Cool for Stephano though. Best of luck to him and the new team!

This is the jolt of life the SC2 scene needed!
|
stephano payed with free drinks and partying all the time, sounds normal to me . :D
|
[MD]Stephano... did he switch from alcohol to MDMA?

3k square feet (officially, i'd say less) and absolutely packed (at least on Saturday Night) i guess with the Stephano Show they'll have to refuse people.

"He's drunk"
This news is really funny and very refreshing. Of course I'd have loved to see Stephano coming back to Millenium but at least it's a french organization.

Saw this coming as soon as the announcement of his retirement was announced, although I didn't predict it to happen in such a cool way. This is great from Meltdown.

What's he going to coach, how to beat people by boring them to death with SH turtle?
|
Taking his medical studies into consideration I think that StephanoM.D. or close to that would look much cooler

Maybe how to show good games. Quite a few players could stand to learn that lesson.

Oh my god this is great.
Also really cool from Meltdown in general actually, hopefully their efforts towards managing a team as well actually work out really well! :D

You can just a read a Korean interview to learn about showing good games

This just kind of makes me chuckle haha.

It makes sense that a college student would choose to spend his professional life in a bar
Grats!
Continue to fail at quitting SC2 steph! Loving it
|
man if i'd be living in paris, i'd be hyped.
|
Holy shit, how awesome is this!?!?!?
I love that it is a bar who is sponsoring him as it fits his "wild" style much better than EG who has strict expectations.
And, TRAVELING FOR MAJOR TOURNAMENTS! So sick!

How to be the best foreigner of all time? How to keep having more stream viewers than every other pro gamer?

Perfect team for Stephano. Hope to see him do well.

So is Stephano going to be playing year round? Or is he going to completely disappear every time school starts up?

Seriously tho I cant believe that i wouldnt have heard that he wasnt with EG anymore and instead sponsored by new team. But i guess being sponsored by Meltdown is perfect for him and great for the scene.
So GLHF!

He will mainly focus on his studies. Millenium's manager asked him about his plans when he saw that he qualified for WCS and he answered that he was playing for fun / when he has the time / when he wants (pick an answer) so don't expect him to be competitive the way he was in 2012.

Finally finished his streaming hours?

So that's 1-2 tournament wins tops right?
|
Woah, SH will increase drinks at this bar. Ingenious plan.
|
Finally, it is fun to root for Stephano again : )))
Also, this just sounds like pure gold, Stephano playing for Team sponsored by a bar : )))
To me, he lost his special touch when he was on EG, seemed to be just like another guy getting the moneys, this sounds more like him :D

Stephano sponsored by a bar franchise? 200% sense.
|
Its quite shocking to me that EG let him go. I mean Stephano is one of the scenes most marketable players.
|
well, there facebook page getting lots of hits. I didn't think e-sports bars were profitable, especially to support a team. Interesting...
|
Uhhh...I'm confused does that mean hes back? Will he play more and stream more now? With ''Major tournaments'' do they mean premier/major or major tournaments?

MD.Stephano? seems like it fits considering he's supposed to be becoming a doctor and all.
|
You gotta be kidding me. O.O
|
I would pay to hear him analyze games and just say that everything is "disgusting" :D

This is like a news from esex. Such a perfect fit.

à votre santé!

Meltdown convince Naniwa to join you please.

Sick. Gogo Stephano! Stephano party nights should be awesome haha

Sounds like it's all gravy for Stephano. GL to both!

Stephano being sponsored by a bar. Figures.
Good news! I really have to visit the Meltdown Bar in Berlin at some point.

Being there last week end for a Street Fighter tournament. The place is pretty cool.
They already sponsor the best French player in Street Fighter, so this is a nice catch as well.

Sad to see a favorite player leave my favorite team but I thought he was "retired" anyway
This team seems like a perfect fit for Stephano and it will be great to have him back on the scene!
Edit: and if this came out on April 1st nobody would believe it. This totally seems like an April Fools joke someone would pull out.

This is pretty hilarious...best of luck with the new team stephano.

No one answered the most important question. can we(i.e Stephano) still attribute any Stephano loss to him being retired?!

But he is not. Or is he? It gets confusing when others inform again and again that he is not but still it gets repeated over and over that he is.
|
Ha ha ! I didn't get the joke about MD initially too, but even explained it's really funny, which tells how good a joke that was
|
Haha haha this is awesome
|
"No really he is retired, just playing casually for fun." In all seriousness this seems like a perfect fit for Stephano haha
|
This is really bad for Stephano. While on EG, he had to drink Monster after every game. If he has to drink cocktails after every game he will not go far in future tournaments.
|
Wow. An esports bar with its own team, and Stephano as their headlining player. Are you sure it's not April 1st?

That was probably water in a Monster can. Granted, it may have really been a Monster, but they also produce "Stage Water" that's just water.

|
|
Wow so it looks like Stephano managed to get his doctors license after all?
Harharharharhar
|
I can't think of a much more appropriate sponsor for Stephano than a bar chain.
|
Nice pickup and it fits. Viva la France
|
Get Stephano on your team by giving him free drinks. Why didn't any other team manager think of this before.

Hope he'll still post awesome results while on Meltdown eSports team !

I hope he ditches the "retired" thing and starts kicking some Korean ass.

Keep those MD.Stephano jokes rolling.

Did Stephano every say he was gonna be a doctor? Man, some people are just dicks. Good thing Stephano doesn't give a flying fuck.

So what you're saying is that Stephano will be drinking water from a cocktail glass

Stephano will have a two drink minimum.

Without the EG curse, he'll for sure get top 8 next WCS season. Just look at Alive, Oz, Revival, etc.

atleast now stephano can put a MD on his name med school too stronk
|
|
|
Wow, finally an unexpected transfer!
|
Nice.
Hope to see him take matches a bit more seriously.
|
Bar and Stephano goes well together.
|
so I guess as far as Starcraft is concerned, EG is now basically a personal sponsor for Jaedong and that's about it.
|
A bar sponsoring Stephano? Hilarity shall ensue.
|
He has a meltdown everytime he loses to Nerchio, thats for sure
|
Great to have you back Stephano
|
Wow, I've been hating on stephano for the last couple of weeks. But have to admit this is pretty cool.
|
Doesn't sound like it from the EG post but I wonder if there was any controversy regarding his leaving. I recall he mentioned he'd be fined for laughing when his friend insulted EG while Stephano was streaming, probably looking too deeply into it though.

The statement from EG was a lot more interesting and maybe should have been included and not just linked to.
Don't think a lot of people noticed it in the link.
Found the last part very interesting.
As far as EG's future with Stephano and StarCraft 2, we're keeping the book open. While there are a lot of exciting things going on in eSports right now, we have not lost our focus on StarCraft 2. It remains one of our pillars, especially as we get closer and closer to Legacy of the Void. And as for Ilyes specifically, we'd love to work with him again in the future if the opportunity comes up.
They drop one player that was supposed to retire last fall and are focusing on telling that they are not leaving SC2 and it remains a focus.
Sounds like theres more people getting released soon.
|
Oh my god, this is glorious xDDD I love it! :D
Stephano + esports bar = perfect match
I'm very curious about the "Stephano Show". Maybe also invite BlinG. Shows need superstars, no? And then let them start a Looping Louie league.

Incontrol said on Reddit that Thorzain is basically retired...he didn't even play in all of the WCS EU qualifiers, so wouldn't be surprised if they let him and Machine go. JYP might also go that way since he's out of WCS once again, which is a pity since he seemed to be on the up at the end of 2013. He also said that they might stop playing in team leagues after ATC (which is silly because they still have one of the largest rosters out of all the foreign teams).

|
The metldown was already crowded as it was.This is marketing genius !
|
This is so perfect, it almost feel like trolling.
|
Stephano's here to study and kick ass, and he's all out of studies. Also, isn't that sponsorship some kind of reimbursement?
|
MD tag is a perfect fit for Stephano

As a spectator, this can only end well.

Nah man, this was the hard way. How many doctors are there? I don't know but I bet that they are very many in numbers. How many MeltDowners are there? Yeah.

This is great news indeed, but didn't he announce publicly that he retired from SC2? Cmon now.....I guess every individual is different but I guess he could have some dignity you know? If you retire, you retire, full stop. I get the feeling he only announced that retirement to gain attention...
If I was a pro player I could also make that cheap move. Announce retirement, gain attention, and a while later come back to gaming because in my heart I have always planned to make a comeback, and that the "retirement" was only to gain attention.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no Stephano hater or anything, but really, if you say you retire, then stop playing?

This is great news indeed, but didn't he announce publicly that he retired from SC2? Cmon now.....I guess every individual is different but I guess he could have some dignity you know? If you retire, you retire, full stop. I get the feeling he only announced that retirement to gain attention...
If I was a pro player I could also make that cheap move. Announce retirement, gain attention, and a while later come back to gaming because in my heart I have always planned to make a comeback, and that the "retirement" was only to gain attention.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no Stephano hater or anything, but really, if you say you retire, then stop playing?
Maybe he is just not quite sure what he wants to do? Not playing because of "dignity" is retarded. The whole "lol I almost beat you even thought I am retired" thing he does is a bit silly thought.
I am super happy about this:D

There's an easy way and a hard way to get that MD after your name. Can't fault him for going the easy way. Nah man, this was the hard way. How many doctors are there? I don't know but I bet that they are very many in numbers. How many MeltDowners are there? Yeah.
Easy for Stephano.

One does not simply retire!
Also another good reason to visit Paris.
Yet, who'll lure us to Berlin & London?

Stephano vs Jeysen rematch!!!!

MD tag is a perfect fit for Stephano
Wouldn't DUI be more apt?

Wow, pretty cool. Glad to see new teams forming and new opportunities for players. Wish we had more of this in the US.

haha agreed, especially since he've been told repeatedly by now that he isn't becomming a doctor after all.

It's mainly marketing. I highly doubt EG will invest anything into SC2 in the next year or so.
They just bought a very expensive Call of Duty team, they bought a very good street fighter player and a Smash Bros player, they're expanding elsewhere and it's understandable.
Who else would you need beside Jaedong for Starcraft anyway.

Now Stephano can get all the alcohol he wants

It's easy from anywhere in France to go once a month to Paris for a reasonable amount of money, so I don't think he has to move there.

He's gonna live near UCL, a university in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. About 400km from Paris.

So sad to see EG lose another legendary foreigner

How does a semi-retired player switch teams? I'm so confused.

Incontrol said on Reddit that Thorzain is basically retired...he didn't even play in all of the WCS EU qualifiers, so wouldn't be surprised if they let him and Machine go. JYP might also go that way since he's out of WCS once again, which is a pity since he seemed to be on the up at the end of 2013. He also said that they might stop playing in team leagues after ATC (which is silly because they still have one of the largest rosters out of all the foreign teams).
I thought Machine retired a while back.

On Caledonian Road. Definitely come by, it's a very nice place.

Stephano sponsored by a bar, I guess it doesn't shock me at all.
|
Talking about a perfect fit..
Also - that bar/club manager/owner seems well fitting
(makes me wish I knew French really, so I could understand/see )

Didn't he quit to become a doctor? What's going on with Stephano? I've been out of the loop lately .

Any statement from Stephano? I know he's not much of a public speaker, but c'mon.

Oh, economics... Well that explains the free time in comparison to being a doctor xD Thanks for this I was unaware of the switch and was sort of confused >.>

So he changed his mind ? Because in 2013/2014 he was studying engineering/math in an university of Luxembourg.
