Yeah I can't imagine Polt getting wasted every weekend and slummin' it with some babes. Though I could be wrong...

Just different priorities I guess.

I didn't get wasted at all or bang girls. I'm nowhere near as good as Polt in anything..


Confirmed geokilla doesn't like girls.

On topic, sad that Pet is stepping back. I hope we can still see him!

How did Stephano manage to win tournaments without practicing a single minute? Everyone is different and some players are good and some players completely suck. Stephano was one of those players who never had to practiced and still raped the shit out of scrubs.


"Without practicing a single minute" ...you don't actually believe that do you?

you got swag_broed.

All these foreign players who "retire partial" but still grind their easy money in the WCS. I dont know what sucks more, that they dont get beaten out by more hungry and training players or that they do not channel their whole potential anymore. I think the first one.

Well nothing really new there are a ton of retired players who still play sc2 part time or make a comeback for some examples: Stephano/DIMAGA/Petraeus/Kane/NaNiwa/qxc/Scarlett/HuK.

Ah well, I see it as a shame. To me here is one of the players that was right on the cusp of being on the level of many of the best Korean players. Still, in his shoes I'd also choose to focus on university. Now speaking broadly, if the proper incentives were in place for pro-gamers, like they are for pro-athletes...

Stephano played a lot, when he "retired" and started playing part time, he couldn't win shit. "Stephano doesn't practice" is a myth.

Kind of surprised Pet is going to university, I thought he had dropped out of high school


It always baffles me when someone gives up their education to pursue one of the most unstable careers ever. Is it really worth the risk?

"retiring from fulltime" is kinda a deceptive title no?
the word retiring should only be used when someone is hanging it up totally.
going part time is just that, going part time.

Yes, he did.
Not sure how relevant it is that YOU never have seen him, but I guess if you are interested in details there is liquipedia (omg, just to the right of this site !) or aligulac.

One of my fondest memories of Petreus is him playing from the Root house on the kr gm server on New Year's Eve. That's the passion this guy has. Always playing more than his peers, always seeking the best players he can face (kr server, traveling worldwide to find the best practice houses). I truly believe he has just started to see where his hard work and talent can take him. But alas, another one bites the dust.

Good luck in uni. This is a big blow to the foreign scenes. One of the only talented players willing to go the whole nine yards.

The question i have is, If Kane does something and then doesn't tweet about it, did it really happen?

I've got Sam on snapchat. Oh yeah. Things happen.

In the defense of stephano, he did retire very shortly after the infestor broodlord era and it was becoming more evident in his results that he did not practice as hard as he needed. i don't believe he ever did practice a whole lot compared to a lot of zergs.
