I think the answer involves very little sleep and partying.


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.


That's because we've put 100x more hours in than these "hungry and training" players. Sure, they may have been practicing 10 hours a day for the past 2 months in preparation for the upcoming WCS qualifiers, but we've traveled around the world, made MANY sacrifices, and practiced thousands of hours to get where we are today, even if we are partially retired. I think we deserve some reward for that, don't you?

I blame this on his Swarm host war game against Stephano from last year.

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.

But I have a girlfriend now...

Stephano is a prime example of a talented specimen who just knew how to play sc2, while the koreans slave away to get better, and other foreigners slave away for mediocrity. What an amazing player Stephano was. It's too bad he had to move on with his life.

Stephano did play a lot though. The main difference between him and others was that - according to him, at least - he didn't practice specific strategies much, as he had insane game analysis.

you'd think if the other players were so hungry maybe they'd get good enough to beat you guys part timing

i swear the foreigner fan motto in starcraft is "free wins for local players plz, but by the way i don't want to watch them in the qualis because the games are so bad"

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


Oh believe me, there's TONS that happens that I can't tweet about. If you look at my tweets they're mostly concerning Starcraft


And I thought Twitter was your life. *sigh*

Not the Twitter pro I imagined after all...
