http://www.millenium.org/starcraft-2/accueil/actualites/sc2-stephano-invite-en-gsl-code-s-le-joueur-millenium-en-coree-65778

The Millenium player just announced on his stream that he received an invitation to participate next season in the stellar competition that is the GSL Code S.
Stephano is going to leave for Korea within several weeks, right before the start of tournament. However, he has been saying repeatedly that the GSL wasn't his priority, but he stated he might play if his schedule allows him to. In the end, nothing's set in stone yet.

[Stephano's quote from his stream, saying what was just summarized]

If he chose to enter the tournament, Stephano would join NaNiwa in the world elite of Starcraft. The Swede, through brilliant play, secured a spot in Code S for next season, by reaching the quarter-finals of the competition.

T/N: Sorry for my sucky translation skills.

---

Well, most probably this isn't the first time he got invited. This is merely a marketing thing, as Stephano is likely to accept this time.

---

As encouraged by figq (page 8, next time just pm me yo), here's the previous announcement by Stephano that he will continue his gaming career for another year. Translation by me.

You probably haven't missed this news that has run rampant on all global forums: Stephano announced that he will prolong his ESPORTS career for a new season of Starcraft 2.

MillStephano ‏ @MillStephano
Great news for you guys, I've been thinking since a week about it and I decided to take another sc2 year and a trip to korea in 1.5 month!!!
10:44 PM - 19 Apr 12 via web


Via twitter, the Millenium player proclaimed his intention to continue his gaming career for the coming year. This decision was unclear due to the fact that Stephano merely put aside his medecine studies, planning to return to the university in september 2012. However, the recent success turned the situation upside down, due to the important tournament wins of the young French.

That's why Stephano will first return to the USA in a few weeks before reentering Korea afterwards to bathe in the Korean players' and coaches' proficiency. We will bring you an interview with Stephano in the coming days to provide you with more details on this great news.

Why is it unexpected? Stephano said he would delay his studies one more year and go to korea in 1.5 months. He would NOT go to korea if he didn't have a code S seed. He would be better off staying in America/Europe with anything less.

Anyway grats! Can't wait to see Stephano vs Naniwa in the GSL

Hmm, GOM has repeatedly invited Stephano to Code S as far as I know. He just declined every single time. It's not really big news that they offer him a seed again, now, it's just to be expected, if you like it or not.

The interesting thing this time is simply that the's actually considering taking it, because he wants to go to Korea anyway.

Obviously it's also a marketing move, but that doesn't mean it isn't also based on his results.

I'm no advocate of Code S seeds, but it seems like GOM won't stop giving them out anytime soon, so I can live with their decision to give it to Stephano of all players.

OMG NANIWA + STEPHANO next GSL? Is this real life? We only need Thorzaine there and top 3 foreign representatives are there.

He deserves a seed but I don't think he has a serious chance of winning Code S. Everybody in the current Ro8 could beat him imo.

Stephano I think is the only foreigner who deserves a code s spot. I wouldn't have even said nani until his performance in gsl this season.

I think stephano might not fare so well in the gsl format though. But he's on of my favorite players, so gogo! Stephano vs naniwa season three finals :D

Sorry, can I get a link? And nowhere does it say he is going to play in GSL, it just says he was given yet another seed if he wanted to play.

Stephano will leave in 2 weeks to the US and stay there for 3 weeks for some tournaments, maybe after that he will go. So its more like 1.5 months.
