Mill had an obligation to provide a full lineup to IPL for the games, and if they couldn't muster a full team within the specified timeframe, they should have tried to inform IPL beforehand. Afterall, IPL's bounty was supposed to be worth a full clan war. They're disappointing fans + IPL big time that way, which could have simpy been avoided by not playing at all so that IPL can arrange for another team on another date. I don't think Slayers care that much about having 1 less game played, so long as they collect the full bounty. Obligation? Whatever you're smoking, I want some.
Duh? IPL didn't invite them with having only 1-4 players on that lineup during match day, it was clear as hell that Mill was supposed to present 5 players. There were no repercussions for Mill, great for them. That doesn't mean they didn't fuck up on this one.

and why even play the showmatch if you didnt have a full team to play in the first place?
why not just forfeit the entire match "due to lack of players?"
why ACCEPT?
I'd rather watch five games of SC2 than no games of SC2.

If pointing at something worse would make bad things good, we would live in a really good world, you know?

On topic. Millenium acted in a highly unprofessional way. You either have a team ready or you don't. If you don't - don't compete. As someone pointed out earlier - Alternate had similar problems, but they found a replacement. IPL is organizing these events to be broadcasted.

No-shows and forfeits will stop when those who organize events will make sure events don't overlap. In football, world cup is not played during national championships. At the moment, there is no real global planning, players are invited left and right, travel a lot and can't make all events. Are the players / teams responsible ? sure. Are the organizers reponsible ? As well. Why the heck wasn't this match organized on a saturday at 10 AM EU / 6 PM Korea....? Whose fault it is ?
That said, Millenium should have presented a full team, they actually planned to, but shit happens, especially at 1 AM ...They have a team of 7, one went inactive, another wasn't meant to participate (Kleenex), so they find themselves w/o backup, which led to the problem. Maybe their coatch (lwl, barely master) should have played to satisfy your needs ?

If Stephano was less talented French player probably 99% of people would say he's done with SC2 community. My point was that people in general tend to see talent and quality of a player as a redeeming factor for his flaws, not that TL loves French players and teams.
I agree that everyone will forget as soon as MLG starts.

Some people in this thread really over-reacted to "defend" Stephano's loss. No serious people would say he's suddenly bad because of this loss. All we have been trying to do is neutralize the over-hyped part of it.

Most people actually just don't give a fuck about all you drama whores and just enjoy games when games are shown.
Seriously.. Get over it. It was 1 forfeit.. 1 game in an allready lost CW. I really don't see the big issue here. It was not "good" but it's not drama worthy...

Exactly, unfortunate but nothing to get all worked up about. Demanding "an apology to SlayerS for wasting their time" or anything like that is just ridiculous. No one will remember this after MLG and for good reason.

Rather sad how Millenium was represented in this CW.
Disappointed.

Doubt iNcontroL practices 10 hours a day..but you have a point.

I find it funny how nobody on here is talking about the really really young player Slayers had that took 3 points.
Slayers_Golden !! kids like 16 or 17 years old, up and comer that I think has potential to be one of the top Korean Zerg players.

Isn't Leenock only 15/16?
He could down-smash 3-kill/4-kill pentakill, ace anyone just as hard (or harder) than golden
Not to stray so far off topic, but just saying.
I'm pretty torn on the issue. While Mill doesn't want to just throw a game, it's definitely unprofessional to just hope and pray that Stephano all-kill's the Slayers team so that the fact that they don't even have a full roster is overshadowed.
And yet, I believe it all really matters on how SlayerS decides to take it. If they feel disrespected at all, or any negative feelings in the slightest as a result of Mill's lack of professionalism, then I think there is a definite problem present. However, and this is the more likely one considering they just took home another nice chunk of change back home, they are just fine with stomping all over Millennium and their "chosen one" and taking home what was essentially an EZPZ win. I mean really, Mill is the only team here that is making themselves look like some half-rate, half-assed club with players/management that don't really care about IPL Team Arena (which is becoming a major candidate for a real foreign SC2 Proleague).
I don't know if it is directly hurting Esports as much as some people are claiming, but it's definitely hurting the image of Millennium and their legitimacy as a team. I say let bygones be bygones and hurry and find some foreign team that can actually compete with even the B-teamers of the SlayerS roster..

the only people even bringing up nationality are the french posters playing the race card .. in 3 days everyone will forget just like most forgot the few eu playheim / craftcups hes won making him the 'best zerg in the world' and 'the next spanishwa' and the french posters have forgotten his mlg performance

I think that Boxer and Jessica are pretty clever and wise. So they won't feel disrespected by such a futile forfeit by lack of players.
It's just a TL and reddit's "drama lovers" purpose in fact.
