ONOG 3K Online Invitational Jan. 28th & Jan. 29th - Page 111

Nope. Seems like the logical choice if your number one goal is to deliver the best possible content to your barcraft fan base. I mean the only reason the finals wasn't pushed back was for that number one goal to not be ruined (though let's be honest, if they pushed it back a night and hyped up a Kas and Stephano final - even off replays - I think they would have attracted quite the crowd to watch the game; I'm sure it would have included people that had not even considered going the night before). Seems stupid to me to penalize a player based your own poor planning but what can you do? I think in terms of other sports, any fan would tell you if the game can't be played at it's highest level I'd rather have it be pushed back, no matter how many buddies they had invited over to watch it.. Not like you can't do it again to actually enjoy a good game of baseball for example. If the weather made it impossible to play well, the game is delayed and eventually rescheduled. Because the most important thing should always be the entertainment from watching the game actually played, not half assed.

, gave the barcrafters a piss poor excuse for a final, and cheated a player out of his rightful 2nd place prize money (the player they invited because they knew would personally attract more viewers than anybody else they had gotten).

Edit: To those that mentioned the offer of playing right away and casting off replays... Stephano already tweeted that he couldn't put on any kind of decent performance at the point in which he chose to log off. Why not play it the next day, get the replays, and cast it as a hyped finals at a good barcraft time? Or even play it live knowing the players can now rest up before it? Again building the hype to an already anticipated final between two of europes best.



Also like someone mentioned, Kas could have easily said "lol I'm not playing someone from the bronze metal game, my opponent forfeit, ok, I win.". He didn't but you see the issue with making up rules on the spot when clearly they were not layed out before. Pretty sure had they told stephano upfront before he said he was tired the consequence of the forfeit his decision could have actually been made with all the facts and rules present.. And who knows what it would have been?

He did ask to postpone..
