Put yourself in the people organizing the tourney. They have several barcrafts running and have people there they want to show good games to, not a walkover. Players have to be respectful of that too, or there wouldn't be a tourney. Edit: N/A And that was one poor game  . | ||

They are 'overlapping' if he can't turn up in time for the next tournament because of it. Sure they could have started his match second, but that depends on if he gave them notice. | ||

You don't just not show up and make someone else wait. Oh man, Guess Stephano can't manage his time properly, but it's okay. Illusion's time is worthless compared to his. Honestly, it's a fucking joke that Stephano didn't get DQ'd. You can be absolutely sure that he didn't because DQ'ing him would cause more shit from the community than making Illusion pissed off waiting god knows how long for his match. Stephano get's DQ'd after not showing up for like an hour and the pitchforks would be out after the ONOG people so fast and we all know it. They'd never be able to run another event again. SO instead, they make Illusion waste his time sitting around because it's less grief for them. What a joke. | ||

How can you have the nerves to diss a tournament that invited you and basically allowed many people to hear about you for the first time ever. Maybe a 1-0 headstart, but dq in a friendly invitational like this is pretty strict | ||

We don't really know what was going on behind the scenes. Maybe they granted stephano a food break, but it was longer than they expected. Maybe Stephano was completely unreachable, maybe they just left a single BNet message from a random account which stephano didn't notice or read. We really have no idea. Also I do not understand why they did not just start with Kas vs Catz anyway? They knew Stephano had just finished Scan. Anyway even if it was within their rights to DQ Stephano what would they accomplish? They would likely get a huge outrage, miss out on 1 semi and miss out on a likely Kas vs Stephano finals. I'm sure that they would wait for Illusion too, because why ruin at least 1/3 of the day? And for the people complaining about overlapping tournaments: they did not overlap. Stephano finished scan like 5 min before ONOG started today. And it is pretty common to do multiple tournaments. People watching Dimaga's stream will know how he regularly juggles 3-4 online tournaments. | ||

First onog tournament and they don't want one of their fan favorites to get dropped because of it so no faults go to stephano but if that was me in his situation, i would have had consequences.

What is with this blind hate on him because he is not a big name yet. Everything the guy is saying is completely valid and he was the one that was shafted in the end not Stephano... | ||

Illusion should have been informed, but the ONOG thing is basically run by one guy so it's to be expected that some things don't go smoothly at all. | ||

I don't see anything linked on their website EDIT: If anyone see's them, please link them. Kaoka67 obviously isn't going to respond seeing that he's got 3 posts and is blatantly a troll account. | ||
