EPTAfter watching Sase played totally exhausted and get dismantled, I understand stephano's decision. Those matches would have been meaningless, even absurd.

I'm just thrilled to see a second foreign terran hit that skill level. Apart from Nerchio, he is most definitely the best foreigner to never recieve korean training. Don't know how much practice DIMAGA had but at least he was there for a while  | ||

He didn't get to the finals of scan, but he did get to the semis, and he's an hour later. | ||

Hillarious Idra throws out some harmless BM in game. Stephano ruins a tournament finals because the tournament was delayed...even though it was delayed to accommodate him. Bad manner can be forgiven, I don't think I've ever seen Idra do real damage to a tournament. | ||

Of course, if even supporters see esports as a joke, no way it will grow up to actually be respected by a lot of ppl. This said, ofc the situation is different, Stephano isn't (to our knowledge) hurt or anything, just awfully tired and not in the condition to play (or he would have played, believe me). | ||

Yeah because the players should dictate when matchups happen and not the league/organizers. Do you realize all the silly implications of your post? Because a player failed to plan ahead then the entire organization including the casters and viewers and streamers should roll over and submit? | ||
