He should get no money tbqh. That's simply not true. Winning the halffinale not only qualifies him for a chance at the first, it means he is at least 2nd. He won against somebody who had the same chance for 2nd OR 1st. You don't earn 2nd place by losing the final.
What? No they don't have to give stephano anything if they choose to. It's their tournament and stephano signed to PLAY not to forfeit. If they don't have a finale cause stephano is too tired wah wah wah, then they lose viewers and look bad. Therefore if anything stephano actions harm ONOG reputation if they don't have a finals and give 2nd to stephano. If he didn't want to be up for the finals he shouldn't of even began to play the tournament

Like playing Starcraft all day and neglecting their studies?

And I have to clarify that I really don't like the move Stephano pulled. I'm normally on Stephano's side and maybe he was just super tired, I understand that, but he can't expect to get any money. It's horrible for any tournament if a player stops playing in the later rounds and it's the responsibility of the player to get his sleep schedule right, if he agrees to play in such a tournament. I think placing him at 4th is really good for Stephano. I wouldn't give him any money if I was the tournament organizer and I'm a Stephano fan.
And I'm saying this as somebody who isn't a Stephano fan at all. Stephano provided you with all with good games till the final. He earned the spot in the final hence at least second place. He forfeit his chance for 750$, which is potential money for him, because he wasn't feeling up to par. Right decision was either a reschedule or leave it how it was.

it's like the worst aspects of multiple genres all fused together The music is awesome. Most of them are from video games.
"being from video games" means that it was written by some japanese dude on an ultra-stringent deadline with massive constraints imposed by the necessities of making it work within the context of the game (ie fitting with SFX, being loopable without sounding awkward, being able to cut at any time, pacing chosen for them by the game's flow and mechanics)
it's not a compliment.
edit: but people seem to enjoy it and this is OT anyway so I'll shut up

Dude, that line opens up more jokes about french and their way of retreating. Anyway I won't write any of them, because I'll probably get banned if I do, but please.. get some self-irony.

They should've just rescheduled.
Really? Do you not read anything other people are posting? Yes, they could reschedule the game, but the point of the tournament was for the barcraft community, and why it was sponsored. You can't just ask people who have come out for a night of fun (may be one of their few nights off a week) and then say please come back tomorrow so you can watch the finals.
It's easy to say they should just reschedule for someone who is just sitting behind a computer.

While it was scheduled to play today, as a tournament arranger you can of course reschedule your own tournament, especially when it is no good for either of the finalists to play now (it's even one hour later for Kas than stephano).
Overall this leaves the tournament with a quite bad feel, considering catz/illusion doesn't deserve at all to be playing the finals, hence the finals is uninteresting because now we will not see the two best players of the tournament face each other.
I think very very few people woulda been mad had you just said "it's early morning in Europe, the finals will be played later!", but like this the legitimacy of the tournament is out of the window. Shame!~
The main purpose of this event was to promote Barcraft ffs...
So no it isn't possible for them to just reschedule the whole thing. Also people who complain about the schedule should really ask themself, when do you usually visit a bar? RIIIIIGHT in the evening/at night. Of course that leaves us with a bad schedule for EU players, but they knew this before they accepted to play in the tournament...
I'm really quite the Stephano fan but this whole thing was his fault and he just acted unprofessional here.

Stephano just have been more diplomatic about forfeiting rather than just logging off. Losing the prize money is more than enough of a penalty that he must have been DAMN tired to throw that away.
"I'm sorry guys, but I'm actually SO damn tired that I just can't play, even with the prize money hanging in there. Yeah it's that bad. I'm an idiot for expecting I could play two tournies in the same day."
(Maybe he WAS but the casters didn't frame that way...)

No, Stephano isn't playing for the fans. None of these players are. If they were, there wouldn't need to be prize money. Stephano qualified to top 2, the organizers shouldn't be able to remove what he gained from merit because he gave a walk over finals.

This other caster is a bit a negative nancy.. not really professional. Mentioning SC2 in a condescending way, the slur towards the french.. who is this guy? Bitter's been great, but his partner here has been a little bit of a fool.

I personally would be pissed if they rescheduled I'd rather watch illusion vs Kas tonight than have to wait for tomorrow to see Stephano just because Stephano couldn't fulfill his obligations
welcome to the real world where if you say you're gonna do something at a specific time, you're expected to do it. he's lucky he's getting any money at all, it really should've gone to someone who was willing to play out the whole thing.
edit: and before someone says "IT'S 2 AM HE'S TIRED" Kas is sitting on his ass waiting to play and it's an hour later for him currently since Ukraine is a timezone ahead of France
