Can't believe people are wasting their time with posts about how Stephano is letting Whitera win and shit like that. Quit acting like you know what's going on, and quit acting like it even matters either way. Just watch the games and let everyone enjoy.

Very sporting of Stephano to give White-ra the opportunity to make a comeback. I always thought Stephano was only in it for the money but he has more showman spirit than I thought. Now before anyone jumps on my back I'm not saying Stephano lost the game on purpose. I think it's more like a fighter who allows his opponent to get back up on his feet rather than pouncing on him for the easy win.

I dunno pretty obvious that Stephano let White-Ra have that one. I wish people wouldnt do that for the sake of having a 'entertaining showmatch'. You know whats entertaining? When players are playing their best and trying their hardest.

Do you know anything about Stephano?

What the fuck is wrong with you guys, accusing someone of throwing a game because it's a shotmatch. Just because he doesn't play his absolute best each game doesn't mean he's doing it on purpose. Seriously? So disrespectful to both players involved.

I know its a showmatch but still..

exactly..

stephano always splits his bls

he did not do this time

which means he wants to give a win to wr

y Stephano, the moneymaker, will risk 4000$ just like that, you are clueless


Exactly. Give some credit to White-Ra. They are going to make it entertaining as in tending towards longer macro games but they are both playing to win no doubt.

i love whitera, but he honestly didn't really show much in this first game


Most people would have already died to the multipronged harass by Stephano. White-Ra did a good job defending while transitioning into a strong high-tech lategame army.

Our point is that we can't enjoy him throwing games for entertainment purpose. It's not entertaining, it's just boring.

Stephano playing sloppy, I think he is jetlagged. Favorite might be WR if that's the case now.

This build from White Ra seems extremely risky. He would be so incredibly dead if Stephano was going for a roach bust.

And my point is that you can't come close to knowing for certain that was the case. If you don't know it to be 100% true, why are you littering the thread with it? You make it sound like pros never lose games to amateurs, let alone other pros. MVP got knocked down to Code A, shit happens. Its absurdly arrogant to act like you understand the game at their level well enough to make a *definitive* judgment that the game was thrown.

And if you don't know for certain, you are disrespecting the players as well as the competition with your remarks.

Its a show match, right? Why do you think show matches exist? For people to enjoy them? Or for people to sit around trying to consider whether or not games are being thrown?
