It probably didn't matter anyway... but hey... It would matter, for example Mana would still have chance to advance. There are several possible scenarii actually. What if Stephano just forfeited because he was actually already qualified for the next round ?? I know it's kind of weird and it's more likely that he lost and wasn't qualified. But for instance if : Jjakji loses to Stephano 0-2 Life loses to Mana 0-2 Knowing that, Stephano forfeit against MMA (=0-2) We would have a 3 ways 2-2 tie and the points would be : (matches / sets) MMA 3-1 / 7-3 Stephano 2-2 / 5-4 Jjakji 2-2 / 4-5 Mana 2-2 / 4-5 (+ match lost against Jjakji) Life 1-3 / 4-7 and Stephano would be already qualified. But well, I suppose this is unreal, but this is still a possible scenario if I'm not wrong.
Actually even this would be ok for Stephano to qualify :
Jjakji loses to Stephano 1-2
Life loses to Mana 1-2
MMA 3-1 / 7-3
Stephano 2-2 / 5-5 (+ match won against Jjakji)
Jjakji 2-2 / 5-5
Mana 2-2 / 4-6
Life 1-3 / 5-7

Simple, he had no chance to advance because he lost to jjakji earlier on during his slump against terrans, thus nothing to win by playing MMA and everything to lose (either he plays not seriously and it is a poor match, or he plays seriously and risks to give strat info for potential later opponents). Not saying he was morally is right, he could have made 2 7 pools or a drones rush, but that's the risk when you do such long duration online tournaments...sometimes players don't see the point to play and forfeit. It's not like he was paid to play, he was legally right to forfeit, but obviously for the fans it's disappointing. When did he lose to Jjakji o_o? I don't see it anywhere It is not sure yet if he lost and I don't think anyone even knows if they have actually played already, but this theory has unfortunately some good probability to be true. if i understand the format correctly, the games have been played (with the exception of the stephano-MMA match). they just haven't been 'casted or shown. But you know when ? Stephano vs life = 29/02/2012 Stephano vs Jjakji = 04/03/2012 Sorry to insist but how do u know that ? Is it reliable ? Games were played when Stephano was in France, and obviously game were played on the american server against the korean guys ! Stephano never play cross server unless it is necessary, so early march, just looked at Stephano's history on the US Server and saw the results. To find the exact opponent was not very difficult.
Nice investigation !

I'm guessing he already lost to Jjakji, was unable to advance in any case and decided to forfeit.

No. Stephano's matches still count for others but according to the article he has lost his chance to make it out of the group. So in those scenarios Jjakji will advance.

yeah Stephano bitching out gave MMA a free first place ><

Fast unpunished third into ez win for Jjakji?
|
No in-game sounds :|
edit: just very quiet
|
It is very hard for me to like Stephano with these antics. It's a pity he can get away with it in a young and undeveloped scene as SC2.
|
very outdateded playstyles, looks like at least 1 month old replays
|
That was the 3-base +2/+2 ling infestor baneling timing Stephano developed with Dimaga. It failed because Jjakji took an early third and had way too many units by the point the timing came.
He cut a lot of drones for this, so he's basically dead.

Holy shit, Jjakji is like Polt 2.0 vs. Stephano.
