I'm a big fan of Stephano and I rooted for him, but I'll be honest it's a bit lame when he says he that all the tournament means for him is the money lol. Hopefully EG talks to him about how often he says that. Would be much easier to get behind him if he showed some passion for the game. It seems like he doesn't care much about competing :/.

So he plays for the money, he's cocky and not very passionate. Who cares? He's still a genius. He outplays people who practice twice as hard, he powers through marathon tournament after marathon tournament, he's constantly analysed and discussed but still people can't take him down. That's why I love him. He's so damn good at this game. I honestly don't care whether or not he's good or bad for esports, good or bad at PR, how he brands himself, where he vomits, all that bullshit. He's a magician when it comes to actually playing the game.


I think if eSports will ever be something like normal sports players should learn something about sportmanship , winning and earning $ shouldn't give you the right to be arrogant and act like a mercenary.


Football is a huge sport but most players are cocky and rich as hell.

About WCS World, I guess, at least for the show, that Blizzard should invite Mvp.

Well in other sports it's done but offstage, at least e-sport is not that hypocritical.
And I think you misunderstood Stephano, he is acting, just to draw attention, sometimes you see he were acting like at the end when he was overwhelmed by emotion.

WCS World is going to be European Zerg vs. Korean Protoss, and a few other match ups on the sides.

European Starcraft is the best because you have that smoothness of production, added with comedy and good humor, a international flavor but still people acknowledge the existence of English, great crowds that know what they're doing and all of that and you still get good solid entertaining games unlike USA. Throw in some Gangnam style and its like Koreans are there in spirit heh.

Damnit I missed the award thing, how awkward was it?


Depends on how socially handicapped you are. Everyone just keeps on spamming that everything is so awkward, while I think it's funny. I don't get it. Crowd dancing to gangnam style "OMG SO AWKWARD xDDDD", they are just having fun...


To be fair, a bunch of nerds dancing in a room with 15:1 male to female ratio is fairly awkward.

So it's awkward when a mens team win a champonship and celebrate afterwards?

I dont know how it is in Romania but in the US all championships are arrogant. Ever heard of Kobe Bryant?

It'll most likely have a total of four terrans period unless Redarchon or Infi somehow defy all odds and pull off a miracle.

If there's a single terran in the RO16 I'll be happy.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Got to love all the nerds complaining that he is too cocky or cares about the money. He has personality, get over it.
The "Humble Korean" act doesn't fly with foreign audiences... it's boring. Nobody wants a guy to go up there and pretend he is so humbled by the experience, so grateful, bla bla bla. The dude just smashed the best Europe has to offer and took home a $25 grand. He should be hyped and he should be cocky.

All the haters can keep on hating, because it's obvious that Stephano draws the crowds. Any tournament he is in, the stream numbers show it. Hell, look at the stream numbers as soon as he starts playing... they always spike and drop when he is done. Whole tournaments suffer when this guy is knocked out early (doesn't happen often...).

Much better, IMO, than half these guys who get up on stage and offer no conversation or emotion at all.

Naniwa can be as "passionate" about the game as he wants... doesn't seem to be getting him too far. Maybe money and success are better driving factors.

Stop using the word hater, should be fucking banned. Not you in particular but just because people aren't sucking somebody's dick doesn't mean they're being a 'hater'. God worst term to crop up in common discourse in my living memory!

I view Stephano as a Michael Schumacher kind of figure, everyone will respect their ability as you simply have to. Not everybody will love the guy. You say 'he has personality deal with it', perhaps he has a personality other people don't like!

Grubby and Stephano both have personalities, but they're entirely different personalities that will attract different folks

You do know that calling the ceremonies awkward and regular people who enjoy something fun "nerds" you're not exactly helping either?

These people do have interpersonal skills. Gaming is still under a heavy stigma with the general public which is why it takes a while to catch on.
I'm guessing once the new generation hits adulthood, it'll be the biggest form of entertainment out there.

Amazing production and quality. Observing was a huge++ as well although it was a European event, it was quite good in terms of timing too! I was able to wake up early in the morning and was able to watch everything.

Huge thanks to the free 720p stream too
