I recommend also following our Twitter, Event page, and Youtube throughout the weekend for continued coverage as they might be updated prior me updating this thread.

Nice coverage and interesting interview with Stephano. It kinda makes sense not to focus on specific titles or leagues at this point. He's going to Korea to practice and if he's invited and is successful in GSL that's just a bonus.

edit: and yeah nothing wrong with wanting to make a lot of money since that means winning shit.

Stephano says what everyone else is too afraid to say, much respect.
