Professionalism and integrity is not to accept subpar playing conditions, stop overreacting. Playing conditions he himself accepted with full knowledge of the times, brackets and opponents. He should have planned ahead for playing in them, period, that's what means to be a pro player. And yeah, tournaments should ban his ass off, he seems not to care about the community, the organizers and the fans. He needs a wake up call.. | ||

No, you can forfeit if you're exhausted and can't continue. Same thing as stephano. | ||

If you're in the GSL any other tournament is probably lesser in Korea, and that said other tournament would be the one MVP would most likely forfeit. Doesn't matter, the point is that the tournament builds up to the final and people damn well want to see it after seeing players work to get there. It's a slap in the face to the organizers and the fans to play to the final and then just give up. People who are saying he should get second place regardless are even dumber, should the tournament just end without a finals? No one can force you to play a game (though, if you're a professional, you shouldn't need to be forced), but you should obviously not expect to get any prize money when you shit all over the event. | ||

It does matter, your premise itself was a contradiction because you're saying MVP will forfeit the GSL finals, but in proof and practice he will not forfeit the GSL finals. Thus your conclusion is invalid. Yes the tournament should end without a finals. That's how it works when you forfeit the match. | ||

I agree what Stephano did is lame, and pushing him back to 4th place seems reasonable. Stephano seems to have accepted this punishment, so where's the drama? | ||

And props to ONOG for the best off-the-cuff response they could possibly have managed. | ||

Kas was up even later than Stephano btw I can run 30 km. Why can't you? That's basically the logic you're using here. If stephano felt he was unfit he was unfit. I honestly have no idea what's so hard to understand from stephano's perspective. You think he purposely wanted to abuse his power and get easy money without playing the finals BY GIVING UP A CHANCE AT 700 MORE DOLLARS FOR ONE SERIES? | ||

Yes, he made a scheduling error many weeks ago and because he is so good, he had to play the max possible series in two separate multi-day tournaments that conclude on the same day. So we agree, this wouldn't be much of a problem if he wasn't steamrolling the competition right? Clearly if he was a mid tier player, he could forfeit anytime no problem... aka Tyler.... and if he was Polt, it would be ok too for some reason. Kids too good and too fun to watch, that's his sin. The mob wants MORE STEPHANO!!! Its good all the haters be known..... because they dwindle quickly next time he's in a tournament. He's the European Flash of SC2. :D | ||
