If a person feels that they're unfit to play then they don't have to play. How are you unable to play just because you're tired, jesus. Are you one of those people who seriously take sick-leave from work just because you're tired? | ||

Your reply to my post was barely relevant since you mention some lesser tournament which had nothing to do with what I was talking about. Point is that pretty much no one would accept a BS forfeit in a GSL final, yet people are really quick to think it's cool in this case just because it wasn't a huge tournament. It's more relevant to the thread and case. You presented a situation in which will never occur. Your conclusion is thus invalid. You can't say, the sky is blue, thus the point is Stephano should burn at the stake. That's not an argument. | ||

It's not like Stephano and Naniwa are the only two players to ever forfeit matches. This most recent incident is just another opportunity for the Sc2 community to engage in what they're best at: whining. #1 Community-run event #2 Funded by volunteer work, not by million dollar companies He shit on the community that put this tournament together, 100%. | ||

The production was horrible, with a laggy stream, casters that prided themselves in NOT watching GSL and saying stupind non-sense all the time, and with scheduling issues. Stephano did not act really professionally but most people over-react to this so much, it's unbelievable. Gosh, the kid was probably just sleeping over his keyboard. Want to punish him? Dont invite him again. But he landed top 2, he should stay top 2, dont invent rules to demote him to the 4th place because you dont like him. I'm a stephano fan right ... right. What he did, IS a complete dick move, I agree with that, the only problem I have is, what is the point of this thread, the only thing you're going to see is hate and racism here and there. Wouldn't it be more interesting that whoever posted this news instead of wasting his time here,Tries to create a common channel for tournaments to agree on a set of rules clearly stating what should happen in this kind of circumstances ? | ||

Stephano was invited to play, Stepano knew what he was getting himself into when accepting invites to two tournaments in the same day. But he still accepted. I feel it's only right for ONOG and the community to be bothered that someone would accept an invite, while knowing the conditions. If Stephano didn't think he could do it, he shouldn't have. | ||

A professional tennis player getting exhausted and forfeiting because of it is a huge deal, it means the player is pretty irresponsible with his training, preparation and on top of that show lack of temperance. He won't get any invites anytime soon. | ||

Would you rather have him 6 pool 4 times and then go to sleep or just forfeit and sleep? This keeps getting said. It might be that he was actually dead tired and would have played miserably if he tried to play. That would also have been extremely disappointing to the people watching, and would have gotten criticism, but he would have seemed more sympathetic because he was trying so hard. But it's possible he really was that insanely tired. But if so, that's not an excuse. It just means he did the really dumb, irresponsible thing when he signed up for the tournament or didn't forfeit earlier, rather than when he forfeited. Either way, he did some very bad. | ||

ROFL Why do you keep comparing this to a marathon? Marathon's are usually voluntary entered where there is no money involved, this is completely different. I never said you shouldn't be allowed to forfeit (where the hell are you getting that from?), but if you do, you should be punished because you failed to uphold your agreement. Obviously you can't force him to do something, but there is a thing called reprecussions in the world. | ||

They point out that they have to work at their conditioning, but no one is gonna walk up to them and tell them they're unprofessional and should be punished. | ||

There was no punishment to be done, and the tournament went on. What gets a thread isn't just about which player acted worse. It's about what is actually big news, and the impact and controversy involved in Stephano's situation is much, much bigger. Even before the thread, there was a ton of debate going on about Stephano, but none about Tyler, and that's just natural. People don't all read reddit... If TL is where you look for starcraft news, which is totally reasonable, and you don't randomly dig through live report threads, you'd never know this was an issue until this headline. If TL wants to be a real place for news, anything causing this much controversy has to be a headline somewhere that people actually see. Tyler didn't want to lose vs a caster (aka Rotterdam) | ||

Why the hell are you gonna force someone into that? It's their job? Like I said before, DRG played the MLG semifinals suffering from food poisoning, he was throwing up right before his match. He didn't issue any ultimatums. I don't think stephano should be forced to play his matches obviously, but I think players should be DQd from tournaments for doing so. In addition, this event had special circumstances to take into account; I feel like it was disrespectful to the fans and the volunteers. | ||

He lost 700 dollars because they bumped him to 4th place and I think that's perfectly reasonable as he did not perform. | ||

Actually, yes, tired players who quit because of it absolutely lose the respect of their peers, fans and organizers.. that's how it works in any sport. | ||
