He deserves the full brunt of our anger for playing through an entire tournament then saying he isn't gonna play the FINALS, the one fucking match that the entire tournament is based upon. It's one thing to forfeit some qualifiers or group matches or some shit but not the fucking FINALS of a tournament. He just screwed the fans, the community, the organizers, and prob shed esports in a bad light for sponsors. | ||

His slavery must continue! For esports!!!! Generations of slaves have done it! Why should he be different? | ||

So he said he was too tired to play and he would forfeit if they didn't postpone. Yeah, that's almost saying "go fuck yourselves"... | ||

I hate to repeat myself over and over again, but he chose to play that tournament knowing the schedule, for the winner Kas it was even worse as he was 1 timezone further, he chose to play another tournament before this one himself, he delayed the tournament himself and he only played a wimpy 11 games total that evening. | ||

If he was that tired and had dual tournaments going on then he shouldn't have signed up in the first place. If he didn't expect to make it to the finals then why did he even enter the tournament, to lose? This is 100% Stephanos fault no way around it. Can you imagine the amount of flak the organizers would get from fans and sponsors if the day they had the finals they didn't and the had them on another day without telling anyone until they tuned in to watch? | ||

You know that there is more than one driver per car in a 24h race, right? That you have 3 driver per team and car? Not that i want to defend Stephano, but the 24h race would like to be left out of it, because its a bad example.  edit: ninja'd -.- | ||

Le Mans 24h race would like a word with you... Even though I agree with you, your analogy is invalid. Le Mans is held annually. Furthermore, there are multiple drivers for each car. However, I would like to say this is extremely unprofessional. Tournaments are more important than players. You just can't do this. I salute the tournament administration for making this tough but, in my opinion, right call. | ||

During the interviews, they were so tired they couldn't stand.. they brought them some chairs... both of them are real champions. | ||

Not the pitcrew, not the drivers, not the safety crew, and especially not the managers. A driver in a 24h race actually sleeps more than i do per 24h, so just drop that bad example. | ||

Not that i want to defend Stephano, but the 24h race would like to be left out of it, because its a bad example. Grab another example then. But the drivers only take breaks, and the best ones drive up to 14 hours out of those 24. Also, the point is not to say that we want SC2 24h a day, but THE RAPIST asked for an example of a sport where people do sports in the middle of the night. And, by necessity, a 24h race will require some driver to drive in the wee hours of the night... Good example, no? | ||
