Stephano doesn't care about Drama, he never has, he never will. When you see him for real you wonder how he can play that fast and be so stoned ... Apparently, that's not the only thing he doesn't care for... Which just shows he is better adjusted than all of us.
Sure, if you don't care for anything you are the best adjusted person in the world. Logic applied vacuously in this case heh. You can still be a total asshole though.

ONOG definitely made the right call. I'll definitely tune in again to their next event.

I dont need another example, i dont approve what Stephano did. 10 out of 24h btw leaves roughly 8 hours sleep, which is perfectly fine.
I think he meant examples for athletes doing stuff for more than 10h+. If i change my sleep-rythm (awake at night, sleeping the day), it would be no difference for me driving at night. You know what i mean?
The tennismatch which went till 4' am is the better example i think.
Or the best example i can think of: Ivan Nikolic versus Goran Arsovic. A Chessmatch, which went over 20 hours, straight, without delay.

I dont know why mods still keep this thread open, there's nothing good coming from it, only people expressing their hate towards Stephano. There surely must be a more important topic than a player forfeiting a tournament.
There were about 5 threads for what Naniwa did (which is no where near as shitty as what stephano did), so be grateful there is only one where people can vent.

Your examples are great too.
I was just invalidating THE RAPIST's claim: "In no other sport is one required to play into the late hours of the night." which has nothing to do with how many hours of sleep one gets. It's all about the actual hour of occurrence.

Too all the people saying this is not a big deal or Stephano is being criticized too harshly. I dare you do the same thing at work or school. Tell your boss you are too tired to come to work because you just got off from your other job. You know today's the project deadline, but you are just too damn tired to work. If it doesn't get pushed back tomorrow, then I won't show up at all.
Life sucks. Deal with it like an adult, not some immature baby.

Me and Stephano... we ARE the boss. It's the spectator that is worried. Remember PUMA? He was like... sorry team, sorry manager, switching to EG ~ I'm my own man.

It's a big jump from not caring about drama and bunch of forum posters to everything.

At some point you have to question whether the people perpetuating this thread care a little too much about Starcraft. After all, 70 pages is enough and no new points are being made.

Indeed, the tournament is only the person paying him to perform the task of playing.

That what happens in an Australian Open Grand Final is not even remotely comparable to a small online tournament of no importance or consequence. Had it been a Blizzcon or GSL final you can bet your ass Stephano would have played till his eyes bled.

An analogy is a comparison between two unlike things. A tournament may not technically be your employer in the normal sense, but it's still someone paying you to do something.

tournment need to make player sign a contract so this won't happen, but I understand from step point of view as well.

I am just using your -bogus- argument and make an extreme example out of it. Being better adjusted isn't really relevant to the discussion.
