Yeah, his behaviour makes be less interested in supporting him as a player. If you are going to make a bet publicly and back out of it afterwards don't cite the fact that you don't want to gamble. You already gambled and lost. | ||

Obviously he's allowed to change his mind or troll a little, but Stephano was pretty over the top with what he wrote. Did you even bother to read the conversation in the OP? By the way, fantastic grammar. | ||

Stephano is entitled to renege on his aforementioned challenge, however, as a fan I take actions like this into account and while he might not care about the sincerity of his words, I believe many of his fans and sponsors do. Maybe I'm crazy, but as I see e-sports developing into something tangible, I can't help but notice how important public image is becoming. Stephano is just one man though. If he were something more a $5k investment to save face and most likely win many new fans (win or lose) is a no brainer. For example... I don't really care much for Stephano. He's put up some good games, but I'm not awestruck by him, however, after reading his challenge I began to care more about learning more about him. | ||

He has been trying to get a showmatch for weeks with Naniwa now but he refused so he thought he would smack him on twitter(calling him a pussy) until he accepted. The showmatch will come just not for 5k each. He only sayd that to get Naniwa to accept the showmatch. | ||

I do not think he should be able to reneg on the challenge, once you place a bet and put something like this out there, and the other person calls you, you're kinda bound to go through with it. Maybe it's becuase I play poker, but once your chips are in that's that. | ||

That's debatable, verbal declartion is binding at the poker table**, and should be in any betting scenario, otherwise it's all undermined. It's undeniable that both sides agreed to 5k. I can understand his hesitation but in my books those chips are already in the pot the second the words came out. *shrug* ** Example: You make a bet of $15, and I say call but throw more than $15 in, only my call stands and the rest of the bet comes back to me. I say I fold and then quickly change my mind, even if I did not muck my cards, it's already too late. | ||

They made a bet in front of a ton of people, it generated a shitton of hype, and now one side is trying to back down. I'm not being emotional at all, I'm just saying what I feel. I feel like the bet is valid ,you apparently don't but have already run out of things to say, so uhhhh...yeah. | ||
