Regarding someone saying that GOM should invite every winner of Premier Tournament in 2012 for Blizzard Cup - obviously it's not going to happen. That's simply to many players. I hope Stephano will come back to defend his ESWC title... and later to fight for DreamHack winter title. | ||

I still was a little bit worried that he might only go there to stream and have decent training for ESWC, but if it maps out so well, that's good. Oh, haha I forgot Lone Star Clash. I guess that's pretty stacked, then. | ||

on another note Is it normal for pros to fly business/first class? I travel quite frequently to Australia for work so I know how painful the 14+ hours on a plane can be in both economy and business/first. It sucks and I wouldn't want to be competing in a huge tournament the day after arriving as I know some players end up doing this. That being said, international business/first tickets are often in the $10k + range when economy tickets are ~$1k. I work for a major company that employs 70k+ people and they have a pretty strict policy on whether or not you can fly business (i think it's 10+ hrs of travel). I wouldn't expect that pro gaming teams, even with their sponsors can afford to pay $5-$10k every time they send a player away for an international tournament. | ||

I travel quite frequently to Australia for work so I know how painful the 14+ hours on a plane can be in both economy and business/first. It sucks and I wouldn't want to be competing in a huge tournament the day after arriving as I know some players end up doing this. That being said, international business/first tickets are often in the $10k + range when economy tickets are ~$1k. I work for a major company that employs 70k+ people and they have a pretty strict policy on whether or not you can fly business (i think it's 10+ hrs of travel). I wouldn't expect that pro gaming teams, even with their sponsors can afford to pay $5-$10k every time they send a player away for an international tournament. Absolutely no way, the expenses would be prohobitive and eSports teams are too small to get special arrangements. | ||

Stephano got a small mini suspension from EG from attending some tournaments. Stephano salary is so big anyway that those small tournaments are basically chump change. EG probably said, okay well you are suspended , but hear what , Lets turn this punishment into a good thing, We will send you to korea to train, November is a huge month with alot of potiential to make big bucks, So go to korea and train your ass off so you can win atleast one of the big tournaments . Thats my thoughts and reasoning for stephano going korea. I dont think he is going to play in the GSL. If he was going to play in GSL he would have booked his ticket later, The code S finals hasnt happened yet and they are still more code A /Up and downs to play. If he is competing in the next season of GSL, that will come in another announcement. | ||

Regardless, that's a pretty damn long time to be sitting. I hope he at least has a laptop so he can entertain himself by casually crushing the AI on insane level. Luckily it should be easier to travel east. At least for me it has been much more difficult to do long trips to west. It's somehow more difficult to adjust to the time difference in that direction. When you go east it only means that you're not very sleepy in the evenings, which is pretty much the normal status for a progamers I guess. | ||

Its more likely than being afraid of losing... He played a huge number of tournements and declined so many gsl but look how much he won this year, if he went to gsl he could make perhaps ro8 or even ro4 and lose a lot of money he could have made in internationals tournaments. He stated a long time a ago he wanted to do gsl but declined at the last moments because of internationnal tournaments. Perhaps he got his hands forced by EG but we dont rly know because he declined 3 tournaments and it doesnt show a good image of him and EG. Anyway i hope he doesnt get too tired from all the travels he will make. | ||

Now with the big EG salary, he can have both the money and a shot at the most prestigious title in SC2. | ||

Do you think the Kespa teams are going to ignore him ? Even Jaedong was studying his playstyle. It won't be easier for Stephano, but it'll be easier for the first wave of Kespa players who have so little TV match that their style isn't as known as the ESF players - bar Rain who has played a plethora of games and showed he is Championship material. | ||

That argument about him getting figured out by those merciless Koreans is stupid. How many Koreans were told they would be playing Stephano weeks in advance and got beaten? Hero (who had only Stephano to prepare for in NASL), Polt,alicia, ganzi, ryung... He doesn't get figured out more than any other top players and actually deals with unexpected builds pretty well. The problem with the GSL format for him is that HE doesn't really prepare for his opponents. Recently, the people who have beaten him are actually players who didn't know they would have to play him, and just played their own style (like Oz) or were just really f***ing good. | ||

Just kidding. But i'm sure there is somekind of a plan behind this move. I mean, I don't think Stephano would again fly there simply to practice with less lag. Why would he do that at this point when he has already been to Korea once for the purpose of "getting the feel of it". I would say it is quite certain he will be participating in the GSL this time. | ||

But unfortunately I don't think he will attend code S. I agree more with Johnny123's statement. Since he dropped out of two tournaments this month, he'd better go and train in Korea, but he has too many important tournaments in November to attend code S. | ||

It makes sense for Life to select Stephano since Stephano's zvz is not that good at the moment. LIfe might also pick Heart if he's available. I can't see any Terran or Protoss players selecting Stephano however. | ||

So even if person x had played against person y and z before and won those games he simply would not be able to win against the same players in live GSL venue for whatever reasons. But at the same time I really feel that if anyone can be "above" that kind of curse by their sheer attitude and nerves it would be Stephano. | ||

If so, they should make Stephano face one of the two KeSPA sponsored seeds in a Bo5. Winner gets into Code S. | ||

That is actually a cool idea, draw up a list of potential seeds each season and make them fight for it, top 2 get the seeds. | ||

Don't think they should offer code S seeds to KeSPA players anymore, they already participated in qualifiers, and they can continue participate without any trouble, not like foreigners. If they are good, they can surge up for sure, if they are not, shouldn't get seed anyway. Maybe OSL champions can get a seed if they are not in code S, other than that, it is an overkill to give 2 seeds regularly. | ||

EG must have force him to finaly accept it. ( Because I'm pretty sure he didn't want to play in GSL anyway, he doesn't care about fame ) It has been well stated a few months ago that he wants going to participate in gsl season 5. | ||

EG.Stephano has been suspended for the month of October due to his recent inappropriate comments. Press release: http://evilgeniuses.net/ilyes-stephano-satouri-suspended-for-october/ | ||

Today, Evil Geniuses announces that French Zerg player Ilyes “Stephano” Satouri has been suspended without pay for the remainder of October, following his recent inappropriate comments. He will be ineligible to participate in all online and offline competitions during the month of October, including the upcoming GD Invitational and DreamHack Bucharest tournaments for which he was previously signed up. We sincerely apologize to the respective organizers of these tournaments for any inconvenience the last-minute cancellations may cause. That apology, however, obviously comes as secondary to a much more significant and direly-needed apology for Stephano’s inexcusable comments themselves. An apology in his own words can be found at the bottom of this post, but additionally, everyone at Evil Geniuses – including management, players, and staff – would like to sincerely apologize for these comments. They do not reflect our company’s sense of morality, behavior and propriety, and they will not be tolerated. The full extent of the ramifications for Stephano’s comments is yet to be determined. The decision to suspend him, without pay, for the rest of October is final, but the situation is still being reviewed internally at EG, and we do not consider the matter closed as of yet. We’d like to thank everyone in the gaming community for your patience, and we once again apologize for this incident. For those interested in reading it, Ilyes’ personal apology follows immediately below this note. Sincerely, Evil Geniuses Ilyes “Stephano” Satouri’s Apology: “I want to very sincerely apologize to all of my fans, my teammates and management at EG, all of EG’s sponsors, and the rest of the community for my comments last week. They were insensitive, inappropriate, way over the line, and are deserving of the serious ramifications I have received from my team. I accept responsibility for my mistake, and I will be more careful in the future.” | ||

GD Studio Invitational will suffer from missing Stephano, as will NASL and DreamHack Bucharest. Stephano will be getting good practice on Korean ladder while making cash from streaming this month. I doubt Stephano is going to Code S, at least this year. | ||

Stephano salary is so big anyway that those small tournaments are basically chump change. EG probably said, okay well you are suspended , but hear what , Lets turn this punishment into a good thing, We will send you to korea to train, November is a huge month with alot of potiential to make big bucks, So go to korea and train your ass off so you can win atleast one of the big tournaments . Thats my thoughts and reasoning for stephano going korea. I dont think he is going to play in the GSL. If he was going to play in GSL he would have booked his ticket later, The code S finals hasnt happened yet and they are still more code A /Up and downs to play. If he is competing in the next season of GSL, that will come in another announcement. Why people didnt read my post really early in this thread ? it was spot on........ | ||

I know it is the hardest ladder by far, and he might continue to adjust to the time delay, but still, I am not that confident on him in Code S now that I see how he fares against "regular" low gm koreans. | ||

Too many tournaments (and money) he would miss by doing it. Especially in Late october/november. So many tournaments.. Broadcaster Egstephano: I won't be doing the next GSL Broadcaster Egstephano: I'm sorry Broadcaster Egstephano: I have to play for ESWC same time. Broadcaster Egstephano: ANd ESWC is ofc easier | ||
