Ah, I see.

Well, that's just unfortunate. People say silly shit like this jokingly all the time, but sadly for Stephano, he said it to someone that was streaming and got caught. Yes, child molestation and the like isn't a joking matter, but we can't white knight and pretend like we've never joked about taboo subjects.

Well, he's going to Korea anyway.

So a suspension includes a trip to Korea? Does anybody else find that odd? This sounds more like a total joke, and just EG attempting to save face for their sponsors. But uhm, suspension = trip to Korea!

PS, I don't care either way, I think the world just needs to get over themselves for a French 19 year old acting like he's still in high school bragging about banging chicks, not realizing that he's a huge star in the SC2 community and everything he says can and will be used against him.


You clearly care enough to make a comment. When a professional sports player misconducts, do they take time off? They are suspended from participating in tournaments and leagues but still has to train, just so happens that training in SC is best done in Korea. I don't see any problem with this. At the end of the day he is still an EG player and EG will want him to continue practicing to well represent them with tournament success...

I think teams have a disproportionate sense of the negative impacts of comments, and that a future struggle in esports will be discerning how serious teams should respond to complaints. I'm pretty plugged into the community, but I heard nothing about the Stephano "controversy" [seemingly a joke] nor the destiny "controversy" until the teams actually punished their players and publically apologized. I highly doubt anyone on reddit, a small population of the total viewership no doubt, actually gave a shit. EG and ROOT engage in behaviours - probably due to sponsor pressure - that simply arent necessary. Sponsors or teams need to wise up and interpret these complaints for what they are. Meaningless white noise.

Yes but those are adult males, not underage girls.

Seriously EG i'm dissapointed.


EG (read as: sponsors) are paying him out the ass to perform on a world stage in front of tens of thousands. Shenanigans will only be tolerated so far. No one with good sense can imagine a situation where making a joke which can easily be interpreted as a confession of raping an underaged girl in a public setting while representing your employer will be brushed off. With income comes responsibility. If he doesn't act responsibly, he shouldn't be rewarded with income.

Bravo EG.

Obviously the organization Stephano represents cares when he makes statements of possibly performing illegal acts on a minor.

good to know this community cares more about calling sponsors than being immature brats who have no business in these things



sad for the players that they can't even joke around without being punished

this community is getting worse and worse, everytime i see an article talking about how the esports community is drawn to "18-30" year olds, I think it's kind of bullshit since there are obviously a bunch of 15 year old prima donnas

Because it doesn't shock me in the slightest !

And you ask me should they have done nothing ?

You people act like it was real...was there any legal proceedings ? No.
Then its just words by a buzzmaker.

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.”


It's just me or this part sounds fake as hell?

Stephano might be sorry, but this quote seems to be something that someone at EG wrote and not Stephano himself, it just doesn't sound like him.


Wouldn't be the first faked player statement in esports. They didn't even try to make it believable, so I guess the statement is just for the sponsors.

What the fuck? If Stephano was trolling, I don't see how that would be funny in the first place. I can't think of how idiotically immature you'd have to be to find that funny.
