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. | ||

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... | ||

Millenium had to face those kind of situation and even worse a lot and they didn't go apeshit for it. 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. | ||

So the girl could lie about her age and then tell him that in fact she was 14 or she looked 14. you know europe consists of many different countries yes? All with different ages of consent? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
