Guys, come on, he's 19, seriously, Stefano is really just a kid himself still.

Though I hope he was kidding about the "abuse" part

So EG always recruits bad mannered people for publicity and then they write: "They do not reflect our company’s sense of morality, behavior and propriety, and they will not be tolerated." What a joke.

Maybe you like it or not but people who are in a position as Stephano is(skilled, popular, plays for a big team) are always in the spotlight and people observe every move they make. So they need to be careful about what they say or write. So they simply can´t make bad moves like Stephano did. It doesn´t matter if it was a joke or not. I´m not judging what he said, but that´s how it works, you simply can´t make these comments when you are Stephano because it will cause a shitstorm,(Joke or not.)

It´s not just Stephano. Imagine Christiano Ronaldo, Michael Jordan, ... or some other famous athlete making comments on the lever of Stephano did. It would cause a huge drama.

So many people defending someone joking about child abuse. Unreal stuff! He is lucky not to be fired. I understand that he is a young chap, but how the fuck does someone come up with that as a joke? Not funny in a million years that.

So he was suspended for what, to me, obviously look like a joke? A rather harmless one at that to me.

I suppose Stephano shoulda known better, but really, unless he was streaming at the time this is stupid as hell. Who in the world would take those comments seriously >.<?

Oh well, I suppose this is the only way the EG curse can hit him

Isn't Stephano a teen himself? Damn it sucks to be a pro gamer, all eyes on you and for what pay? Actually Stephano gets paid a lot, so that's the price he has to pay for getting paid as much as he gets paid. Pay up and learn!

of course he was kidding, but it's a stupid joke and he can't take it back. This's just an easy punishment by EG, so stop defending him.

Dude that can totally get him in jail... being banned by EG is the last thing he needs to worry about right now.

Better hope no 14 years old comes forward because he already admitted it if someone accuses him...

Stephano has his own personality and charisma. Assuming it was a joke, I don't think it deserves such punishment or attention at all. Pedophilia and homosexuality are both perversions and people in gaming community are joking about the latter all the time. I dislike such a hypocrisy morality as much as I dislike perversions.

Also, I didn't read his contract, but how can they suspend him just for joking?

I obviously understand why Stephano was suspended but I still disagree with the decision. Stephano wasn't even streaming during that time right? He was just caught on another persons stream.
This reminds me of the orb situation when orb was bming his opponent and people started making a big deal about it. It just seems really stupid to me =/.

Is it right to give a longer leash when it goes against the very morals you preach as an organization? Has Stephano earned the right to belittle the community and act completely irresponsible and unprofessional? And more importantly is this someone we want as a face of the community as we try to bring esports into the mainstream?

If mainstream esports is your business goal, then I wish you the best of luck achieving it. But in the meantime, while the rest of us are trying to watch Starcraft, what's the usefulness of randomly grounding a player - let alone a star player?


So you would prefer the scene not to grow and expand and become bigger? You would rather watch Stephano today and have the scene die tomorrow? That's the impression I get from reading this.


Hahahaha, yeah, it's the end of Starcraft as a competitive sport because some 18 year old kid who plays the game well made a joke.

Only if he actually did anything against the law.
You need to realize that he said "I abused a 14 yo", not "I had sex with an underage girl".
Aside from that he just SAID it, he didn't necessarily do it. I think it's unreasonable to punish someone for saying something that is not hateful or abusive to anyone else, and is unsubstantiated, especially when said under the expectation of privacy.

While still overblown, that was far worse, and he said specifically hateful and abusive things against particular people — he also said such things under full knowledge of a public audience as far as I know.
"Then he told me to tell you that he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire" — "Well, you tell him that I said that I wouldn't piss on him if he was on Jeopardy!"

There are thing you just don't say. Try saying that you are a terrorist inside an airport for once, and see what happens, preferably an American or British one. Last time someone in UK got into some real trouble tweeting that they were going to blow up the airport, even though it was intended as a joke.

I can't believe the number of people who have not heard about statutory rape and are saying that he didn't do anything wrong...

well, maybe he didn't do anything morally wrong, but he would have committed a crime in many countries.

Let's hope he was just being stupid and joking about something that he shouldn't joke about, period.

Too late. The moment we have sponsors we are already "mainstream".
