Not the best time/place to pull this kind of talk, but still, seems a little too harsh... On the other hand, I understand EG protecting their PR, just hope they wont punish Stephano in this manner for every single thing he pulls. Else there will either be no Stephano in tournaments or no Stephano in EG. | ||

When you represent professional organizations you cannot joke about having sex with someone underage (whether or not 14yo is underage in France doesn't matter much), and especially not abusing them. It is much worse that there was no clear indication that it was a joke, so people may just wonder. In any professional setting such unprofessional conduct could easily mean a 1 month suspension, or termination. Of course if Stephano actually committed such an offense the response will be much worse (I personally strongly believe it was a joke), but the mere suggestion that he might have is enough to warrant a 1 month suspension. Maybe EG could have predicted that Stephano would act unprofessionally, but that does not mean that they are not well within their rights to enforce the terms of the contract they signed with him. Stephano chose to sign with a professional team, and then you must act professional or face the consequences. | ||

You can be convicted as a sexual offender based on a joke? In a different universe maybe.

A really shitty joke that accidentally got out caused more than 60 pages of comments and a 1 month suspension on the joker. Wow. I don't understand why people in this community have to make such big deals over things that either trivial, or aren't any of their business. Just because you see a picture or hear about something happening between people doesn't make it your personal business; it doesn't make it your God-given obligation to message sponsors or try to get someone fucked over. I really don't want people to get fucked by people messaging sponsors when it is completely unnecessary. I have to wonder, would it be better if we messaged sponsors every time someone said something immature or something bad happened, or if it would be better to not bother them with utter nonsense such as this. Do sponsors want to join a community where everyone runs around acting like a 14 year old brat? NOPE. Do sponsors want to join a community where every time something remotely bad happens they're getting messaged? ALSO NOPE. So what's the solution? I dunno, but it isn't to message sponsors every time an immature 20 year old acts like an immature 20 year old!! K NEED TO COOL DOWN NOW. Couldnt be said any better. | ||

You don't be as big as Stephano and be that careless when you know there are tons of youngsters looking up to him. With the amount of streams going on, you sure as hell better make sure that other person isn't streaming before you say something like that. And if wanting eSports to be professional, imagine what an NFL, NBA, MLB, or any pro athlete out there said this and it got leaked. -3 rep to EG for the slap on the wrist. 1 month without pay is nothing for what Stephano has made in his winnings within the last 3-6 months alone. | ||

It's too bad since I was looking forward to him competing in the GSL - I wonder if this ban would affect that? | ||

His suspension will be over before the next season of GSL will begin, so he will be eligible to compete if he wants to i would guess. | ||

I mean ok I just said to one of my client that my employer was a dickhead, did he stop paying me for one month because I wasn't giving a good image? Lol hell no, I can bring him to court for that kind of shit. But Stephano isn't just in France. He derives his income from his international reputation, not just the French one. And he is not hired as a programmer, or a data entry assistant, he is hired solely to represent EG and its sponsors in a favorable way. Therefore what he says matters a great deal more, than what someone with an ordinary job does (btw abuse of a 14yo is generally considered worse than dislike for your boss in most of the world). | ||
