If I was Stephano I would threaten to leave EG, (wonder how they would react to that), go to Korea anyway with all his prizemoney, and maybe get picked up by another team.


Maybe EG would sue him silly? Grown ups tend to do that for obvious contract breaking..

That's kind of bullshit to me.

When you hire a player like stephano you know he WILL do stuff like that,stephano is a real buzzmaker and he enjoys it.
Millenium had to face those kind of situations and even worse a lot and they didn't go apeshit for it.
Seriously EG i'm dissapointed.


You're disappointed in EG that they hired a self-proclaimed rapist? I don't think EG was aware of that when they hired him. And I reeeeeally hope that Stephano was just trolling.


Until we get further information that clarifies he actually sexually assaulted anyone, the assumption is that he was trolling. And the punishment is over-the-top bullshit.


I agree we can assume (hope) that, but this is the worst attempt at a "joke" ever on his part. What an immensely immature thing to say.

But you do realize this is Stephano- someone who's known for not only saying ridiculous things, but doing them too? It's not exactly the most absurd assumption in the world to think he was running his mouth off in a private conversation that he thought wasn't going to be streamed to the public, and then he backtracked and said it was only a joke (although I sincerely hope he was just trying to be funny, rather than him actually raping a little girl).

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.


I don't know who you hang out with, but people don't "joke" about having sex with 14 year olds.


Agreed.

Some things are taboo, and some are just wrong. I'm surprised how many people do not know the difference.

I mean he said he wants to screw a minor or a hot momma. I don't see why people are up in arms with him essentially being suspended for ~2 weeks without pay. In any other arena (pro sports, regular media, etc) they would have fired the guy. But given that it's e-sports, this seems like a reasonable action, especially considering he's only 19. I for one am not a Stephano or EG fan, but I think EG has handled this very well so far. You can't take the big money on a big name team, and still act like an idiot and not expect any fallout. Even if he was just trolling (which I'm certain he was), you have to act like an adult. Personality is great, rivalries and trash talk are awesome, but abusing minors or making jokes about it is not. Given his age and that this was just likely very poor taste, I think the punishment fits the crime. Good luck in the future.

You never make jokes about death, pedophilia, racism ? You know these dark jokes... Funny jokes ! Your life must be very sad if you are always serious about this kind of things.

And how exactly does suggesting you had sex with a 14 year old make you a "badass". Quite the opposite imo.

So, I am guessing that Stephano just said it was a lewd joke between friends? O man, I wonder if anyone is going to investigate to see if he actually did bang a 14 year old?

Obviously he didn't have anything to do with a 14 year-old, because he would be criminally charged.

He was joking, but they hell would you joke about something like that? That's plain fucked up.

I know plenty of people who make jokes about having sex with people's sisters (that are around 13-14). It's funny stuff to say to some close friends and what not, a bit weird when you're on the internet and are a sponsored player.

Incredible fucking retarded. Who cares about what he said really. This should be a privacy matter not public as it ofcourse got stirred up to be. He made a mistake so what, english is not even his native language. Personally i find sc2 drama to be something trolls and anti fans like to bring the worse out of. I find this type of punishment only in america.

I could not help but read this in a heavy French accent, but I must say, no, not many people make jokes about pedophilia.

Yeah Stephano you should really think about what you're saying EVEN if you think it's a joke it's still a fucked up joke. You just don't do that for real.
