EPTI don't think people should be supporting his actions? It was clearly not alright, between friends yes but he should just find a less public way to say the joke? As unbelievable to some of you that he got in trouble its good to know there are people out there who do find this offensive.

Hell if he wants to keep getting paid and money really is that important then he should act accordingly . Is it really going to hurt him THAT much to act like an adult? He may be 19 but there are very few places in the wolrd where a person is 19 and is allowed to act like that without some form of wrist slapping. Ye, no "official statement". Bwahahaha. They gave him up when they gave up to the pressure of the sponsors. When THEY promote the sponsors by earning them more money than the sponsors invest in them by financing them. Sponsors should be crawling. Not EG. Stephano is everything but a usual kid. A 19 year old should usually be in college or already working. Not travelling around the world earning thousands of dollars. That's why he needs to be protected. To be honest, EG wins more in this than Stephano, in terms of influence, money etc... Or they wouldn't have hired him. Hell, if they want to keep getting money through him, they better treat him accordingly, instead of using him as he was a simple tool. There're plenty of other teams out there that would be happy to have a player like him in their roster... Same question, is it going to hurt THAT MUCH to act like an adult and care about wiping your own ass only ? | ||

Obviously its all just speculation, i just would see no reason for him to just joke about that and bring it up seemingly at random. Bling didn't immediately assume it was a joke, and i don't think we should either. he never even said just kidding and he seemed fairly concerned about the stream being on after, if it was just a joke and supposed to be perceived as a joke i really dont think he would be concerned about it, people have said far worse things jokingly on far more popular streams. I personally beleive he was either A. just lying about banging a young chick cause he thought it was cool, B. actually did bang an underaged chick. | ||

A few more controversies like this is what is gonna make streamers be more careful in the future. Private conversations should be private conversations, | ||

If EG wants to get paid they are going to do what ever the sponsers tell them too or else they lose out. Use your brain | ||

You are correct, and why have people already decided that this was a joke? There is still no significant "proof" that weights more towards it being a joke. Its equal likely that he was bragging and telling the truth to a friend when he thought no one heard. | ||

Private conversations should be private conversations, I totally agree , should remain private. Thing is they should of been careful in the first place. Infact most players while streaming put there status as busy so messages don't go on their stream. Even if the public isn''t allowed to send messages to the player if on busy your Real ID friends mssages won't show up until after the game. | ||

Its not a funny joke, and its not to far fetched that a 19 year old might have banged a 14 year old, especially considering the age of consent if 15 in france and although i think a year makes a pretty big difference especially at that age it might be easy to make a bad judgement call on the age of someone. Plus he seems exactly like a creepy french perv who would do something like that. Obviously its all just speculation, i just would see no reason for him to just joke about that and bring it up seemingly at random.

I personally beleive he was either A. just lying about banging a young chick cause he thought it was cool, B. actually did bang an underaged chick. I agree with your last statement, it's probably A. or B. There is nothing pointing towards a joke, it's looks like its bragging/lying to be cool or just telling a true story. | ||

Well then they are hypocrites if its the context that offended them and thats what they were offended about then in private it should also offend them. | ||

In france we have the liberty to say some bullshits, trolling since the revolution in books in Tv in newspaper etc... we can extend, in europe people have some cultural skill and know when it's a joke etc... In my point of view US are more disapointed by sex/irony/blasphemy... than true violence etc... So, stephano must change his behavior if he stay in US-Team, but guys seriously.. upgrade your knowlegde. (sorry for my english) | ||
