Don't set the matchs for the white guy on these dates and he can attend.

But is it even possible, does kespa allow that ? Well considering people get sick, fall down and have parents and family who die, I am sure they have a system for when people have to cancel. who's speculating now?
was it best or something who had a situation with family? i remember reading about it.

I don't get it. GOM said they took every other tournament schedule in consideration when making groups / scheduling GSL matches. So Why on earth was Stephano scheduled to play 1 before day IEM...
He was scheduled March 4th in GSL and March 7th in IEM. What should they do, cancel 2 full weeks of games around every IEM, MLG, Dreamhack, Assembly, IPL?

Disappointing but it makes complete sense to me from his, and his team's probable perspective.
I'll cheer for him at IEM.
Decision made, no need to dwell.

And Rain never should have tried to qualify if he wasn't going to play EVERY SINGLE GAME. Same with Grubby. They should be banned forever and never allowed in GSL for leaving. They should walk to the other side of the street if they see a GSL player or caster, head bowed in shame. If Huk forfits a match because he is going to his own wedding, banned for life. You play every single game, that is how passion works. Looks like real-life doesnt exists :D Please tell me you are not serious about the wedding. Of course I'm not serious at all.

Well then its the coaches fault for not being aware of the Stephano's upcoming events. Who is the coach of EGTL again? Didn't they team up with some ex-Kespa coach, who should know better than to set his players up for a match when they are not going to be in Korea?

very possible, poor play from eg management, especially since incontrol did post in the up/down thead to cheer for stepano

So now EG-TL has to take a free loss in PL because Stephano would rather earn the big bucks than fulfill the promises he made to GOM and KeSPA. Unholy Alliance was a bad idea from the beginning for TL, just tarnishing their good reputation and commitment by being associated with an organization as paltry and laughable as EG.
Oh well, at least Stephano fanboys can rejoice because they'll have an excuse for his meteoric plummet into Code B.

Another failed korean adventure. You'd wish the 'best foreigner' actually had the competitive spirit to keep playing in the highest level of competition, I figured that's why EG was paying him his salary in the first place.
Back to winning the occassional foreign tournament I'm guessing.

That is completely different tough, you do not choose that stuff.
When you willingly do not go to a tournament those rules shouldn't apply to you, its completely unfair as well to the team they are playing against as well.

TT It's a shame, but I kind of expected it. I'm sure that the GSL will be happy to welcome him back into the next season, if Stephano hasn't made $2 mil by then and gone off to med school.

GOM's fault!
EG's fault!
Airlines' fault!
I wonder when you're going to blame the person that decided to forfeit.

The worst decision out of everything is, that they didn't delay the up and downs for 2 or 3 weeks and then make them HotS to begin with. Next season is played in HotS anyways, so it doesn't make the smallest sense that U&D are in WoL.
There are already full tournaments running HotS (see IEM), even before HotS is released. I don't get it, why GOM doesn't do it the same way...
Because that one part has to do HoTS for their code S spots and the other WoL. Do you not see the massive problem here?

sucks he wont get to play, hopefully he qualifies when he gets back to Korea

Makes sense. More chance to get $$$ from IEM, and still gets paid by EG. GSL is way hard work.

That's not actually why EG pays, it just happens to go hand in hand. EG pays for big name players

Why does Stephano have fans again? The amount of shit that he's collectively excused for is kind of amazing. I guess the fact that there's a white person that can beat Koreans a tiny fraction of the time is so mind-blowing to people that they can't just admit that he's an asshole and start rooting for players that deserve the good will.

Very predictable, but none the less disappointing behavior from a team so heavily invested into Proleague/GSL. I can't imagine the Korean teammates finding this acceptable either. Not very professional or respectful.
I think this just shows things to come. I think slowly you are going to see more and more foreign teams and events pull away from Korea and separate to some extent. More White kids playing each other to "grow esports" (obv its not going to work that way). It was a big enough disparity with ESF vs the world, and now add the Kespa players into the mix and there's no way foreigners can compete on any meaningful level for teams to keep profit and the scene growing.

It's just business guys. Chill.

Pretty sure the team would have a reasonable degree in deciding what their player plays in, it's as much EG's fault as Stephano's.
