I am a "stephano hater" but the hate here is just out of control and full of nonsense. They should have this kind of schedules months prior the events taking into consideration other events, if not, there will be forfeits. | ||

Considering Stephano has a history of forfeiture and money-grubbing, I'm inclined to say it's his fault though. From any standpoint beyond wallet stuffing, it was a terrible thing to do. Now his team gets a free loss, his U/D group has less integrity, and he's shit on the Code S seed that was granted to him. Guess what happens next time an international player or team wants to play in the GSL or PL? The managers are going to remember Stephano. He's hurting more people than himself here. Only on TL could a simple scheduling conflict be taken to this level of drama. There is a section of this community that treats a play forfeiting a GSL match the same way middle school girls each other when they cancel a shopping session. | ||

Well they only gave Stephano 5 days notice, its close, but not exactly on point. Still, no one cared that Grubby forfited, because he isn't on EG. | ||

Sorry the title of the thread (and atleast the first 3 pages) must have confused me about this thread being about U&D matches. | ||

He hasn't achieved anything in SC2 and most likely never will. As a result, no one (hyperbolic!) cares whether he plays or not. Just as no one will care if Yonghwa forfeits either GSL or IEM or about the many, many times where Korean players have simply not shown up to foreign tournaments they've been signed up for or invited to. Stephano is the most popular player in the world. People care about what he does no matter what it is. The topic on reddit about him forfeiting has more comments than the GSL semi-final. Very few actually care about SC2 content at this point, it seems. But everyone has an opinion on how Stephano should act, regardless of their own ignorance of the situation. The moment Stephano's name is mentioned, there will be people cheering for him, and there will be people celebrating his downfall. It's the pleasure and pain of being SC2's biggest name. | ||

Well thats the coach's problem, not Stephanos. Stephano does not set up the team roster for each match. | ||

They fucked up big time if they submitted him as a player in proleague when he's actually on a plane. That'd be a case of bad communication between evoli and Hwanni. They didn't fuck up in case of GOM, that's either way unlucky that GOM decided to play Up&Downs in WoL and at this date, but EG either didn't want to spend quite a bit on money on booking a new flight for him or Stephano expressed the wish not to play in GSL anymore. Stephano actually didn't fuck up like some people here say unless he specifically told EG that he doesn't want to play Up&Downs or that he refuses to fly at a later date and have less time to get rid of jetlag. | ||

The reason people say EG fucked up is because of Proleague man. They scheduled Stephano to play LATER THAT SAME DAY as his UnD. Hell, notice UnD is scheduled on 11:10 KST which is earlier than usual so Stephano can play Proleague. That implies that EG fucked up here. | ||

Great to hear that after having all of your reasons refuted you've fallen back on simple smearing. | ||

Nobody cared about Grubby because (a) he doesn't have a history of forfeiture, (b) he doesn't have legions of deluded fanboys, and (c) he's not screwing over his team in order to get the big bucks.

Rather assuming that the coach knew this was going to happen, aren't we? No evidence of that. Stephano has a history of quitting when he doesn't feel like playing, this smells more like his odor than EG's. | ||
