Grubby forfeits: Nothing happend Stephano forfeits: 30 page with 90% hate. Anybody realising? Stephano is just a SC2-player, he does what he thinks is best for him. LIKE ANY OTHER PLAYER. Most herp derps complaining about Stephano would do 100% the same in his situation! btw: Sad for Taeja. He deserved his shot in the finals...=( | ||

And as foreigners its a very hard time, your seperated from your family/friends, you dont understand the language and you got to spend a lot of money to live there. And all that for what? The very low chance to win something? To play against korean names the fewest of your fans ever heard of? IEM in contrast is a real tournnament, you got realistic chances to get something out of it and you fans can actually watch it. And lets face it: SC2 wont exist forever. As a pro you loose so much precious time you could have spend in a proper job or education. Thats all a lot of lost time and money. Your future employer will most likely not care about you playing computer games professional in the best case. In worst case he will not hire you cause you wasted years of playing "childish games". --> As a progamer you must get out money in that time, thats what matters. | ||

Would have been disappointed if Stephano canceled on this. | ||

The way I see it is, if all the other players forfeit and Ilyes forfeits first he should place at the head of the pack. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/19gh6t/stephano_to_not_forfeit_spl_updowns_from_evoli/c8nsvb1 | ||

Remember the 49code A spots? Stephano was put in the schedule, even his teammate assumed he would play and suddenly he announces on twitter he aint going to. | ||

Hope they do remove Stephano from Code A though. Gives an extra slot for qualifications. | ||

By logic, they are Stephano fans, who want to see their foreign hero succeed in the highest caliber tournament in the world. The real haters are happy that he's looking like a coward right about now. | ||

Don't get me wrong, I like Stephanos play a lot. But that's exactly what Stephano does, being unprofessional. I know he says it's his "style" to not train a lot etc. But I think he could really do a lot better (as he is already awesome that means being a GSL champion) if he starts growing up. | ||

Him forfeiting the up and downs just saves us from watching a bunch of one sided games. Good luck to Steph in iem. But there are some Koreans there also! LOL, amusing. Your Team icon is LG-IM In the last team-battle at IPTL, Stephano won against his LG IM opponent... One sided games must not mean that Stephano looses them... | ||

Sure GSL is hard. Gaming is hard. Nobody else cares about financial standpoints in these situations. This is about playing leagues people are counting you to play. Some people might have purchased GSL tickets to watch foreigners play, but they continuously FF. Sure, Stephano wants to make some money at IEM, but there isn't even a for sure chance of that to be honest. Odds are against him making real money at IEM, so why pass this up? W/e, only solution is to stop giving people special treatment. Polt FF's his spot because he leaves Korea? Then put Polt on a probation period and give his spot to the next available candidate instead of to a random foreigner who is just going to drop out anyways because they don't feel it's important. | ||

Now I am worried though, not dropping out of UnD mean he might dance on 3 parties, but maybe Stephano needs that to play well. | ||

They can have weeks without a Korean defeat, but once a Korean name gets knocked out by a foreigner they get Code S status for life. | ||

I think the "newer generation" of SC2 players just don't have the same regard and work ethic for becoming a Korean Style progamer like the BW foreigners did. And why would they? Huge salaries, EFame, Instant Sponsors for basically doing nothing of note. What did Idra have when he started doing well in BW? Motivation and Passion and thats about it. And I'm not an Idra fanboy by any means I barely even watch his games, but you have to give him a lot of respect compared to a player like Stephano. | ||
