I wonder if Stephano will eventually stop trying for GSL so that he can just leave Korea. He really hates it there.

"Very very depressing and unpleasant time in Korea"

I think I may have stumbled upon his difficult to play up to his standard.

He should just go home and never come back to korea. Fans and antifans wanted to know whether or not he would win a GSL. We have our answer now as a resounding, NO, so there's nothing left for him in korea now. However, his fans are going to be even more unbearable with these latest interviews using the excuse that he didn't win code s or dominate pro league because he wasn't happy.

I really don't want to start an argument, but the delusional Stephano fans are far outnumbered by the hardcore Stephano haters I feel (I don't count you as one btw). Yes it is true, that Stephano didn't do as good as some expected but there is no shame at all in losing to Innovation and Flying.

hrmm not in my experience

Wow, watching this. Can't help feel bad for Stephano, he is just having a terrible time. I say let him go home and practice in his own environment, attend foreign tourneys and win or place high in them as he usually does.

Player morale is quite important, and seeing that reddit thread regarding EGTL not performing well, along with Stephano's comments. There needs to be change somewhere to make things better for them. I am curious to see what will happen.

In the OP there is this "You can also watch the other clips in the link as below", that is not correct english. There is no "as" before "below", also it is "links" not "link".

bottom line..he can make the choice to leave korea very easily if hes not happy....It's kind of sad that hes complaining in a TV interview about how unhappy he is. EG is paying a 19 year old kid 100k a year to play starcraft..and the coach waking him up to practice is worthy of his fans sympathy? come on now. I was tempted to feel bad after the interview..but sorry he can easily give it up if hes not happy..and he should while hes young.

He probably has to stay because it might be in his contract or something. Felt like he was gonna cry at the end, hope things start to look up for him!

I know right? He wants to be a doctor and is crying about being woken up early. A lot of pro gamers are very naive and don't know what real hard work is or what it's like in the real world to work.

Stephano reminds me of Dwight Howard.

EG-TL coach just got ten buses thrown on him.

Whoa. This is a surprisingly good analogy. Not perfect, but it's really not bad at all =P

And yeah...no wonder I was reading all those posts about the coaching issue. So I guess this interview is where those recent posts have been originating.... Poor stephano though. I never particularly liked him, but his experience sounds like it really kind of sucked. It's a shame for sure unfortunately

I don't think he can actually. In an other interview, some guy ask him, as he wasn' feeling good in SK, if he will be in Europe or North America in the next weeks, Stephano answered "possibly, I can't say anything about it"
He's still in contract, and I doubt he can decide everything

yea looks like that his contract says: "you have to play proleague several rounds". If he is unhappy in SK, he should leave SK. You cant play good if you are unhappy.

Being woken up in the middle of the night or early in the morning because your coach is screaming at you is not "what it's like in the real world to work". It doesn't matter how things are elsewhere, the coach should not scream at the players - it affects performance and general atmosphere in a very negative way, from my experience. And I doubt people wake you up in the middle of the night just to be unpleasant, so I don't think you're in a place to judge. The guy seems truly sad in the interview, and he rarely does that - something is obviously not right - whether that's the reason for his slightly above-mediocre performance in Proleague or not is another matter, but the coach does not have the right to harass anyone like that.

If Stephano's contract had said "We are allowed to wake you up when we want, scream at you and be generally unpleasant", it would be a different matter. But, for some reason, I doubt that that is the case.

Yeah sure blame the coach, he's the reason EG-TL got owned in all kill right?

oh wait


Also, since stephano can't assimilate with kespa-like trainings, I doubt he can par up with the koreans

There is a difference between blaming the coach for going 0-16 in games across the last four series, and complaining about the coach harassing (possibly) players by waking them up and needlessly screaming at them.

Am I the only one that thinks Stephano might have been exaggerating slightly, you know, for comedic effect? I mean, do you people also think the Korean players all think their teammates are ugly? Yes, we know at this point there are some problems in the EG-TL house, but these interviews are not meant to be entirely serious...

I assume you are regularly woken up by someone screaming at you for no apparent reason? If not, I can tell you first-hand that it isn't a fun experience, especially if it happens repetetively. If it happened once, I might agree with you and say that he's overreacting. If not, then yes - I believe it qualifies as harassment, and could potentially (one of many) a factor in the below-expectations performance of Stephano and EG-TL as a whole.
