Stephano is back! Crazy how he can just retire and come out of nowhere and qualify. Hopefully he will take Challenger seriously.

Also grats to Golden, First, and Elfi!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I dunno what to say about Stephano making it.
A part of me is impressed, and the other is mad.

Rumours of Stephano's retirement seem to have been greatly exaggerated.

Just gonna throw this out now: We will all know whether Naniwa is playing or not within the next 48 hours.

Reason? Thursday is the Ladder Wildcard, and if Naniwa is not participating, they will need to qualify an additional player for it. There's no way ESL will let him just string them along through Challenger and then not show up.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

Stephano? Wait what?
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

So I guess the status of Naniwa is still in doubt? Ah well. Congrats to everyone who made it. Lol Golden, if at first you don't succeed, yolo through the next qualifier. Also Stephano is surprising. Retirement my ass lol.

Stephano is so goddamn good for barely playing. He said he is on break for holiday and just started playing again yesterday.

Stephano is still on EG. Like how Sheth was still on Liquid even though he wasn't playing for awhile. Certain players are more like family with their teams than just being a source of income and sponsorship.
