Fun with some smack talk, and really, even I get pissed when I watch Stephano games so don't want to know how it feel to play him. Not so much for his playstyle (even if SH are boring) but for everything around it. All the talk about "retired" and "don't play much" does that if you don't beat him you suck and if Stephano beat you he's awesome. It don't make it better that the caster have to mention it every damn time Stephano play. They always start with "He is so damn good, he play like 3 games every year, so badass". Sure he may play less then others, but who knows? He maybe just play on other accounts? Just feel its sad they have to push it in our face every time and make the other player look like trash if they lose. Even in this thread we see people going "Nerchio was almost beaten by a retired player". Such a stupid thing to say. Evil Geniuses tweet are even more sad. So everyone that is beaten by stephano should feel bad about themself? How should DeMusliM feel that got last in the group then (and he is even part of Evil Geniuses)? | ||

I don't think they specifically cover social media. Nerchio docked prize money ? Why is that ? He didn't use any "idiots" or retired excuse as opposed to Stephano. I do not understand why do people still buy that " o hai, i stephano, i play 1 game per year, u bad for lose to me, i super talent prodigy for winning every single game..." | ||

The Stephano hate gets so random at times, it almost makes me want to like him :/ | ||

You don't get to decide when a player is retired or isn't, he does. And the fact that he chooses to keep playing even when he is retired doesn't make his retirement a "fake". Being a professionnal at something means that you dedicate enough of your time to it, and that you consider it to be the career path you are currently pursuing. They might both (or all 3 since it seems to be Welmu's case too) go to school but only one doesn't actively seeks to live from his SC2 performances. And by that I don't mean to belittle Nerchio's play, he did great. But he did, in fact as a professional player, beat a retired player. The fact hat this retired player used to be considered as a prodigy or whatever we may want to call him is not relevant in him being a professional or a retired pro-gamer. The fact that Nerchio goes to school isn't relevant either. As for those tweets, they're all grown ups, and they both enjoy trolling/flaming on those type of platforms. So I wouldn't read to much into it, just some casual taunting. But EG's point stands. Nerchio did in fact almost lose to a "retired player". Coz that's what Stephano is and there aren't multiple definitions of the word "retired" and it's NOT open to interpretation. If you make a living (or try to) of an activity that takes most of your time: your a professionnal, if not, you're not a professional and you can be considered "retired" if you used to do so. Just open a dictionnary if you doubt that ... | ||

I would love to see the old Stephano back, but not this halfhearted attempt. | ||

This final bo3 could have gone either way, my guess is Nerchio can't stand the fact that even with few practice, stephano is really close to his level. Will you people please stop hating on Demuslim. | ||

Anyways, the retirement thing is pretty convenient nowadays: If you play and lose, you can control expectations by claiming that you are retired. But if you win, you can claim that you are winning based on pure talent. Retired players don't play. Stephano is not retired. | ||

Polt goes to school full time as well. No one says hes a retired player. except stephano casually played in a few tournaments during his study break, and played sc2 prior to that very casually. heck, even now he plays more casual than serious. i think it's safe to say that nerchio shouldn't act like that when almost losing to a guy who hasn't played seriously in months. | ||
