It's would have been more unprofessional to lose the match and die of exhaustion at his keyboard. Is that what you want? Or would you rather him not play in one of his tournaments? Or would you rather him try in both tournaments to get as high as you can!!! Last option please!


People are now suggesting that stephano was on the brink of dying from exhaustion from playing starcraft past his bedtime.

There is indeed a big difference in the situation you mention, but I don't see it in this situation where Stephano was imo thinking more along the lines of : "I'll forfeit the tournament because I'm so tired that if I played it could be bad for my health, and I have other engagement for next week so it is a better option to retain some stamina."


That's probably what he was thinking.. which means he absolutely has no clue about what responsibility and professionalism mean.

How long do you think the human body can sustain itself without sleep? I'll tell you if you're right.

The arrogance of this player is unprecedented. Stephano is clearly not intelligent enough to understand that competetive essence is what provides the substance for entertainment; the audience invests themselves in these players to witness an act of determination. It is unfortunate that video games has a minor penchant for attracting players of such a low personal caliber. Video games are a colosseum sport in which the audience indulges in an experience of individual displays of character, whether through fantastic gameplay or through beyond normal levels of personal energy and dedication. Stephano has failed to accumulate the full set of variables in this equation, and will continue to alienate his spectators. I am not interested in someone who considers themself a professional under only specific circumstances. Stephano is a fraud, a charlatan parading in the colors of falsehood and laity! The right to compete is earned. Which is why I fully support ONOG's level headed decision making to support the audience as the core of video games. Entertainment, and suspension of disbelief itself, is a two way street.

I'd say it's the exact opposite. If ESPORTs is supposed to be a legit sport, athletes of it are supposed to be professional, it's a job to them. You don't go home from work because you're tired, why should you quit a tournament because of it?


Yeah, if you were tired to the point of having trouble staying awake, you would go home from your job. You're not getting any good work done in that condition.

stephano is a awesome guy, fail is this community and ONOG, oh i forgot this fail caster.

sorry for my bad english, hope you understand the most of it.



so bascially fuck off to the players who stuck it out to the end, the people who gave stephano the chance to win money in the first place and broadcasted his games, and bascially the whole community is fail because they are undergoing reasonable discussion about professionalism and debate? seems legit
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Honestly I feel bad for Stephano, because he was technically voted in to this tourney by the fans but in the end, he accepted the invite and overbooked himself to play SC2 that day. Really, he should have made sure he could fit it all in his schedule first and I don't really like the ultimatum he gave to the tourney as if they need to work around his schedule. Either way, I don't see the need to move him to fourth. It doesnt matter too much to Stephano but still it makes him look inconsiderate.

people can go days without sleep.

from wiki:

Randy Gardner holds the scientifically documented record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days), breaking the previous record of 260 hours held by Tom Rounds of Honolulu.

He was unprofessional... should've kept campaigning until he lost! Otherwise transfer his earned funds to other contenders!

It wouldn't happen since I'm a professional. When I'm at my job, I'm expected to do my job and stay alert. If I can't do that, I'm obviously not being professional and as a result, I might look forward to losing my job. And that's not even comparable in the sense that this was the final of a tournament, so it's more comparable to being lead in a project and then going home from work because you're tired, leaving the rest of the project team high and dry.

On a side note I find pretty funny the fact that all french are defending him, much like the swedes did with the Naniwa incident.

Doesn't mean you're fit or capable of doing anything that requires concentration just because you're not literaly unconscious. Unless you feel so lowly of sc2 that you can perform well under sleep deprivation.

A bit harsh by Ilyes, I can't lie. But he was being honest, was tired, and did not want to deal with anything. It's... kind of understandable. But not acceptable.

ONOG did the right thing. It's just sad. I am pretty confident anybody would have KILLEDDDDD to see that game. Ugh. What a sad way to end such a nice tournament ;\

Stephano, you're still God. Haha <3

ONOG set their schedule awhile before the tourney, its stephano's fault for overbooking himself. I don't see how you expect a tournament to work around a player's schedule, that just doesn't make sense. Stephano got a big head and he payed for it.

For longer than 24 hours. Which is much more than stephano would have been awake for assuming he had woken up at a reasonable time. And if he woke up at 1 in the morning the day before two tournaments that would likely go well into the night, it's his fault.

Am I right?

What the hell is wrong with forfeiting a game you're not physically able to play? The guy is up for over 12 hours playing and is exhausted, it's no different than trying to play while sick. Sure, he loses, sure he may get knocked down, but all this "OMG PUNISH HIM!!!1one1!11!!" is asinine.
