Don't worry. I'm sure there will be future less-fucked up Flash vs Jaedong finals.

that's a good point.

Even tho I can accept that the people who know SC better than me say that Jaedong had a big lead, somehow, if it had happened in a final set, I simply can't imagine them awarding that game to Jaedong.

Decision belongs to Kespa, doesn't really matter if it was fair or not.

I believe however that Flash could obtain indemnities against MBC, based on his loss of a chance to win that match, and the series.

Would this long delay have occured if (Z)Jaedong and (T)Flash had been playing in front of countless fans in a huge auditorium? Of course not.

"What if Jaedong won the third set after fighting it out to the end instead of being given a free win that left a bitter aftertaste on both players? Would Flash have chosen another build for Fighting Spirit? How greatly would that have affected the results today?'

"What if MBC was able to prevent this?"

These questions will forever remain unanswered, and I rest tonight with a bitter thought. How should I say this.


summirez everything i'm felling at the moment...

btw keep us updated on the gossips and drama related to this on fomos pleaseee

MBC is incompetent. Kespa is incompetent. I guess we'll just have to accept this in future matches.

I totally agree with konadora. A rematch would have been unfair, too. Jaedong had a big lead, and he`s not one of those players, who give away such an advantage. Flash, of course, was very angry - and don`t forget that this kid is just 17 years old. He tilted in game 4, while Jaedong didn`t.

I feel kinda sad that this final always will be remembered as the final, where the lights went out. Both players were playing very well until that s... happened. Game 1 showed perfect mutalisk control, game 2 was fantastically played by flash. (maybe Jaedong thought: "hey, I`m not Kwanro, so let`s give guardians a try ). Game 3 was completely amazing, almost no mistakes by Jaedong here. And game 4 was just crap. Flash (being on tilt) stupidly all-ined, there's just no excuse for attacking a zerg base with 3 sunks when you`ve got 1 medic in your army.

On the other hand, I can understand Flash's rage a bit. He practiced like a maniac, and as a player, who is born to win, he just couldn`t be calm and sit back and say: "well, I would have lost this game almost for sure."

I hope they'll face each other again, soon. They are the best players of the world. A final such as this is a disgrace to their skill.

The problem in this case is that kespa were surprisingly competent. They had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the issue and resolved it fairly, surprising everyone who expected their generic "crash always equals regame" response. Kespa's competence in actually looking at the game before making a decision is what caused all the drama. They really shouldn't be getting any flak here.

Best thing would be to rehost the final in two weeks or something.
Jaedong cannot be happy about this outcome neither, there will always be voices who say he did not deserve this trophy.

They didn't handle it well at all. And no, I'm not talking about their decision, which was contestable but probably as fair as any alternative all things considered. I'm talking about how they enforced that decision.

When a ref. makes a call in any sport in this kind of situation then once the call has been made there must not be any doubt about whether it might be undone. None whatsoever. Allowing for the coaches and parents of players to come and argue against it for nearly an hour is ludicrous; it's detrimental both to the audience (obviously) but also the players! Think about it, if Flash had simply been told "We're awarding JD the point, please prepare for the 4th game" and that was the end of that, then I have no doubt that Flash would have been much more able to put it behind him and play the next game with a clear mind.

Instead he has to sit and stew over it for an hour while his parents and coaches flip out. That would have made it exponentially harder to just put it all behind himself and carry on as normal.

I mean, making a bad call is one thing, it's human and can be forgiven in the long run. But what they ended up doing called into question the entire integrity of the system, ruined it for the audience and worst of all ruined it for the players (Flash specifically).

So no, I don't think they handled it well at all. I think they handled it about as poorly as they possibly could.

I already said on a German forum that we got a lose-lose situation and for my part KeSPa did the right thing with giving the win to Jaedong. But like in every lose-lose situation you will never find common ground with the people who support the other decision...

I for my part completely agree with you and the decision that was made, lesser evil was chosen.

I'll give you guys that. I was just angry after seeing game 3 end like that, so I jumped on Kespa because they have a history of fuckups.

But MBC definitely fucked up here.

I didn't notice this since I watched the games on Youtube. They really took an hour?

As someone who has no allegiance to either player and just enjoys watching their high level play, many of the responses to what happened just seem ridiculous to me.

The power went out. It sucks.I feel equally bad for both players.

Did it ruin everything? No, I thought the first half was an enjoyable series to watch.

Did it ruin Flash's ability to play? Possibly. But professional players need to play consistently regardless, and I think Flash is a capable and mature enough player to go on with the show with full enthusiasm after such an incident.

But really, the rabid fanboyism and hilarious bias seen throughout TL in the past 24 hours is just embarrassing.

Agreed. Although, the best solution IMO is renting backup power generators to prevent shit from happening.
