How did this even happen? Did the commentator turn up late and only watch the replay they showed while Flash's dad was arguing backstage? Or did he leave early or what? Somehow he hasn't seen the game. This surprises me.

I do wonder about the 4 oclock expo.

I did see Jaedong send 2 drones up there within 14:14:30.

Did Jaedong make more drones there or just armies? I'll keep watching vod.


Interesting. Jaedong sends 4 drones there near the 15 minute mark. But is clearly producing troops from that hatchery.


It wasn't as saturated as we thought.

Probably he stopped paying attention and then the blackout woke him up, so he only saw the replay. Something like that.

In my simulation I gave JD the gas at 3 and 3 drones mining. It was the only base I didn't have any info on but I felt that less than half a drone per crystal was probably about right.

Could you please point out some examples of that Baseball thing ? I would like to know what they consider to be a "clear advantage".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainout_(sports)

If a game is rained out before play begins, it is rescheduled for a later date. If it has already begun and rain falls, several scenarios are used to determine the need to resume play:

* If the game has completed the top half of the 5th inning and the home team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The home team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.
* If the game has completed the bottom half of the 5th inning and either team is ahead, the game can be deemed an official game. The leading team is declared the winner, and the game officially counts in standings.

* If the game has completed the 5th inning, and the teams are tied, or if the game is a playoff game, the game is considered suspended, and the resumption of the game is scheduled for a future date (usually the following day). The game picks up from where it left off.
* If neither of the previous three scenarios apply, the game can not be deemed official. The umpire declares "No Game," and a make-up of the game is scheduled for a future date. The statistics compiled during the rained out game are not counted.




Except Bud Selig, the commissioner of MLB, clearly stated if the game were called when the Phillies were up 2-1 on the Rays after the 5th inning, that MLB would have overruled this:


No shortened victory


The game became an official game after the fifth inning. Had umpires stopped it there, with the Phillies leading 2-1, the Phils could have been awarded their trophy.

Selig said that wouldn’t have happened. He said Game 5 will be a nine-inning game.

“It’s not a way to end a World Series,” he said.


http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/sports/6081065.html

You see, even in MLB, the commissioner has the sense to not "gift" the win to a particular team, despite that team having an advantage when the game was cancelled.




Everyone and KESPa needs to read this post.
But when we're talking about a score of 50-1 and there are only a few minutes left in the baseball game, I start to question whether a rematch is really the best policy.
To be nitpicky: there's no "few minutes" left in baseball. Bottom of the ninth, 2 outs, no batters on base and the team with 1 point COULD still win, unlike games with time where scoring 49 points is actually impossible in a few minutes.

But your point still stands so carry on everyone.

[Jaedong] overcame unfavorable maps and the best TvZ player ever [...]

Funny, because for the last two years, it was Flash's TvZ that was getting him knocked out of almost every league. Having a hot 3-month streak in the matchup does make you "the best TvZ player ever."

Well, to be fair, a hot 3-month streak is basically the basis for oov being called the "best TvZ player ever" prior to Flash.

He also holds the highest v Z ELO peak ever.

It depends on your criteria I guess.

Prior to this series his TvZ did indeed look quite invincible.

Edit: Although reading your post again, I'm not sure what you're arguing. Did you mean "doesn't"?

Seriously guys you are missing the whole point of that controversy......
It doesn't matter whether he had 30 marines or 3 or whether jaedong had 30 ultras and Defilers
Its the fact that Flash was mentally struck due to incident that occured. Even though the player is Flash, NO player in the world can deal with that and just move on as if nothing happened, it will screw his mind up so hard he won't notice it.. i get pissed when a probe does happy laps around my natural base imagine how losing a game in a finals like that must of felt?

Do you possibly think Flash can play at his best with a strong positive approach? No obviously he can't and saying he has to deal with it is not fair.

Whatever you want to talk about, the argument in this thread has been about whether to play a rematch or to award Jaedong the win for a while now.

i think the logic of your explanation is persuasive as flash's chance to win game 3 .
but hey like you say Fakesteve the winner had not yet been decided .
if the choice is between regame or jd win , i can't see how you can go for a regame.
and this isnt any i killed 1 probe i have the advantage case .
people are giving you solid facts on how jaedong was at the lead and you reply with "the winner had not yet been decided"
but if the choice is regame or jd win (dismissing flash win for obvious reason)
a regame is absurd.


hey, i have definitely supported the idea that jaedong is at a massive advantage at that point. i'm merely saying that KeSPA failed to establish a precedent on these issues, and that a blanket "always rematch" rule is far more objective, and should be the route the governing body takes

i have also said that given the circumstances, KeSPA was absolutely forced to give the game to jaedong, because that precedent has not been set. i haven't said that jaedong wasn't at a huge advantage, and i haven't said that KeSPA realistically could have made a different decision. I'm definitely of the opinion that they should have, simply because it's better to begin this sort of thing late than not do it at all. I'm really just musing about the gigantic hole KeSPA has dug itself into.

i just have to revisit this because i feel like you're overlooking something critical, if i'm off base then i'll just trust you on it but:

we're talking about two control groups of marines here. part of how i see flash potentially winning this game is using what he has on hand to feint attacks at 7. i thought you weren't considering this possibility earlier as well, and you saying that he has energy on his defilers as if that magically means he can go out and kill flash is more evidence that you're not really considering how flash would likely have played from the point of the blackout onward.

now again, i must state that i don't think the decision made by KeSPA should consider what i'm about to say AT ALL

two groups of marines and three vessels is more than enough to keep jaedong pinned and defending 7oclock. that's why i said flash would need flawless execution, he'd need to be able to reliably preserve that army until such time that his new min only is fueling his barracks, which will happen much faster than jaedong's economic advantage at that point would kick in and overwhelm the terran forces

this is why i asked you earlier why you thought flash would simply camp out at his new base and await the deathblow. there's many many ways to make a base vulnerable without attacking it, and many many ways to safely harass a well-defended expo to buy yourself a few extra units so you can attack more than one location. they're all immeasurably difficult, but this is Flash we're talking about. it is definitely within his capabilities & knowledge to secure that game. just veeeeeery very unlikely

I think the whole difference in the game is that you have no replay, you have no supply and no actual mineral count to base off of except what the commentators decided to look at. Even at the end, whether those ultras survived is also the question, the amount of health they had left. Even if Jaedong was taking another expansion, it was far from being done, and further from being mined.

The way the game went was left with what Flash could do. I really don't like people quoting other people on their opinion of the advantage and using it to convince people that Jaedong was massively ahead. Do they know the game better or does Flash know the game better? Seeing the way he gged in the first game, the very fact that he stayed in the game means to me he believed he still had a fighting chance.

And the argument that Jaedong had showed his build on this map and therefore was at a disadvantage is a flawed argument simply because both players obviously had specific BOs and both showed them. The racial imbalance on fighting spirit is very debatable because it is based off of past games, which do not number in the thousands, but simply in tens. Can't even law of large numbers that shit.

Even given all that I'm pretty torn between a rematch and the given victory, but I pretty much believe a rematch should be given in all situations of this type. Being a competition I think the trend should go towards allowing players to compete instead of taking away someone's ability to compete.

That commentator was talking about the possible events of the last 30 seconds of the vod having not seen them. He's talking about Flash's last big push before retreating to his 3rd to camp and saying it might work. Those two control groups of marines got raped after the commentator stopped watching for whatever reason. An ultralisk with irradiate was completely surrounded by marines and they all died.
I was pointing out the defilers simply because he was wrong about how many there were and I was surprised by this.

Flash didn't have those 2 groups of marines in the vod (he had 10 marines and 8 medics running to the min only). His main had mined out a minute before and his mineral only wasn't yet mining (it was being maynarded to). Unless Flash had been macroing badly he would have been missing rounds of production. Flash is very good and I'm sure could think up tricks I'd never imagine. But the question that keeps coming back to me is "with what minerals"?

well, one can reasonably assume that flash has at least two groups at any given time. if you've played any tvz, which i'm sure you have, you either have a lotta marines, or a lotta money, regardless of how many barracks you have. jaedong would have had to wait until units hatched before attacking anywhere, and before that time, Flash can put pressure on 7. it's the same situation whether he has those 20 marines or not, just with 20 extra marines. he can do the same things, and will, cuz a direct confrontation in the middle of the map is the last thing he wants

then we're back to 10% of the time even a player of jaedong's caliber guesses wrong and loses the advantage
