EPTAll four maps were official picks for NATE MSL 2009. By (forcibly) taking part, all players had essentially, agreed to accept any disadvantages.
Do you think map imbalances should matter to referees/judges?

Do you realize how easy jaedong would have won on FS if he got away with another 3 hat pool-> muta/ling with fast +1 carp into hive? .... that map would be heaven for jaedong compare to how effective his abuse was the two previous games on maps that are HORRIBLE midgame and lategame zvt. Jaedong took away flashes opening options in this series, flash was going 7rax in set 4 regardless. Game 1 JD 12pool/11gas Game 2 3 hat before pool, fake 3 hat muta into double island expo + double evo gaurdian/ultra rush. Game 3 3 hat before pool -> 3 hat muta/ling with +1carp into fast ultra. Game 4 overpool -> 3 hat mutalisk-> standard zvt. Jaedongs strategic gameplan for the series made it hard for flash to abuse his aggressive versus greedy styles that he variates on zergs so well. I still think mechanically flash is the best player in the world but jaedongs prep put him miles ahead of flash mentally. Flash showed us nothing new this series which for him and his talents just doesn't make sense. If you didn't know who was playing in all four games it could have been hwasin,sea or flash. There was not really any of the crisp flash we've seen lately. actually flash played very hwasin in game 2 and 3. fast ebay for +1 attack | ||

I wonder if it should matter if the maps are fair or not. Even if statistics don't come into play, there's the matter that Jaedong prepared a VERY specific strategy for the map that wold be completely obliterated in a regame. | ||

Yeah, and your point somehow makes a normal gg win/loss the same as a power overload, as if MBC didn't have a hand in it. | ||

Ya, so when was the last time you watched a football game? XD No, I see what you mean and I agree. Not messing with the authorities is obviously the smarter thing to do -- I alwasy did think that as a professional sportsman, you needed to have a measure of 'suck it up with a smile' mentality no matter how retarded the ref is being because you just can't win. But it isn't easy, not everyone's cut out to do it personality-wise, and bringing up football in which players regularly get a red card for arguing against their yellow (or a yellow for arguing against a team mate's yellow) was probably not the best example. | ||

Jaedong was definitely way ahead in game 3. Perhaps Flash could have dropship'd Jaedong's 3'oclock base, which if I recall correctly had 2 or 3 sunkens and no nydus, and thus reduced Jaedong to 2 mining bases and 3 gas (Jaedong's main looked pretty mined or just about to). However, Jaedong probably would have countered to Flash's min only and taken the game if that had happened, as Flash didn't have too many units. However, as we cannot see their resource counters, who knows, though Flash's macro suggests he was probably low on minerals and gas. We also don't know how low the vessels were on energy - what if they had 72 energy or something close to irradiate? If only MBC adopted the resource counter in use by both OGN and TSL (MSL catching up to foreign tourneys in tech? lol?). So, while it didn't look like either player had a particularly good econ (pulling drones to his newest gas makes no drones on minerals at 7 for Jaedong), Jaedong definitely had a better econ, all his tech, and probably good map control, and almost certainly would have won. However, it's just wrong to lose a game like that, where you don't get eliminated and you didn't gg yet, even if gg was probably close. Now, it seems MBC is low on money and so this would be infeasible, but I would have preferred that the entire series be delayed, and picked up a week later with a bo5 on Odd-eye with Jaedong starting 1-0 to determine who gets the game 3 point, and then playing game 4 and 5 out. But, since this is not possible, giving Jaedong the win was the only viable choice for Kespa, and KT shouldn't have delayed the game for so long, as it definitely didn't help out Flash's mental state. I mean, who the hell attacks a sunken line with less medics than sunkens, and not many marines to boot? Also, what is this I heard in the live report thread about a fan breaking into Flash's booth? Is it true? If so, MBC is even more at fault than before. If the venue weren't bad enough to begin with... not even playing live in front of the audience... booth incursions would be even worse. | ||

Flash wasn't getting hir third up he had it up... Plz stop making maybes... your not sure as no one is because theres no fucking replay!!! The regame was the corret choice we all know it, many said that JD practice more for that match or that use a special build, who cares? the match wasn't over that was the map to play rematch was the correct choice. | ||
