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. Obviously there's the bit about the playoff game, but in this scenario, we're clearly not in a position where we could simply pick up a Starcraft game from where it left off. The alternative would be a rematch from scratch, which should be the absolute last resort and in this particular instance, I think it would have been unwarranted given the fact that there was such a clear advantage. Of course it'll always be an argument, but my point was merely to state that such a decision isn't unprecedented in the sporting world and shouldn't reflect negatively on KeSPA just because they happened to make it. The funny thing about Baseball's rule to me is that it only requires the game to be more than half over (the same with Motorsports). I think we can all agree that Game 3 of the MSL was probably well past that point when the blackout happened.. | ||

The game picks up from where it left off. It was this, but the bases were loaded and there was a slugger going up against a very tired pitcher. | ||

Jaedong in OSL wasnt in top form either, but that prevented no one from saying JD's ZvT is not the best anymore. Or "standard or cheese, whatever Flash rapes Jaedong". | ||

Well, I don't think the situation was nearly as dramatic as you paint it to be. The major battle for 7 o'clock was already over and Flash was headed back to defend his expansion with what little troops he had so I would view it as 9th inning with 2 outs and no runners on base while behind 5-1. Possible? Yes. Likely? No? Should it have been played out? Of course, but that's impossible given the blackout and lack of a save file. The main question is, should 8 2/3 innings of play be thrown out because of the rain? Obviously everyone has different opinions regarding this... Even with set rules in the MLB, fans always rage when games are decided by rain. It's obviously no different here. KeSPA really was put into a horrible situation here. Unfortunately someone has to get shit on, and in this case it happened to be Flash. | ||

I'm busting ass on a school assignment that's due in 3hrs15min right now, but if I've still got any steam left when I finish I will make another OP with my argument. no, post it here there's a million threads already hahahahah anyway, motbob's analysis of the game is spot on. i am without question in favor of a regame. i find the idea that it's "more unfair to jaedong" because his build only works once to be completely ludicrous. that one-in-ten chance of flash winning is enough to warrant a rematch | ||
