I really think what he is doing is trying to illustrate to the wide world of noobs that Flash wasn't coming back from that. This issue has been irritatingly rampant, so why not applaud Kwark for working to dispel it. Because Kwark is a dumbass for not realizing that giving a win to someone in any situation is terrible. A replay would have hurt Jaedong but it also would have been the fair thing to do, and the whole thing with Flash's dad and KT wouldn't have happened, leading to a fairer game 4. Although there is no truly fair solution with the power going out, and whoever won regardless of what happened after that should get an asterisk next to the win. | ||

He earned a win when he defended Flash's allin at 7 and won the game. Flash hadn't typed out yet but the game was over. The formality of the typing out is important and ideally I'd be all over that. But it's not so important as the denying of a clear cut victory in the MSL finals. And those are your options. Option 1, say "sorry Flash, I know you weren't planning to type out for another 20 seconds but that's the way it is". Option 2, say "sorry JaeDong, you gotta do over, better hope that build works twice lol". The choice seems pretty clear cut to me. | ||

In a smaller venue I would agree, since no one would want their time wasted with a rematch. But in a Flash vs Jaedong MSL finals? As a fan I wanted a Best of 5 with complete games all around. I don't think anyone would complain about another game of Flash vs Jaedong. | ||

Stooping to personal attacks hardly makes your rote, inciting, comments more convincing. | ||

Let him play on a proleague map then, you'd think that with WL coming up they have builds prepared for those. To me, the formality is what's important because it's the FINALS. It should be uncontested, and leave us with an undisputed better player. That's not what we got, especially with game 4 being what it was. | ||

That's not what we got, especially with game 4 being what it was. You honestly think it'd be less contested if JD won a game in all but name (as he did in game 3) and then had it taken away? Really? Imagine if Flash won game 3 then JD won game 4 and Flash won game 5. Everyone would know that it should have been 3-1. There would still be no doubt that JD won the original game 3, just as there is no doubt about it now. The difference is that it cost him the series. I don't get how you can say that in order to make the winner less disputed you should take away a win from a player. Someone had to get something. Flash getting a regame would be way more disputable (such as the 3-2 win situation I mentioned above) than this was. | ||

You finally have come around to making a comment that is relevant to this thread if interpreted a certain way. You frame it in a way that is totally irrelevant though, which is confusing. Also, to suggest they play on a map for which they did not have the week of preparation is ludicrous. It boggles the mind how you would consider a spur of the moment rematch on a map that wasn't on the lineup would be more fair than awarding the game to the player who was winning by a vast margin. | ||
