Testie had the advantage. not just becoz of the lead in supply or resources. The advantage was also in the building sequence. breakdown chose to tech and mass hydra , which played right into the build of Testie. HT hardcore zealots chew through hydras. lurker tech was too late to be effective. The timing and control of Testie's first breakout attempt was a bit off, otherwise he could 've won the game right there.

Some players value the prize more, some value their pride more..

So you tell me.. Where's the pride in everyone hating your guts? Where's the pride in refusing a regame?

i believe both players have behaved very badly, specially since this is a competition for the community. Its really egoistic and disrespectable to Gosugamers.net to act in this way. None of them should be granted with the award.

I don't see everyone hating their guts, I look at testie, possibly one of the most skillful yet bad mannered foreign bw player, always acting in an immature manner, interestingly has ocean of fan boys everywhere.---(Even though in this particular incident, I can understand why he claimed a win and denied a rematch initially..)

Regardless of who was "the one being gay" or whatever, now that they've both had time to cool down, they should reschedule and play the last game.

If I were admin I'd simply say, a rematch will be played. If both players come willingly. If one agrees to play and the other refuses, default win to the willing. If both refuse, admin decision.

Done and done.

HOWEVER, If at any point both players refuse a regame, then testie should be awarded a win since it was breakdown d/c

the point is, regardless of who gets appointed "king" if they don't play a regame, neither player will be remembered as a winner. this showmatch will remembered as the showmatch that ended 3-3 and then both players chickened out from playing. there's no real pride in winning that, however a prize would still be a real prize. bragging worths are big motivational factors for many players, but what's there to brag about when you play 3-3 and refuse to play the final game?

They refused to play the final game not to end the game as 3-3 status but to obtain a win without any risk of losing from playing another game, regardless of the fact that they both believed that they were in the lead. (Since they would've regamed for sure if they knew they'd take the next match 100%) Well one thing is for sure, it's hella better to be remembered as a winner due to forfeit than as a loser.--> Especially when testie is always going on about the winning ratio against other players.

There wasnt a clear winner. Testie behaved bad manner, and after it, Break did. Still kinda strange, that Break says he didnt disc, so i dont know whats the truth now, after all.

I didnt watch the replay until now, but after all these reads i only come to one conclusion ( Trek and Ret, and many other think testie had advantage , eri , naz, twisted, and others think break had advantage), its as simple as this if u ask me :

Why do so good gamers not agree ? Because you cant really now who would have won this game, because it was all about a few questions : 1) Would Testie attack early enough, or after the lurks would have been spawned ? 2) Would he win vs the hyds with his troops ? it would have been all about the two players micro.. 3) Would have any of the two players made a big mistake ..!?

So this again shows us it would have been all about what would have happened in the next minute.. or maybe minutes.. NO ONE can know this..

So theres only one answer.. make a last deciding game OR a bo3 for the decision..

i think everyone should agree with this.. the canadian testie lovers.. and the breakdown lovers..

Don't you not agree that it makes more sense than giving breakdown a win if both players refuse to regame?
