I agree with Mora, because it was Breakdown who dropped and the game could have gone either way, there is really no way Breakdown should be given the win without a regame. Without a regame, Testie should get the win.

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..

gogo regame/s


I must say I totally 100% agree with you.

Now that's a contribution!

Seriously, I'd give the advantage to Testie. I get the feeling he'd break before Lurkers came out, or when they were morphing. He'd kill a couple with storm and run from the rest. Then he'd run and damage break's expansion while the lurkers chase him around. By the time it's over he'd have rob up.
Of course, all that's hypothetical. I mean there's a reason why games don't end when one player has an advantage. Anything can happen. If lurks got up that would've been a bitch to break (damn that maps sucks pvz! could be pissy pvp too if you didn't take the initiative to contain).

lolz it doesnt make sense man . If the rule like that , I dont think Breakdown is stupid not to regame when Testie want to regame .


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


I mean , if both player dont want to re , and then Testie win . So Breakdown is NOT stupid not to re when Testie doesnt want to re either . If Testie doesnt want to re , Breakdown will want a regame to avoid losing to Testie . But if Breakdown want to regame , then Testie will have to re aswell to avoid giving a freewin to Breakdown . So we'll definitely have a regame if there is a rule like that

there is no other way to decide than regame, i mean you cant claim a win in a game like that --
everything can happen :D

but giving breakdown the win would be totally wrong since he is the one who disconnected, though im not saying giving it to testie would be better. Regame and stfu plz;

I feel Testie had the advantage.

But since opnion is pretty much evenly split on who held the advantage, if there isnt a regame, Testie should get the win by default since it was Breakdown who exited the game.

No way should Breakdown get the win without a regame.

It's insanely(heh) hard to say who would really have won. The game could have lead many ways, if Breakdown could have contained Testie badly who had no obs and only zealot/temp, where he could have stormed only one or two lurkers by 2 storms. You just CAN'T say who would have won.

Regame I suppose, but definantly it can't end on Breakdowns favor because he disconnected or dropped, w/e.
It takes a fool to remain sane.

i think breakdown had an advantage but it all came down to the next attack which never got to happen if testie waited to long he was contained with no obs to get out and then i do think break would have would have won.if he came out in time he could have broke out killing the hydras and then the whole game change from there.u really cant tell what will happen so i think they should just both be forced to play no more i think i won shit
I may not be the best player right now but I think I can beat any 'best' players. I'll beat all the best players and become the best player. Watch me. - Jju

Haven't watched the game, dunno, I just think when Testie says he's won a game it's probably true :/ Just from my own experience though. Meh.

So you haven't watched replay and think Testie would have won because he said so?

Come on.

I don't think that's what he's saying, He is just saying that purely based upon his personal experiences with testie it is likely that testie claims a win when he actually has the upper hand.

Final heaven what da hell r u talking about you funny bloke. He never claimed a win against Draco because he stole his gas. He just wanted the game to be cancelled since Draco paused the game for a long time and testie had to leave as his dad brought him a lunch home. It was only 4 minutes after the game has commenced thus he wanted the game to be cancelled.

But the problem with the poll is .. that people will just start voting without even seeing the rep in accordance with their preferance of the players. If we stick to the forum, at least we'll be provided with a reason to why they think one of them was in upperhand.

Damn long thread with only a point RE GA ME.
If i were a GG.net admin I will ask for regame, the player wich disagrees loses, if both disagree kick both of them from KOTH and look for another good match.

This is a game, it is suposed to be played. If something like this happens, the answer should be a regame. Thats my opnion ^^
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good

Yes, because we can always trust Testie's judgement.

Of course I would rematch immidiately versus a respected player such as Breakdown (the only people I would not rematch are those who I dislike, but I wouldn't play a showmatch against them in the first place). There is absolutely no way you can claim an absolute win in a game like that. It's completely ridiculous to think the outcome of this game is 100% sure.

I never said Breakdown was winning by the way. What I meant to say with my post is that the outcome of this game is unclear and Breakdown definitely had a CHANCE of being victorious. Breakdown got dropped from the game, but was never disconnected (from neither bnet nor his own connection), since I believe him when he says that I don't even consider it a 'disconnect' nor would I personally rule it like one. It's not like it took him 40 minutes to log back to bnet so Testie had to wait. He was there and they could have regamed right away, which Testie refused. I can very well understand Breakdown losing motivation to play another day after that. UNDERSTAND. That does not mean I agree with it (before it gets interpreted wrongfully again).


I apologize for taking your original post out of context. Looking back, it's clear that you were not agreeing with breakdowns refusal to regame.

And had i been in Testie's position, i would have also rematched without a moments hesitation. So ultimately i agree with everything you've said. I can also understand how breakdown might not want to rematch after Testie's initial refusal.

However, i think that with the way the situation currently stands, breakdown needs to suck it up and rematch, or accept a loss. I don't feel breakdown is in a position to refuse anything, as it was his starcraft that booted him from the game. I really hope that they can reconcile and have a really awesome, mannered, 7th game-rematch.

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.


what a joke.

Its by far better to go down with pride than it is to be a chicken-shit winner. The players i have the most respect for are ones who are mannered, not ones who can beat me more than i can beat them. And quite frankly, the only opinions that matter are the opinions of the people i respect. The same people that have that manner, sportsmanship, or whatever you want to name the quality that makes competition worth competing in.

Drone is absolutely right. No one is gonna consider either of these guys a winner if they dont finish off the series.

This is ridiculous. I wish the higher tier players wouldn't act so childish.
