Whoops, I had it as 50k. Brain fart.

I have no concept of the Korean currency or surely I would have realized that that is an absurd amount for a fine :X

I think the fine is fairly harsh. The suspension seems just, but a cash fine seems abit out of the ordinary for such cases. I guess there was a need to appease the rage that's been going around.

Really? Man, 500K of FINE for the Committee? Fuck you!

I will translate this right now



KeSPA started an emergency referee committee meeting on the 27th, and discussed matters regarding the pause and judgement (re-judgement) in the game between Flash and Shine on the 26th in the Tving OSL, and has admitted that the referee responsible (Woo ?) had made mistakes in his judgement.

Referee Woo had decided at the time that "the match could be continued after bring out (loading) the save", but then immediately after because the save file didn't respond and encountered technical problems, he thought that continuing the match would be too difficult, so he announced a re-game.

Kespa elevated the issue and had a committee discuss the event, Referee Woo said "When Shine requested a pause it was possible to give Flash the win, but since the match was already announced to continue, giving Flash the win at that point seemed unreasonable."

But the referee committee thinks, that since a save file problem was confirmed, the game could not be continued, so it should have been judged as a disconnect, so the game would have been paused again, and at this point giving a player the win was more opportune. The referee has also personally apologized on his social medias, saying "There is responsibility with making a judgement call, it's because (I) of following the decision that changes to the rules (ruling) can't be made."

After that, the Kespa committee admitted that the referee made a wrong judgement, and there existed problems of not exposing / making public the details of the event, not making a thorough judgement call, and other problems. As such, the committee fined Referee Woo 500,000 won, and removed him from the referee roster of this OSL.

The committee has also apologized to Team KT Rolster / Samsung Khan, Flash, and main coaches Lee and January.

can anyone explain the use of saved games? i don't understand why they couldn't just unpause the game and let it continue. Or did Shine have to leave the game to change his settings?
