EPTEDIT: The "idiot" referee was probably in "panic" whether he would DQ him or not. Remember, it is his job. If he was reported of not enforcing a rule, he could get axed.

Blame the organisation (which a lot of people are of course) He's getting flamed for doing his job poorly. The job of a referee is to enforce rules based on the situation and not blindly. Screen flickered during a rather critical moment, Leta SLAMS on the "p" key but only gets 2 out and he gets DQ'd? This is ridiculous and a ref actually doing his damn job would have realized this instantly. Everyone knows that rules can't possibly cover every situation, that's why you have ref's there to interpret them based on what just happened. | ||

 This is just stupid. Didn't they give any other explanation apart from "it was pp, not ppp"? I could imagine sth along the lines of pp being two identical letters, and so it may be confused with the variations of gg (for a split second)? Eh, It's still just stupid. | ||

I agree actually, tough shit for Leta yeah but if e-sports is ever gonna be more professional you need to follow the rules. | ||

What does that even mean?I agree actually, tough shit for Leta yeah but if e-sports is ever gonna be more professional you need to follow the rules. This is a spectator sport. Things like "zizi yO" are just players putting their own style into things. There isn't anything wrong with that. In this case, that isn't even the problem. Leta messed up when he was typing, and now KeSPA is acting like he actually did something wrong, issuing him a "warning". What's going to happen if he types "pppp" at some point? He's already been warned, so... he gets kicked out of the next OSL or something? It's just bullshit. | ||

Too bad everyone is so quiet and respectful in Korea, I'd have ripped the monitor out and thrown it at the referee. | ||

For progamers, I think typing p twice is alot easier and is very similar to typing gg. I'm thinking somebody will type ggg sometime and then be disqualifed for that. hey, it's really not had to say ppp or gg. following these rules should be no problem for even elementary school kids. Kespa wants to keep things strict, so they seem more professional than easily forgiving those who break the rules. i do agree that it'd be much easier if it was pp than ppp  | ||

There is no parallel to be drawn between gg yo and doing some sort of idiotic dance or whatever. Adding the "yO" is actually a sign of respect. So you don't really have a point here. | ||

What you type to end the game has absolutely NOTHING to do with creating a professional sport -_- Stupid rules are stupid. Progamers should mass protest by typing zizi yo and pp until they either dq every progamer or change their retarded policies. OR they could do a regular strike like they did once before (I dont remember why or what came of it, IIRC it was for an increase in wages). | ||
