At least Leta's sacrifice is no longer in vain : /
They really should have a rematch of that set and then an ace match if Leta wins it (especially given how competitive both STX and hite are in the standings, a 1 match difference could mean a lot come playoff time), but that seems about as likely as me winning an OSL

Well after the Leta incident I don't think anyone would ever do the same thing again. But anyway good to hear KeSPA isn't a bunch of stubborn people.

Honestly I thought that after Ruby got screwed everyone should have started using ww to concede. Civil disobedience gogo!

Too bad something like this had to happen for they change the rules, but at least the've learned from their mistakes.

For example, the "gg" rule is still nonsensical and unnecessary - it doesn't even address the problem it was created to solve.


What problem was it? Why is there a GG rule at all? Why can't a player just leave?

From the changed wording, can players chat in game if they feel like? (There's no limits on anything besides conceding defeat)


I think there are other rules not mentioned in this article that forbids that. I think it was made after that game involving Boxer on Forte about how he said his base was small, and his opponent starting checking madly for a proxy.


Hahahahaha. God I love Boxer.

Long time ago, on a far away map called Return of the King, (P)a Protoss who broke his back typed zizi yO before his enemy typed out, which led to some confusion, and (Z)Fists of Fury decided to accept his fate.

28 days later, KeSPA said 'only type gg or we disqualify you'.

28 weeks later, the "what happens if the winner types zizi yO first" issue has yet to be solved.

I think you can leave without typing it. Atleast you don't really have to type it, just destroy your own buildings.

A small step in the right direction IMO, but the rest of the rules are still retarded. I have a feeling that Kespppa is going to fix their rules one by one after a controversy just like this. Instead they should just go over their rules and fix all of their obviously bullshit rules preemptively.

It's good that KeSPA decided to change the rules a bit, I'm disappointed they didn't modify the "gg/GG" rule. Perhaps another one or two incidents and a bit a flame from the netizens will make them change that aswell.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

Oh no they didn't admit. No official statement saying 'sorry, we were retards'.


admission isn't the same as remorsfulness.

They didn't make any official statements, and they refused to answer any of the close-to-200 threads made in their board. Hmm...

What happens to the game is depending on the referee's judgment.


this is what annoys me, the referee was such an idiot. he decided to judge that leta should be disqualified rather than make the more logical judgement of continuing the game.
