Just out of curiosity, what would have happened if he had just left the game without gg?

Or, to take it one step further, started to destroy his own buildings?

I would assume that a warning from kespa would ensue, but I'm curious to know (as there is probably a rule) about what would happen if he had just left the game without saying gg.

We should have a Team Liquid wide word filter: Kespa --> Failspa

Kespa made the rules a bit harsh. They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that they are hosting e-sports tournaments. I mean, come on. Is that rule really necessary? I, for one, would like to see if players can spam continuously while both microing and macroing - that would be a true display of skill.

Kespa needs to stop taking themselves so seriously.

I love how people don't even know the rules and argue anti- or pro- kespa-rules.

Plus calling people stupid and than saying you can get banned for any chat but "gg" or "pp/ppp" is embarassing, because that just ain't the case.

I guess referees are just bored to have noting to do but hosting the games.

"WOWOWOWOWOW I CAN DISQUALIFY A PLAYER ONCE IN MY FUCKING BORING LIFE!!!"

Honestly, I don't see what job can be less interesting than starcraft referee. It's just sad.

they should just disable the enter keys on player's keyboards. no chat by players. defeated guy just leaves when he thinks its over.

maybe it could also be a conditional rule, depending on the players themselves. if they both agree to have chat on, then they can type whatever they want.
gg, or iminurbaseeatingurdrons or norush15min or gay or urmom - even if one player gets tricked somehow by this the players agreed to chat so its ok and referees just ignore it.
if any of the players states he does not want to chat before the game, then both enter keys are disabled. to admit defeat you just quit. you can congratulate your opponent after the game anyway, not typing gg is in no way "bad manners" like some think.

Goddamnit. Just realized I double liquibetted Gorush. He would have smashed Backho AND tester... SHIT! But seriously, these disqualifications are getting fucking ridiculous. KESPA needs to stop trying to get themselves into the games. They aren't playing so they should butt the fuck out and stop making people mad.

GoRush did lose the first game...

Damnit, I was really pulling for GoRush.

Ridiculous rules, you can tell just from his face that it was completely accidental.

I'm curious as to what's going on internally with KeSPA. Hasn't the organization been around for years now? It seems like these problems arose only very recently, within like the past two years.

And like many other in this thread, I don't see how changing the rule to "only gg or GG can be typed" addresses the issue of typing out early.

I mean, by the new rule, Backho can still prematurely type GG, but if he types zizi yO after losing he gets a forfeit loss?

It really, really doesn't address anything. And I'm not sure what the point of the new rule is.

Btw do you have to type "gg" before you leave the game according to the new rules? I would get rid of boths enterkeys untill these stupid rules get changed.

Then how would you request for a pause?

Bang the booth as loudly as you can.

Personally I think a fair rule would be requesting a pause should be "any number of p." Why exactly 3? Is 3 such a magic and mystical number that any number of ps that isn't 3 isn't valid?

That's just sad. Kespa should seek professional help. And I'm serious here. Like a professional tournement rules reviewer or something like that. I'm sure there must be someone who does that for a living.
