Strelok has a valid complaint about a decision being changed days later after he was given a "final" decision from two of the three tournament administrators, regardless of whether the call itself was valid.

well its pretty obvious whats going on here. Nobody is right, its rules vs players vs player vs rules.

artosis and especially rekrul you both come off as VERY biased. artosis is basically purely defending his own decision.

You agreed to run the Valor tournament as a team of admins, you can't change decisions of one admin when he has already told a player a result over 'X' amount of time. Its a pretty basic and logical equation, minus the biased rage you failed as admins, and now BOTH players are taking fault for it.

Okay, this argument is pointless beyond belief but for the sake of it...

ex.

Ro8 Strelok beats Fenix

Ro4 begins: Strelok vs X
Admin: oh we fucked up replay vs Fenix
Strelok: WTF, you made your decision
Admin: Too bad go play...

Now what would you do in this situation? I think it's kinda obvious.

Admins admit they fucked up, but shouldn't punish the player they awarded with the "technical win" It was the admins who fucked up not the players so why should a player that was awarded by the admin have to pay for the admins poor decision?

Fair Play? Yes, but at what cost towards the tournament as a whole?

Some people here are stupid..

If a decision is BAD ( as it seems the first decision was the bad one ) it is actually GOOD if the decision gets reversed. Thats exactly what happened , right ?

It doesnt matter that much at all that it was called a ' final decision '. I mean would you find it good if someone gets the death penalty because it was the 'final decision' when he actually after weeks of proper research was found to be not guilty..

Guys just use your brain..

If the so called 'final decision' was bad, wrong, false, not the best ( name it however u want ) it is absolutely appropriate to change the decision..

and strelok using this as a reason to quit this tournament is in my opinion very childish and immature behaviour..

It's a valid complaint, yes, but it doesn't mean that he should throw a temper tantrum about it.

If Strelok does not want to play in a tournament where bad decisions are corrected, then he doesn't have to. He should drop out. And he is. So all is well.

@Aurious: That's a fair argument, but you should look at it from Fenix's side as well. An unfair decision is made, and Fenix doesn't make top 8 because of it. Then the unfair decision is miraculously fixed! And Leta doesn't get a game loss for typing ppp! This is a good thing!

I think it's safe to say now that this tournament is a failure as it failed to introduce foreigners to Korea in a good light. The lack of quality is understandable because the contestants don't practice 10+ hours a day as the koreans do. The problem lies in their professionalism. It was bad enough to have someone talk trash and swear in a televised game, but to have someone quit merely because he didn't like the decision is childish and unprofessional. Don't expect the koreans to take you guys seriously if you aren't even even going to take each other or the game seriously.

There are only 3 fair outcomes that could have been made:

A: If Strelok had a CLEAR like in FUCKING CLEAR advantage over Fenix he should have gotten a win.

B: Strelok had not that big of an advantage: Replay.

C: Strelok is a nice guy: Replay.


But it came out to

D: Drama!

While I understand some of the points made in this thread I can say that Artosis got it right. Besides that Rekruls posts are the only thing that kept me reading through all this stuff :D.

Strelok should not have quit. I see no reason (besides some which Rekrul already pointed out) for him to quit. Besides that... well there is not much to say...

Strelok, you are overreacting. Your frustration can be understood, but the "I'm not playing with you anymore" is so childish. Your comparison of the admins to the girls who can't decide on a dress is wrong. They have not switched from one decision to another on a whim, but they have corrected an obviously wrong decision. Even more, they agreed to make themselves look like asses but in return have a fairer tournament, which you, like a proper sports man, should respect.

That you had a "better position" in game 2 is not enough to give it to you, only if you had a very clear advantage (3 mining bases vs 1 or something of that sorts) then it should have been ruled in your favor.

Your decision to drop out only makes it worse for people supporting you and cheering for you.

Exactly, being inert when it comes to bad decisions is always bad, though in reply to one point above by another if the decision had been made on say game #3 then it probably would not have been reversed if Strelok had played the RO 4 game, but that would be more because you've gone beyond the point of no return, not because it was the fair decision.

Its understandable that Strelok is pissed off, that's only natural, but sh*t happens the decision doesn't stop Strelok from going out and 2-0ing Fenix to take it 2-1, if I was Strelok I'd rather try and do that than just let Fenix into the semis and potentially get prize money that I could have had.

"A" should be clarified as "fenix was in an unwinnable situation barring strelok getting up and walking away from his computer for the rest of the game"

Please, tell me when you have ever replayed an entire series because 1 game there was a disconnect. That's right, it just doesn't happen! Artosis is 100% right for sticking by his guns. Tournaments are very hard to run (trust me on this) and Lipton probably felt pressure and made a bad decision. By no means does this mean other, more experienced admins can't come back to make the correct decision that is GOOD FOR THE TOURNAMENT.

It doesn't matter if Strelok received confirmation from 2 admins, fact is what he was asking for was ridiculous and as as player like himself who has played in SO many events, he should know this by now.

In other news, I lay fault on the organizers. The fact that Artosis had to step in to make sure this was sorted out is sad.

integrity? my ass, an entire tournaments integrity isnt at jeopardy because someone cries about a controversial decision in which both sides are wrong, but ultimately one of them makes it right. So you're saying you've never made a mistake and completely reversed it later? Did it take away your integrity? No, really let me know. I want to know how pitiful you are. Integrity, fuck off


Completely irrelevant you crying prick. This is a major tournament that is widely advertised and endorsed by GOMTV. It ruins the integrity because days after the decision it was reversed - which makes it inherently unfair. There is no way you can continue playing that match and say that its fair at all because the situation has changed, the players have had more time to practice (or not practice because they may have been led to believe that it's over), etc.... Stop being such a fucking douchebag you arrogant ass.

There's one big thing missing here (maybe I just didn't catch it): What actually happened? After the admins decision, did they play game 3? Or did Artosis come in right away and stop the whole thing? Because it seems like they should have played and there should have been results, which are very important to the discussion.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Come on, use some common sense...just because the admin made a bad desition, you can't just quit becouse a misstake got fixed.

You can blame it on professionalism or whatever you want, but I expected more from you.
