Now whichever decision you support basically depends on whether you're a Flash or Jaedong fanboy.
It really doesn't. You can divorce yourself from prejudice and make a rational decision based on the circumstances. I fully understand that there was no 'right answer' to be had, but when someone is a judge, they have to make a decision that is as fair as possible, even when a truly good decision is impossible. You can determine which player would be wronged less by a decision and make that one. This is the route KeSPA took, and I honestly can say I can get behind it. I totally see the argument for replaying the 3rd set despite JD's massive advantage, but I don't think that making the choice that was made was characteristic of a partisan.

No, because that's an awful idea. There is a difference is they suggested a regame (where players would decide their own fate) vs a randomly shot in the dark that involves no effort/training/input, etc. I thought you were just joking at first.

No kidding. I'm not nearly as familiar with the game as many here, but I was blown away by the quality and relative consistency of Flash's medic micro for instance.

Considering how Jaedongs parents acted during the FA situation, I wouldn't be surprised if some major shit goes down with Flash during the next free agency.

If Flash forfeit, walked out or something, would he still have been awarded the money for 2nd place? I kind of hoped he would. I mean, the kid is rich as it is. Eventually, some progamer/coach/manager is going to have to take a stand against KESPA's bullshit and show them that there are actually consequences for raping E-Sports. I'm wondering if that was the reason (money) KT decided not to forfeit...makes sense imo seeing as at that point the series was totally fucked anyways I don't think the sponsors would have been happy speaking of sponsors... i'm sure Nate regrets being associated with the worst starleague in history. seriously even before the shitstorm that happened after the end of game 3, i was developing spite towards the company due to the 500000 consecutive commercials advertising the search engine.
Nate is associated with the TWO worst starleagues in history lol... Nate should never sponsor a starleague again

I thought G3 was pretty much even, only Jaedong slightly ahead economically. I thought Flash could of won G3, especially because Flash was winning so many battles.

One can still understand expected value and be against your solution. To some people, the law of large numbers is more fair than one instance.

Assuming both players mine out main + nat, Flash only had 1 mineral-only base. Jaedong had 3 o'clock and was defending 7, so that gives him 2 mineral bases and 3 gas. That's a pretty big advantage.

I am really torn on this entire mess. Yes a regame would make sense to do, but that would screw Jaedong pretty much up with his game plan exposed, and he was most likely winning that game. Up several bases, maxed upgrades, almost a full tech tree against a Terran just about to go down to 1 base and with a low vessel count. Once Jaedong got plague that game would be all but over. Only thing I am not sure of is how many drones Jaedong had and if he was mining from his 3 and 7 base, really gotta re watch the game.
MBC needs to get their shit together, its not the first time they have technical problems
Really just a sad day for Esports...

KeSPA will just plug in a heater into Chuck Noriss's computer and they'll be a power outa.. err Goodnight TeamLiquid, it was fun not being able to connection your DATABASE 1.

Both time Flash and Jaedong have met in a finals, it has been a complete disaster. The GOMtv Classic Season 1 finals were trash and this is probably the worst fuck-up in the history of e-sports.
Is the Lee-Ssang Rok cursed?
|
giving jaedong game three shouldn't really be the problem, it's how the officials handled the situation. there was no fair way to handle it, but in the very least they could have spent more time reviewing it and presenting their decision to the players, teams and fans, instead of running around for over an hour dealing with angry coaches and flashes dad.

The person really robbed here was Jaedong. To take a win, on heavily favored Terran map, against someone so deadly against Zerg as Flash, that would have been JD's greatest accomplishment, or one of his greatest. The fact that JD couldn't get Flash to type gg - that is just extremely dis-satisfactory. [/QUOTE]
Best summary of game 3 and best conclusion of the outcomes in this post.
I'll stick my neck out, as I'm inclined to agree.

Flash had what, mined out main, almost mined out natural, scv transfer to a mineral only(which doesn't have much mineral patches), and a stunning army of...10 marines?
Jaedong wasn't mined out, he also had 3rd up, swarms and a SUPERIOR army protecting 4th. He'd have to wait for one or two unit production rounds, and, thx to having map control due to superior army and nyduses, would just have to swarm the 3rd and gg.
No he didn't need lurkers against drops. 3/3 cracklings clear drops (of 10 marines keke) pretty easily.

Let's all just blame Kwanro/Calm.
If they never made the MSL Finals last year, then MBC would have rented out a bigger stadium for this season's final and never had this virtual studio. With no virtual studio, the power outage would have never went out.
If the power never went out, then we would have gotten an amazing finals.
So in the end, everyone got Kwanrolled.
LOL.

His CC was pretty much done, Jaedong was still having problems taking out a group of M&M army. M&M are cheap, he could of easily replenished his army and get a 3rd expansion.

The decision itself couldn't have been helped. It had to be made one way or the other.
What was shitty was the lack of transparency. They should have explained their results in objective terms explaining policies already built in so there is not this air of "manipulation" or "bias". That was really the best that they could do in that situation, because either way (replay or give game) fucks someone.
