M&M are cheap, he could of easily replenished his army and get a 3rd expansion. His CC that was done was for the mineral only, which I mentioned. In any case, at that moment, not looking into the future, Jaedong was slightly ahead. | ||

If the same thing happened to Jaedong, I wouldn't expect Jaedong to play very well afterward either. It doesn't matter if Flash is a "kid", it matters that he is a human being and not even the superhuman Jaedong would have the mental fortitude to play 100% after having his dad kicked out of the studio and arguing with kespa refs for an hour. | ||

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. I'm 100% serious and my idea is the only fair way to decide the issue (far more fair than a regame which screws the player who was in the lead), apart from maybe some impractical scenario where you regame but give some sort of advantage to the player who was winning (maybe let them pick the map?). People just have a poor understanding of probability and therefore a skewed idea of fairness. Just look at all the people who play the lottery. | ||

Yeah, just remember how horrible Jaedong was playing at the time of the FA incident. | ||

This. Out of the three finished games, Jaedong won two, and had a significant advantage in the third set when it was aborted. Clearly he deserves to win. Yes, it was controversial, but what are you going to do? Replaying the Odd-Eye game wouldn't be fair to Jaedong, his likely winning preparation blown. [/QUOTE] Game 4 didnt mean anything, Flash was mentally gone at that point and was never going to win it. It certainly cant be used as a basis to judge the two players skill level. Game 3 should have been replayed. In every sport in the world you always replay a game unless their is a decisive advantage. Otherwise you defeat the common element of sport. That a player/team can come back from a losing position. Jaedong was slightly ahead but theres no way he had a decisive advantage. By not replying the game Jaedong is denied a proper victory. No one impartial can look upon this series and determine Jaedong to be the greatest player in the world because we simply don't know what would have happened. Thats completely unfair on him. The whole point of playing and winning a tournament is to unarguably assert your superiority and its why the game had to be replayed. What would have happened if the power had gone 5 minutes earlier when Flash took out 1 or when he was attacking 3. Should Flash have been awarded a win in this situation. Absolutly not. Kespas philosphy and therefore rules are fundamentally flawed. Today is a sad day indeed. | ||

The only 'semi-fair' thing to do (and I'm sure this would be argued like every other solution) would have been to schedule a rematch (not tonight, but in a few days/week or so). Either keep it as a 1-1, or start with a 0-0. This gives both players time to come up with whatever strategy they want (can even make it a different map, like a proleague map or something). edited to give post more content. | ||

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.

So giving the regame would've been unfair to Jaedong, but giving the free win was unfair to Flash. Either way this was a lose/lose situation, I think what I've learned today is that someone can still keep up with Flash in todays starcraft era. (excluding game 4 because flash was mentally broken down). Jaedong played better in my opinion and deserved the MSL Final victory. I am kinda biased towards Jaedong, but I do think if they replayed the game, it would've been as unfair as giving Jaedong the free win.All of the pre-game preparation would've gone down the drain. He would've been crushed after that game and having to repeat it again, pulling off all the saves he made that game couldn't have been an option if they replayed it. GG tho, hyped up final was living up to its name UNTIL the blackout. CYA IN WINNERSLEAGUE KT | ||

No, the main problem with your idea is there is no correct way of determining the exact probabilities. | ||
