I'm not expert at all, but understand my point. When you're Terran and have awesome M&M micro you pretty much raise the efficiency of your units by 5 times, that does not ever happen for zerg and that is what allows Flash to look so amazingly sexy with his micro. The drop in 2nd set is proof of this, and I'm sure JD would do the same if his race allowed him to. That JD can actually win games off the best terran ever, flash, amazes me and just proves how clever he is. JD is a great player, and Flash isn't unbeatable, none the less the general census here is that MBC fucked this MSL over. | ||

It was all down hill from there, simply because there is no ideal course of action for this. I'm 100% certain Jaedong was ahead in game 3, but being ahead != victory. People come back from disadvantages all the time and while Flash was definitely behind he was far from being in an unwinnable position. Jaedong would probably have won it, but we will never know, which is a shame. Giving Jaedong the win is obviously a huge blow to Flash, while replaying a game in such a situation is always problematic. Both players already revealed their game plan for the map, a game plan they devised in countless practice games... The best would probably have been to call off the match and replay the series from scratch at different time, especially considering the score was 1-1 I feel it would have been the fairest call all things considered. | ||

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. Why not look at scientific experiments where the expected value is more important than one instance? People with good understanding of probability can still object to your solution. | ||

I'm trying not to sound like a huge ass; but you should probably stop posting if that's the best argument you can come up with. You will find yourself awfully alone if you think re-games shouldn't be standard in SC when there are game failures/crashes. Or maybe you should stop being such a drama queen over a game? The people who had to judge the situation made the decision - like it or not doesnt matter. Everything has flaws mr.perfect from the sc forums and will always be that way. | ||

Live gambling odds are sufficient if there was such a thing. Otherwise statistics based on past games are a lot better than any other solution anyone has come up with. Come on, everyone's like "well, it's a lose/lose situation where someone gets screwed". My solution is the only one where nobody technically gets screwed, although of course it might be disappointing for the audience. The only reason to be against it is because it interferes with people's perception that they're in control of their own fate or whatever, but that has nothing to do with "fairness", and it's certainly no worse than simply awarding victory to whoever was in the lead. | ||

I agree, but I still can't even guess who would have won. does anyone know if KT is still planning to boycott MBC events? someone said the manager swore they wouldn't participate in them again it's so sad looking back at the first posts in this thread | ||

Think about it: - Kespa policy fucks over player - Player's parents go apeshit and step way out of line to meddle in their son's career HMM, I WONDER WHAT THIS SOUNDS LIKE? Hah, I hadn't noticed that. But yeah, you're right. Also, those of you saying that the virtual studio is the only reason why it happened, didn't a proleague game at MBC's facilities end up with the connection dropping? | ||

I think Jaedong should have given up the fourth game though. | ||

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. Not exactly the same stories, but JD won Bacchus OSL during the Free Agency crap. So i guess he would had done better than Flash in this situation. | ||

I really really really hope so. Someone needs to take a stand against this ridiculous shit that e-sports corporations have been pulling. | ||
