WCG is a one time a year thing and loosing at an early stage is very disappointing especially for a Korean player who has the potential to become the final champion. ANd also, this opportunity might never come again because its maybe even harder to qualify for the WCG prelim in Korea than it is to be top 3 in WCG Finals.

I understand what he did. Of course he doesn't want to face a player from the same nation, from the same team, and his mentor.

I would have done the same no matter what other people would say

This kind of behavior is highly unfair. MIdas should be banned. It is cheating. Behavior like this will force organizers to realese brackets after the group stage.

I wish all involve will be thrown out as soon as possible.
Pathetic Greta hater.

Midas says he doesnt want to seem BM, but this is one of the most BM things he can do. It seems as though the koreans are trying to make sure the greatest number of them possible have a chance to win it all or at least win money. They should take the luck of the draw, play their best, and leave it at that. Playing like this shows very little sportsmanship. I've lost a little respect for those guys.


remember he felt bad about it :O

WTF, The players shouldn't know the other group results. This is not fair play... If Midas throw the game, he should be diqualifyed !. Shame on him

I've never understood why they don't random the 2nd round matches so situations like this never occur.

Maybe..maybe Midas didn't want to throw the game but maybe he had to. What's different from Korean culture and Western culture is respect for elders. Of course there exists respect for elders in the Western culture but in Korea and elder's words are all there is to it. If the coach of GO and Xellos asked Midas to loose, he has to. He can say no and just win but then he will be hated by Xellos, GO coach, and many other players and fans and be labeled as a kid with no respect.

The comments about beign disqualified and shit like that is from fucking dumbasses.

How do you think you determine "trying"? You cannot remove these kinds of plays from tournament play, and this is not only uncommon but taken for granted in strategy. Who is to say that if Midas tried he would win? You woudl need to prove that if Midas put in "effort" he would win 100%, which is not the case, regardless of how much the skill gap is.

Do you think they care whether YOU care if it was "fair play or not?" It's like people going DT rush is newbie and therefore should not have to do it. They come here to WIN, and this is not cheating - Midas could have easily tried to play a good game and screw up. The only reason he might have done it the way he did (I have yet to see the rep) was to preserve some dignity and show to the people of the SC community he was not trying but to the rest of the nonsc gamers at wcg present some kind of "GG".
too easy
