There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's perfectly fair-play. This does not hurt his "manner level." | ||

Sorry, I acted kinda touchy on my previous post, and the guy from Poland (forgot your name sorry) presented really good arguments about possible solutions and why he felt it was unfair (although that betting analogy wasn't really clear). Chris307, what have you seen that makes you feel his Tvp is that intense? Any reps you can share?  | ||

Of course Midas doesn't want to face him. He would have felt bad if he actually went to face Xellos and had to either win or lose. | ||

2)its up to their national honor.maybe they have too.i heard that in pro team,progamers should obey the coach,i guess the coach ask midas to take a dive and he himself is willing to do so. 3)to avoid this,wcg should learn from olympic games.in table-tennis and some other games, a nation only has one player,or all the players of the same nation should be in the same half. 4)see the euro-champion league,set the lineups after group matches. | ||

It's so different, if you just don't want to face a player because he's good, than if you don't want to face him, because he's on the same team as you. And also: Midas is out of Star League. This is his biggest chance to become well-known (look at ogogo, the same thing happened to him). If he comes in 2nd, and Xellos 1st, people will still think, that he's very skilled and has alot of talent, but he just happened to lose vs. the perfect Terran. But if he loses to Xellos before the finals, 1) he does not have a good rank and 2) people will say things like 'android would've beaten him two' or things like that. I don't think, he liked throwing the game away, but if this tournament is so important for you, everyone here would've done it, I think. | ||

Instead of following the rules, the Koreans think they're above it. Now a person who would not have to face Xellos in the original draw has to, how is it fair for him? It's an issue of sportsmanship, if you want the world to take your "sport" seriously, you don't allow things like this to happen. There would be outrage and an investigation if something like this happened in the olympics and since the WCG is trying to be the gaming olympics, it's an apt comparsion. Midas obviously knows its not the right thing to do, because if he thought it were, he would have just left in the first minute or not even even played. Instead Midas pretended and put on a show, using a strategy though unconventional and stupid, but if questioned he could defend. It's sickening how amoral these Koreans act. | ||

I guess it's a difference culture, in the socalist heaven of Europe, where all morality is relative, throwing a game is fine, but where I live it's consider cheating and in all sports is prohibited. | ||
