EPTThe bug is not only achieved by a turret building under it either. It can be done from just flying the ob to the top of the turret (if it lives, which it usually can).

Like what if the terran builds a turret under my obs, should I be now responsible to move it elsewhere? And of course fuck you Tasteless, you should be banned instead. If you saw it why didn't you stop the game right away and notify the corresponding person that he is about to do something against the law. Would it ruin the game? NO. Would one of the player's get unfair advantage? NO. Would it prevent this Disaster from happening? YES. | ||

you just have to press s many times and the turret starts firing and observer dies.. and honestly, if someone abuses this through making a turret not work for 5 seconds right before they're zealot bombing, they deserve the advantage:[ | ||

Instead, they want to switch to real life soap of progamers because the games themselves aren't interesting enough for the audience. At least that's what one of the guys said at WCG US. | ||

Some of the Koreans i asked there said it was illegal in Korean tournaments too. Anyways, i didn't know it was going to cause a shit storm of drama. I do think it's very important for a tournament to uphold it's rules, regardless of how minor this bug abuse was. | ||

it's more that there really shouldn't be a rule against that bug. and if there is a rule against both this bug, and say, peonstacking, or even more severe bugs, the penalty for the two cannot be the same.. if someone did a fast flying drone and expanded to an island after 2 minutes of the game, disqualifying them from the entire competition seems proper. but that, and wasting 25/75 to make something that costs 75/0 not work for a temporary period of time, can't really be compared, at all. | ||

They determined what his punishment was and things moved on. If its not worth arguing about why the rules are in place then its not worth arguing about how the punishments to the rules are handed out. | ||

If there is a non-hardware related problem in the game, the game is not paused. Players submit a complaint after the match is finished which is what Ex did. How can you even say that about Tasteless? We, the admin crew, saw it in game and were discussing what to do about it. As soon as the game finished, Ex came over and submitted a complaint. After what seemed to be a bit, the decision was made to regame. | ||
