Perhaps a decision is pending? July looked pretty mad. my korean isn't exactly great, but from what i understood from the announcement, it ended with "however, given that bisu had such and such, and july had his hydras, july gets the win." i'm fairly sure about the "july gets the win" part at the end. | ||

So officials ruled that July won? Would have liked to see Bisu concede graciously though. GG anyway | ||

Removing your headphones and your computer crashing aren't really the same thing. yes, it's not the same thing. in savior's case, he did something wrong and they had a rule for it, and he got a penalty point. in bisu's case, he did nothing wrong and they had a rule that would have helped him, and it was not applied. | ||

If you come with a financial argument, you have to see that things like conceding the game out of manner when it was clearly over are the things that form ur image as an Idol for the fans. The more fans, the more money u can earn. | ||

Looks like someone is spiraling downwards.  In other news Lee Jae Dong is on an 11 game winning streak and is 16-1 in his last 17 games. With his recent win he also climed to 4'th in ELO peaks behind only Oov, Savior, and Nada and is now an undisputed ass-raping monster. | ||

It would have be an absolute disgrace if Bisu got a regame there. Rules are there for a reason, but they have to be flexible. If there is any doubt there should be a regame, but this game was 100% July's. | ||

The more fans, the more money u can earn. i don't think you understand what i'm saying, if progaming was for millions of dollars in salary, an OSL win matters much more than fan perception, as a team will pay for success imo and i talked to mani about this (and we disagree) the best solution is to replay the game from the moment of disconnect (where bisu would 99.99% lose). but since that's not available, they can't award the game to july because there was still a possibility, however small, of him building a gate somewhere in the corner of his base and killing the hydras and coming back. it's like 0.0001% but i think they have to do it. edit: look, i'm not saying the "right" or "fair" outcome didn't happen; july won that game. i'm just saying it's something OGN needs to think hard about. | ||

I can't say for sure given your extremely stretched and hypothetical situation, but I'd expect him to concede the match if he was seconds away from typing "gg". Progamers are regarded as pop idols and quite differently from athletes in other sports. You do not hear girly screams of delight erupt when someone makes a particularly beautiful jump shot. They act by and are held to a much higher standard of honor and sportsmanship, even if its just by their fans. | ||
