EPTThe regame advantaged Parting if anything. MKP was the new player in, the one who was prepared to take Parting out. Just as MKP knew what Parting would do, Parting knew what MKP would do. Parting had plenty of templar and plenty of storms in the regame, MKP didn't kill him before templar at all.

Nobody comes back from such a huge deficit when your entire army gets rolled and protoss is seconds away from being right on top of your unit production facilities. It's so painfully obvious that parting had put himself in an unloseable situation. If anyone actually thinks parting would of lost that game from there than I just.....facepalm. | ||

I dont think anyone's arguing Parting would have lost the game. It's that he could have, which is why you cant award award a defwin. | ||

I don't think a win should be given unless the game is clearly over aka Slayers Boxer incident in TSL 3. | ||

The pirates have been working on trying to get multiplayer to work since the start of beta and they never got it working right. Actually there's cracked multiplayer and has been for a while now.

I don't think a win should be given unless the game is clearly over aka Slayers Boxer incident in TSL 3. You know, MKP had won that game if a d/c had happened at the beginning, where MKP killed almost everything from Bomber with his first attacky. Yet, Bomber came back. Let´s not pollute this thread with other games, please. You can find almost a gazillion situations where a d/c is extremely badly timed in almost any game. | ||

The regame lead to a completely pointless game where MKP knew PartinG´s strategy and profitted from it. It almost was the same game played twice. Only now, MKP knew that he had to kill PartinG well before PartinG has templars/storms out, Last edit: 2012-04-09 02:10:16 did u even watch the regame? they both did the EXACT same builds and MKP did the EXACT same timing attacks how did G1 change the way G2. because PartinG simply is too good with templars for MKP to handle. To everyone saying this cost Startale the finals all i have to say is get real. EVEN if parting was awarded the game the next prime player who ever it may have been could have still won the Finals, Bomber and squritle and curious are all very capable of taking 1 game off MKP he is not unbeatable. so to blame the whole loss of the finals on the fact that 1 player didnt get awarded a win after a DC (whether or not he deserved to be or not is irrelevant). He still could have won the regame and still the rest of his teamates could have beaten MKP | ||

To be honest, the game was clearly in the advantage of Parting that when that disconnect happened, it would've been not fair to award Parting the win. You just can't regame if one player has a definitive advantage and such a huge one at that. Regaming everytime a player is not going to win "100%" of the time is really dumb imo. There's been quite a few disconnects in BW that were closer than this and one player was awarded the win. (FvJ in 2009 iirc, that blackout incident) | ||

Prime now tosses a fresh new player out. this would be completely unfair for parting (and MKP in the reverse sitution) regame or awarding the win are the only possible "fair" outcomes. did u even watch the regame? they both did the EXACT same builds and MKP did the EXACT same timing attacks how did G1 change the way G2.

He still could have won the regame and still the rest of his teamates could have beaten MKP Except they made different decisions and played it out differently. MarineKing went for a drop, instead of busting up a ramp, and PartinG went for Archons instead of feedbacking... both of these decisions impacted by the previous disconnect-game. The stupid thing about the regame was that: Although MarineKing is probably the superior player head-to-head overall, PartinG was just way more prepared for his match (which showed in his impeccable macro and control) while MKP played a bit sloppier (banking minerals&gas/low production facilities, running into a few storms etc.) and it was because of this, that PartinG was able to come so close to winning the first game - one that he proved he deserved. But it was because of this disconnect that he was robbed, and it was followed up by MKP cleaning up his act the next game and proceeding to roll through him. It's a team-league format and a Best of 1, and with it comes the excitement of Las Vegas and IPL 4, but the decision of the regame was based on the idea that a strategy prepared against another player would be viable two games in a row and that PartinG was a better player overall and could win another game with 10 minutes of preparation... which kinda sucks for him  .edit: Tbh, I don't think regames should exist in an all-kill format, because snipers will never be able to execute the same strategy twice and a regame would really cost a team the series if that had happened. | ||
