If Dustin still holds on to the point of no LAN or tournament mode then god help blizzard. It was so disappointing to see the DC. The only counter argument is that LoL requires internet therefore SC2 should be fine but in reality its an issue that could be avoided and one that has come up before

LAN isn't really the answer here. Game saving would solve both internet and LAN disconnect issues.


Game saving seems like a good compromise since LAN will never happen in sc2 and will fade from most games going forward.

What lost the game for ST was the lack of stable connection and lack of LAN or some sort of save game on disconnect. GOM were put in an impossible situation. It was an absolutely perfect chance to show those big heads at Blizzard why LAN is needed, the disconnect couldn't have been in a more perfect place. The whole thing was a mess and I think the regame was justified. It was impossible to tell what PartinG would have done. Who knows, maybe he would have made a mistake allowing MKP back in the game with his production units.

Even without any forward pylons, PartinG had his warp-ins ready and he was 40 army supply ahead. Ye, certainly MarineKing is a good player, but I don't think it was doable. Even if MarineKing fends off that attack, he will have to fend off double supply of protoss army with terran army. It's just a clear "no".

I said it once but I'll say it again, MKP's situation was far from a clear defeat.

PartinG was scattered, he had a minimum of units attacking MKP's base.
PartinG was forced to warp units at home because he didn't have a forward pylon, while MKP's production was about to pop.

PartinG had his Warp Prism out of position in MKP's nat or main, I saw go up there in the heat of battle. It would have been sniped by vikings quickly, and even if he relocated he couldn't defend it from 6 vikings with so few stalkers actually close by.
PartinG couldn't even warp into MKP's base because he for one had minimum resources and then he had use his warp cycles.

PartinG didn't have his HT with his army and his army was scattered, some in the middle going towards MKP, some in his base.

MKP had the superior position, he was on high ground, with a wall, with SCVs to be pulled to mass repair and slow the zealots.

PartinG's zealots would have worked against him trying to fight up ramps and in chokes, if he would have comited to a frontal assault he would have been wiped out, he had to wait for his reinforcements, which would have bought MKP even more time to regroup.

MKP could afford to sack some SCV's because he still had the backing of MULEs from 5 orbitals.

Now, if PartinG was in the main base, with all of his army, with his Gates ready to warp in and with a Prism right there, I would absolutely say PartinG would have won. But matter of fact, PartinG had none of those advantages. MKP's situation was grim, but he was far from out and he had pulled comebacks from worst.


Completely agreed with his argument. If it was any other players, I would give PartinG a win, but this is MKP we are talking about, and I have seen time and time again when he would pull a comeback in an impossible situation, and last night's situation was easily one of those.


I agree with it as well. Parting had a huge advantage would probably have won, but it wasn't set in stone. MKP was mining from at least three bases and most of his infrastructure was still intact... only three of his barracks on the low ground were being camped. Crazier comebacks have happened. Parting could've made a mistake. It doesn't take much to lose gateway units to stimmed 3/3 bio.

PartinG's army was scattered, not all in one place, his HT where at home and it would have taken an eternity to cross the map. PartinG's Warp Prism was out of position in MKP's base, ready to be sniped by vikings (5 of them with upgrades 1 shot WPs). Even if the it wasn't out of position he didn't have enough stalkers at the front line to defend the WP if MKP wanted to snipe it.

Lastly PartinG was forced to go up a choke, into a ramp, defended and repaired by SCV's plus his army about to pop. And lastly PartinG didn't have neither the resources or the warp ins to use the prism right away.

MKP's odds where much, much better then people make them out to be. I'm not saying he would have won, but it isn't totally inconceivable either, so the rematch was justified.

Parting would have most likely won due to having that Warp Prism perfectly ready to reinforce, but nobody can say for 100% certain especially since if anybody could come back from a situation like that it would be MKP. The real injustice is that if Parting would have won, he now is robbed of a clean victory.

It's a shame we have to have these discussions. :|

The question shouldn't be whether a remake was in order or who had the better army, the question should be why this shit is still happening and why Blizzard hasn't taken means to fix it.

... I go to sleep after a headache of reading the LR topic and wake up to see this topic...

do we really need to have this discussion in a new topic again? I feel like I've said the same thing about 10-15 times already in the LR topic to disprove most of what was said anyways.

People forget that there was a warp prism in MKP's main. Therefore everything that would have popped out from those barracks would have died. There was no reinforcments of MKP to speak of.

people also forget there are 6 vikings that could've easily taken out the warp prism
and that parting at the time of the screenshot only has 200/500, and probably wouldn't warp in a ton of ht's in the opponent's base with no energy to storm
also wouldn't warp in 2 zealots to derp around
whereas mkp has a ton of barracks other than the 3 forward barracks.


Can people stop re-introducing the same arguments Over and Over and Over again?

Here's something to think about: If the game had DC'd when Bomber was calling down a manner mule in the game vs. MKP, would you have given the win to Bomber?

The reality is, regardless of what you say, the finals will always have that looming question mark for how authentic it was. Because there's no doubt that STQ was playing very nervously after the call. Smart thing would've been to give Parting a game, make it BO3 or just give him the damn game and moved on. Now when people say Prime won GSTL S1 you'll always have someone say "but... you know the DC....". And no matter what you argue against it, that will never go away. In fact in the LR, many people called the series over when the regame was announced.

I personally think DJ Wheat and Incontrol jinxed it. They just called it in the latest SOTG that this scenario will happen and here we have it!
And I also think they made a right point saying if there is a slight chance of winning the game by the player whos behind it has to be the regame. For me it seems the only right decision to make after watching the vod like 6 times now

The only way to really determine who has the right of it is, I think, to drop the MKP fans and the PartinG fans into a closed arena, with a scattering of weapons at the middle, and then let them fight to the death. Whoever is still alive, is right.

Seriously, though, it's a silly argument to get into - With these two players, it could still have gone either way at the time of the DC, even though it appeared that PartinG had the better of that engagement. We don't, and can't, know how the rest of the game would have played out. The players didn't have a say in the decision - it was up to the GOM referees, and they decided the way they did. I assure you that Mr. Chae probably spoke with Mr. Browder quite... emphatically... about the DC at that time, and probably will again.

Best part of the DC? The guy with the "Dustin Browder is here, get your pitchforks" sign.

Most of those vikings were close to the 3 forward rax and were not in range of the warp prism. They were also being shot at by stalkers when MKP dropped. MKP had 21 food in production and that's counting whatever he was making in the rax Parting was camping, so no huge reinforcement was about to happen.

It wasn't a clear cut 100% loss for MKP but i feel like some people here exaggerate MKPs production or ignore some of the more subtle things Parting had in his favor.

Parting was lightyears ahead. I like MKP, but he was gonna lose, and judging by the look on his face, he knew it.
