woah. This is quite the surprising turn of events. Props to Byun and bad luck Nestea.

Just rewatched the VOD, it does look like it made a material difference AT LEAST for game 1, the distinction between complete block and incomplete block is game changing. However, you cannot conclusively link what happens in Game 1 with the next few matches (tilt etc etc).

"Byun didn't abuse a map bug. He thought this map didn't have depots. Some people will say 'dont be retarded all maps need them', but then i can just reply 'why was nestea retarded as well then and not pause' "

Regardless of whether Byun know its a bug or not , I think no punishments should be handed. It's not his fault, more of the GOMTV and the mapmakers.

Also, IMJunwi needs to not scratch his balls in front of the camera its hurting esports.

Honestly, it is plausible to believe that this was the correct version of the map based on the previous series played by other players on the map where there was no neutral depot. You are gonna tell me that this map has been played for WEEKS and no one noticed it? Come on there had to have been other players that saw it but hadn't had a chance to abuse it.

With that said, Nestea should have either paused the game, or blocked the easily scouted bunker rush.

Ridiculous that naniwa got harsh punishment for being unprofessional by probe rushing but when byun act unprofessionally by abusing a bug that he known had existed, he got away with it.


Bahahaha, because those situations are so very similar. Get out of here please...


lol do you understand anything about professionalism at all? If this is a Kespa game , byun would have been disqualified because he abused a bug on the map that he knew.


I'm amazed at how many posts start off with these moronic rhetorical questions. You should give people the opportunity to ignore you before you follow through with the rant part, and if you insist on being demeaning you should do it in style and at least be entertaining.

if byun's base had a depot and nestea's didn't, then maybe you can claim it's unfair, but the situation was the same for both.

it's unfortunate, yes, nestea should have noticed it, maybe.
but it's not right to call out a player for using a winning strategy.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

That sucks, but players in tennis lose games due to bad line judges and refs. America football teams are expected to play in all weather except for thunderstorms. If their passing game goes is shut down because of heavy rain, they cannot complain. Even in the Olympics when judging was found to be have been done incorrectly, they still allowed gold medals to stand because it was not the players fault the judge made an error(it was a mistake, not score fixing). It is hard, but a defect in the playing field cannot be blamed on the player that takes advantage of it.

Also players should say it's wrong and don't abuse everything they find.


A win's a win tbh. I dont get why he was the only one observant enough to notice = his obligation to inform anyone else..
He lives off the money he makes for playing. Cant expect him to give up a edge when its his livelihood.

Byun probably would've won anyhow, he just looked like a monster out there.

Also gives you a nice perspective for how much reasearch these guys put into their games beforehand.

Nestea (edit: lol :D) should have paused the game as soon as he noticed the missing depot. You cannot complain after you have already lost the game. Just like in tennis (when you have the technology on the court) you can challenge a call during the play, but if you continue the rally and lose, you obviously cannot go back and say "hey that hit 10 strokes ago was out".

And how is a zerg ever supposed to abuse a ramp with no neutral depot?

But yeah, it was a winning strategy. Kinda pathetic, but some are willing to do anything for a win, you cant really blame them for it. In the end it was GOMs fault, not the abuser.

Nestea should have paused and asked for a regame with the proper map the moment he got bunker blocked. Complaining after you have lost is ok but GomTV is stuck at that point as they can't do a regame anymore as that would be unfair to Byun.

It's such a rare situation though that perhaps they could have made an exception and do a regame anyway. I can understand Nestea didn't dare to pause because he was occupied and unsure if it was intentional with the map or not.

dat logic. yes of course because byun was highly at risk to getting blocked off by spine crawlers in the commonly executed double spawning pool spine rush

no one is calling a player out... except maybe it was a cheesy ass strat

people are calling gom out for using a map that is missing a key component that was instituted for balance's sake

no, nestea would have needed to ask for re-game as soon as he scouted no depot


he can't wait till the bunkers are down and go 'OMG'

and this 'not allowed to pause excuse' is a nogo. He has the 'nestea' award, he knows GOM doesn't give auto-losses like that

How is it pathetic? All is fair in love and war. If anything this shows NesTea's honor; surely when he got bunker blocked he should have realized that shouldnt be possible and stopped the game, however he failed to do so. I respect that he could have but didn't because re-games REALLY mess up BoX's, especially the first game.

The only person to blame is Nestea for not immediately asking for a pause the second the bunkers went down. At that point it's 100% he knew there was no depot, and I'm positive GomTV would have forced a regame in such a situation.

Goms response is very appropriate, since there was no complaint during the game there is nothing we can do.

You are absolutely incorrect, and Gom admins aren't that stupid. It's the same as if the maps have wrong positions, if your scout doesn't arrive at the right place, and you find them 1 minute later in a position it's not supposed to be possible to be at and you ask for a pause, Gom isn't going to say "trololo too late man you should have known!"

You're only allowed to talk shit about SC2 in the BW forums. They may moderate you if you do it here.

You cannot compare it tough, units simply work different.
Weren't zerglings more powerful and marines weaker overal?
Not sure here but if that is true that alone majorly effects bunker rushes.
