Losing the first game so quick and easy does have an impact on you no matter how high level you are. You get mixed emotions and makes it hard to concentrate. I feel like it played a vital role in Nestea's overall performance, he just wasn't himself today. I wish the set could be replayed but nothing we can do will change that.

It's def his mistake, that doesn't mean it's his fault.

If some guy threaten you with a stick, and you jump out the window of third floor break 10 bones, that does not make it your fault, you just made dumb decisions that made the situation worse.

Or if someone swivels into your lane while driving, you panics and slams on the break, causing the car behind you to hit you, does that make it your fault?


It was the Firefighters fault for removing the trampoline that I was supposed to land on even though it was blatently obvious before jumping it was no longer there but I had 10 other things on my mind to notice

People and their terrible analogies. I got one too!
GOM = Security
NesTea = Store
Byun = Shoplifter

GOM should be blamed for Byuns crime because their security wasn't up to snuff and couldn't prevent him from shoplifting, right? RIGHT?!

Or maybe Nestea should be blamed for not taking initiative and preventing the shoplifting by training his staff properly?

Or maybe Byun should be blamed because he actually shoplifted?!

GOD, I'M SO CONFUSED!!! WHO DO I BLAME?!

Or maybe... just maybe... We take a look at the security employee that caused the error that allowed the shoplifter to get away. Especially if he was aware of the possibility of the error but did nothing to test or prevent it.

As far as I'm concerned, it is now an invalid result. This GSL is completely tainted, as Nestea could have come back to win. Its not definite, but its no where near impossible.

That's pretty retarded, you'd THINK there'd be some higher level of professionalism from all involved parties and ESPECIALLY not even giving Nestea a break... His fault ultimately for not speaking up though.

Although Byun didn't do the most honorable shit in the world, he's certainly not accountable for this, he does what it takes to win, he noticed an exploit given to him by GOM, he exploited it.
I for one was certainly happy when he bunker blocked huhuhu, like the Terran that I am :D
The Prime Terrans don't back off when it comes to winning, it's like they sell their souls. Let's say to the Prime Evils, kekeke.

Wait wait, I thought some of the earlier posts that blamed Byun were just trolling to raise awareness of this thread.
But it seems certain % of community are seriously believing that Byun was doing something wrong.

It is completely opposite.
For Byun NOT to try the strategy that he thoguht gives him the highest chance to win would have been game throwing act. I am glad Byun did his best to win a match as usual and was not punished for game throwing act.

If a proper map were used, it wouldn't be possible. He exploited the fact that a judge messed up. That's not ethical. You are arguing against a player having a conscious. This is very different from when big imbalanced were present like high scv health and 2 rax all-ins. This is something that was fixed but managed to not be fixed in this one situation. At this point, these strategies were considered so unfair to the point where they were made impossible. That's the point. This was considered so unfair that it was removed completely.

First of all its not a bug, it's the lack of a common map feature, secondly, there's hardly a need for this feature after the queen buff and the fact that you can totally deny it with a well executed drone drill, every way I look at it Nestea is 100% responsible for his loss, even though GOM could've done something about it, it's not really warranted anymore.

If we believe the mapmaker: the suply depots vanished when uploading.
That IS a bug, no matter if the result is "fine".

How can you assume the proper map was not used before this thread though? As far as anyone knows it IS the proper map for two weeks. In addition, it's arguable that with the queen range buff the neutral depot is not necessary, especially on Metropolis which is a VERY Z favored map. So it's not unreasonable to think it is the intended change on the map to make it more balanced.

it wasn't a bug...it was the game-creator's fault for picking the wrong map...or the map editor for not including a neutral supply depot which is on every other map...Which our great IdrA has stated.

Oh not you too, Destiny. I thought you had more common sense. "Hey mister, I noticed you had a tell of touching your nose every time you made a bluff and I want to win this poker game fair and square and I don't want to be a scumbag."

Typical Terran idiocy.

The problem here isn't whether or not the supply depot should be there. The problem is that the official map that should be played has this feature. Everyone knows it has this feature, and it has it for a reason. If there was no announcement about the change, then it is obviously an error. Abusing this error for an advantage is unethical and should be frowned upon.

I'm going to go with another terrible analogy (that actually happened btw, but with inflated numbers)

Imagine you suddenly see an extra $20,000 in your bank account. Clearly an error has happened right? But instead of reporting this error you believe someone loves you and go on a shopping spree and enjoy yourself to the fullest. The bank that made this error finally realizes it happened and asks that you return the money as it was never yours. Should you be held accountable for the money and pay them back? You bet your fucking skippies you should and you are going to pay them back one way or another. Should you be charged with theft of the $20,000 that randomly appeared in your account? Hell no, not if you had nothing to do with it. But again, you can bet your fucking skippies that you are going to be investigated on the matter.

Why didn't Nestea ask for a pause and talk to an admin about it? It's obvious the map wasn't correct.

This isn't Byun's fault, it's GOM's. GOM is responsible for making sure their maps are correct and informing players of any changes. The map should never have been played on. It's also Nestea's fault that he didn't watch the freaking VoD of the very last TvZ Byun played on that map and didn't pause.

What Byun did was in poor taste and he should have notified the admins as soon as he noticed, but it's not his fault.

Nope, still not a bug, you could say that a bug occurred while uploading the map, but the fact that it has been available to everyone and played in the GSL/GSTL in recent games means it's not a bug, but an accepted feature, it's not something unexpected and supposedly impossible, I doubt that Byun thought that he was exploiting something only he knew about at all, there's also the fact that in this day and age anyone can deny it without much trouble, aka all that's warranted here is a l2p.

Exactly, and John said (mistakenly) on twitter that the map didn't have a depot to being with. Funny how everyone so sure this was a bug AFTER the report came out while not even GOM themselves know for sure before.

Maybe I have different philosophy from some people, but as a competitor, you are supposed to exploit the fact that a judge messed up if it helps you win a match. Competitors are expected to do anything that is not clearly banned by rules. GOM hosted a game without depot, your opponent didn't pause the game, then why not try a strategy you think would work very well? At that point, rule clearly did not ban/prevent the strategy, so Byun proceeded. Nothing wrong with that.
