If GOMTV had any balls, they would replay the entire series. Its one thing to lose a game. Its another to lose to an incredibly stupid strat that you did not even think was possible on the map you were playing. At the very least, the series should be replayed with Nestea down 0-2 to at least give him the chance to come back. | ||

1. Byun prepared that way, preparation is everything in GSL. 2. Nestea pulled his drones back before he killed one of the SCVs making one of the bunkers. I don't know if itwas a misclick or just he didn't acknowledge correctly which drones he was using to make those spine crawlers. I do know that is a blunder. It's like a different yet similar situation of parting vs mkp in gstl finals. Although someone is clearly dealt with unfairly, no one was dealt a certain loss(parting could of won the game again, nestea could of won the series) Although it sucks, it's better to just move on. Edit: Those coming into the thread to harp on Byun's morals, remember the korean mentality of winning overrides the western honor. Gom certainly fucked up. But Byun is fine unless you start getting western on him and ignoring his culture. A Korean who went to MLG once said that it's interesting to see foreign fans because they care about what happens in the game, while koreans mainly focus on the winning part. Do not keep that idea out of consideration in your frivolous judgements of the situation. | ||

I am surprised he would exploit this bug so shortly after coming back from his match-fixing scandal. That's what surprises me, too, although I'm not ready to call him a snake. I imagine Korea would at least have a larger uproar over this than on the foreign side, which doesn't necessarily amount to much. Is there any word? To me, that's relatively important simply because I thought Byun was going to be more careful about this sort of thing--or anything remotely similar--because of the Coca/Byun incident. In their "return" interviews, iirc, both stated feeling some pressure or lingering hate from Korean fans. Their behavior shouldn't be guided by hateful fans, but it demonstrates a general difference of expectations in Korea, as did the Naniwa probe rush. No, I don't want the results changed, aside from wishful thinking that Nestea played better and won the series. I don't want any punishment from GOM for Byun, especially as GOM and the map maker share responsibility in all scenarios and in some, Byun has none. Maybe a private warning is all it merits. I'm just a bit suspicious that someone who wanted a free win in the past sidestepped the most honest path, seeking another free win. An easy justification would be, "it's their fault this time," especially when that's partially true. | ||

That was a somewhat innocent though boneheaded move. This move was premeditated. There is a huge difference. | ||

ah well, as much of a fan I am of Nestea's, Byun just played astoundingly well, and to have a specific strategy forming around a bug in the map...this guy planned everything out to the last detail | ||
