I suspect, in all likelihood, even if Byun didn't bunker rush, he'd have won the first game. However, we can't entirely discount the possibility of him losing game 1, then losing games 4 and 5, to lose 3-2. It's unlikely, given the way NesTea played in the three games we watched, but it's possible, and now, due to GOM's oversight, we'll never know how it would have gone. I can only hope that GOM does a better job in the future of avoiding this sort of thing. | ||

A referee should interrupt the game if he notices something is wrong with the game or playing field. It's like in tennis when the referee thinks the net is too low or it rains too much, the ref is and should be able to take the decision on it's own. Surely GomTV must have known something was wrong the moment the bunkers went down.. The casters (Tastetosis anyways) didn't know anything was wrong either, so I'm not sure the ref would either. He's been looking at the same depot-less map for 2 weeks like everyone else after all. Since it sounds like the mapmaker uploaded the update on his own initiative and didn't tell anyone about it, I tend to agree with Diamond that this is on the mapmaker and not Gom/Byun/ect. I'm a programmer by trade and let me tell you, the worst bugs tend to come about when someone does a stealth fix that "couldn't possibly have any other side-effects". Offtopic - is this upload 'bug' a known issue? If so, then the mapmaker definitely should have tested for that (good QA means keeping a checklist of known problems past and present to make sure they don't crop up again). | ||

A couple mapmakers posted in this thread indicating that they haven't had to deal with this bug, and were skeptical of the mapmaker's story, though one of them said that given the crapitude of the blizzard map editor he wouldn't be surprised. | ||

I half expected this bug to be the mapmaker trying to deflect blame, but like I said, if he knew it could happen he should have double checked after. Also food for thought: Crossfire and Dual Sight did *not* have neutral supply depots below the ramp (more reasons to hate Crossfire I guess). So it's not unprecendented to be able to bunker block in the 'modern' GSL. | ||

I would argue that there really should be a regame in this case. In my opinion, it was pretty BM of Byun to take advantage of what was clearly a mistake in the map to perform a ridiculous cheese. It would be like in a NFL game if the uprights for one side were only half as wide as the others or something. /pitchforks There's no knowing the extent of psychological effect it would have had on the players in a multi-game series. Besides, no one prepares for a bunker rush that is useless on the map that they expect to be playing on. I don't know much about the SC2 mapmaking, but it might be a similar case to the SC1 editor where editing one layer may affect others. Maybe changing the terrain or doodad layer accidentally overlapped and deleted the supply depot. | ||

The outcome would be probably the same, with the difference that it would be 3-1. Byun played outstanding starcraft, while Nestea did not. It's simple that it is. | ||

I'm sure this is a very rare and unexpected occurence. However since it had been out for a week or something someone should've brought it up before this match. | ||

since the IM coach complained after the end of set 2, it is very possible that nestea was mentally affected despite him being a champ. although nestea has looked weak to multipronged harass in the past in games vs MMA, he did look weaker than normal in this set. it's sad that there is a possibility that the double bunker rush put him at a mental/score disadvantage. and yeah i agree that this puts byun in a negative light. if he goes on to win the GSL it will be a huge disappointment. no respect for byun but i can understand hes gotta do what hes gotta do to try to win due to the current state of the TvZ metagame. | ||

If you watched the nestea game you would know he would of lost all three sets regardless, he simply handled an easy rush with horrible execution, not to mention he was complaining the night before about how he was going to lose.I remember long ago there was a situation where Boxer prepared a build where he could siege up a tank in range of a player's natural. I don't remember what tournament or what map it was, but it was a little trick he discovered himself and was going to trash his opponent. Unfortunately, the map version that was uploaded for the match was wrong, and his tank couldn't get in position. I don't remember what the outcome was, but it sucked pretty hard.

Why was it clearly a mistake when recent GSL maps have allowed bunker rushes? Besides Crossfire and Dual Sight not having neutral depots, the old 'ramp-less' maps like Tal'Darim and Bel'Shir never had anything to prevent a block between the main and natural either (in fact, MVP bunker walled Nestea on Bel'Shir last summer, and MC pylon walled Idra on Tal'Darim in MLG). | ||

Its not the terran's responsibility to make sure the zerg has his trusty neutral supply depot to save him. Zerg cried and whined so hard in order to get these put into the game and they dont even need them anymore. Get real. | ||

It seems like Byun knew the map didn't have the supply depot ahead of time and prepared that build just for that map versus Nestea... maybe I am wrong, but that certainly seems to be the case, and because of that I have pretty much lost all respect for Byun as a person since he abused the wrong map and didn't inform GSL that they had been using the incorrect version. Fortunately, Team IM and Nestea took the loss in good sportsmanship and didn't cause any drama for the GSL. | ||
