You know I thought because hr offered burden a rematch because they did not want to win 4v5, burden would have done the same for navi.

they offered to postpone, navi wanted to play

you can't expect everyone to reschedule tho. it was a good gesture from HR, but i dont really see any other team doing it

From the beginning it is retarded to leave the decision to the opponent. Admin should have manned up and decide well before asking to the other team .

See HR was just awesome for allowing the matches to be played over and they deserve to be commended for it. But this situation was a little different. BU gave Na'vi all the time to wait for the disconnected player to reconnect in both matches and even offered to postpone, HR told BU they would wait another 10-15 minutes when the maximum pause time was reached. Secondly BU didn't say they needed to play on, Na'vi themselves did. They chose to play with 4v5 themselves, can't really blame BU for going along with that.

I think the reasoning from Na'vi was that it was 'in the bag' because they had a pretty big advantage, as far as I could tell they were winning at that point, and figured it was ok microing the bristle to secure the win. I think that reasoning was wrong and that should also be the reason for BU not offering to redo the match(es).

I wasn't blaming them. Just curious as to why it wasn't the case. Seems like navi made the call to continue.

To be fair they defiantly got a run for their money. I was surprised by how well Team Crucial were at fights/punishing over-extension. Though Crucial ultimately lost to that being their only strongpoint.

Not sure about the first game cause I didn't see that, but I think crucial's 'awesomeness' was overstated for the second game. I mean even though they were playing well I never but once, if I recall correctly, saw their cores overtake BU's cores on net worth. Graphs kinda reflected that aswell. Then again graphs and net worth don't guarantee victory, just a good indicator of the state of the game imo.

Pretty hard throws vs M5, they had it in the bag after 15min but lost it. I think the pauses tilted them a bit, not good if they are having mentality problems already, we'll see..
