I have internet problems maybe once every 6 months for an hour total. For it to happen to several people in the same tournament on different teams on different continents at the specific time they're playing official matches is more than a bit suspicious. Sweden isn't known for having internet troubles, neither is denmark or california.
well.. depends on your service and location in cali.. ive had spectacular and spectacular shitty internet depending on where i've lived in California. Generally speaking US is not a top dog for basic internet, its got a pretty shitty backbone and penny pinching rich internet companies that don't really fix their aging networks until they absolutely have to.

Earned a free reload? What do you mean.
meant free win, wrote wrong thing
they were ahead and the other losing team was the droppers
In this case, KP is ahead, if we set a precent where a team gets ahead, and then can just drop and get a walkover win.. Yeah.

you're cute
Care to explain ? Or do you imply that hes not bad and i say that because i'm european ?
He's really not bad. If pro players say he's not bad then he's not bad. And you as an amateur can have the opinion that he is, but that opinion will hardly hold any value. (No offense btw.)
Since when people hate EE on his nationality? If anything many tler are on EE's side saying nth/loda being a douche to kick EE but most people don't give a damn to his nationality.
And i personally dislike EE because i think he is bad, it doesn't matter my opinion matters or not, nor is yours. This is an internet forum.

this lead was a lot bigger than the one in EG v AL; if you accept that the connection issues are caused by the same thing (whether you think that's servers/ddos/whatever) it should be a defwin if they can't reload =/

Thing is people are scrimming on these same servers hundreds of times per day, and no other tournament has these problems. I agree it's not necessarily DDOS, but it's not exactly unlikely (given that it has happened before in e.g. SC2) and this does seem awfully suspicious.

It is kind of a different scenario because the winning team dropped as opposed to the losing team dropping.
I also don't think Kaipi are in a more commanding position than AL were, I'd certainly take a free farmed PL with a big lead vs EG's line up over an Ursa vs this line up.

I don't understand people who think that skype is the end all be all of being attacked by DDoS.
I don't buy it unless I see logs from players that is definitive proof of them being DDoS'ed, which isn't hard to get. Until then I'm assuming this is a Valve problem.
KP can't take defwin by any means, its their player, that got dc'ed and its their players, that experiencing connection problems. By the most it can be a remake, cause they were in the lead.
