I can't see it because I'm at work but MC and MKP are casting the BabyKnight series and they're always good for some laughs. (The Stephano-Sound cast by MKP, MC and Reis from a past HSC was hilarious.)

This is just retarted, you can't do anything except a regame in this situation.

It sucks obviously for Xlord, but it can't be avoided, the game was still too far from over. Same thing happened to Grubby at ESWC vs Zeus, and you just have to regame.

Soo, Xlord was given the win for 2-0. Now it's time for Stephano to beat MMA and rock on.

but... he had a concave ... and an upgrade advantage ...

How can that possibly be considered anywhere near close enough to over to not merit a regame?

if you have to discuss if its a regame or not for more than 10 sec ----> REGAME

Snute BO5 option was the best.. Too bad Xlord was being a dick about it, he could atleast have looked for the SC2 fans viewing the show.

Stephano was one good engagement away from being even.
Stephano had similar supply.
Stephano had better upgrade but was down 7 infestor.

How can u give a freewin to Xlord ?
Xlord HAD an edge. But it was Clearly not a freewin, I've seen countless of game of Stephano being MUCH more behind and still win with a great fight.

The decision was obvious, it shud be a remake. the player assume stephano would lose his 4th while there is like 6 roach hitting it, they assume a lot and they shoudnt. They should focus on the state of the game where the disconnect happen. And Stephano still had a shot at this game,

retarded.
And im fucking sad cuz homestory cup is my favorite esport event.

Even though the decision really was stupid as shit, it was cool that Stephano showed some real sportsmanship by giving Xlord the win without whining.

We believe in you, Stephano!

As much as it hurts seeing him go down 2-0 Stephano is really a boss for just giving it up and moving on rather than to have them waste more time on stream sorting it out and just hurrying the games up. I really hope that he will beat MMA and move on to play XlorD again and just demolish him. ^_^

It's done, let's forget about it and hope that Stephano's mind is in the right place before the deciding match vs MMA. GL!

This decision is bullshit, Stephano is known for his good placements during fights + he had better upgrades.
Why no rematch ? I mean XlorD was still 1-0 and if he was able to take almost 2 games to Stephano he could've done more.
Seriously giving the win when someone is 50 supply ahead is ok but here... totally bullshit...

If Stephano looses to MMA, this will be very sad.

Obviously that kind of decision makes me think HSC is a competition for professional players with a little bit of amateurism in orga and admins. In any other competition it would have been rematch. But it looks like Take has no real admins and, excuse me not exactly the balls to tell the player : i'm the boss you rematch and shut up.
Dimaga was fine when he didn't want to decide, he's a player not an admin and don't want to get involved. If they asked someone like Grubby, Mkp, or the others korean, players really used to the biggest competition like GSL with strict rules they would have call a rematch or they would have ask the admins to take their responsability.
Dimaga didn't want to decide, TLO wasn't comfortable too but as he's very kind he didn't say, Snute was just looking for the best solution. Overall this is not their jobs ......

it was a 15mn discussion, at the beginning casters didn't know (kas dimaga and snute) and they were waiting for admin decision. Then Take showed up and asked TLO to joins. he asked TLO to watch the game and decided Dimaga Snute and TLO will decide by vote , secretly if they want. Dimaga didn't want to vote, asking for an admin decision. XLOrd showed up in the room and Snute made a proposal : you take the game but you go BO5 (so 2-0 for xlord in BO5) and Xlord reacted loud saying he would hav won easy without the crash. So stephano reacted and gave him the game to end the discussion ....
