I've said my piece, so I won't press the issue anymore. I just don't really like the attitude of "Oh, Player X is clearly going to demolish Player Y, so Y might as well give up". That's all.

It's actually because he is an underdog that this is even more amazing. If he kept the two games he just needs to hope for two miracles/all ins for himself and none for white ra. By giving up two games, he limits his "miracle" chances.
If a tournament like this where if you can somehow get into pool play or beat a well known player (like white ra!) you can go from no name status to your own fan club, everything is on the line. If it were me against MMA, you bet I would take the two game advantage and cheese every game and hope his keyboard catches on fire and Kespa calls him to forfeit (twice) .

Sign me up, always good to see mannered players in the SC2 community. Especially at these awfully run events. P.S, according to day9, he lost 2-1 (managed to take 1 game off whitera ^_^)

Day9 was wrong. He did not take any games and lost to White-Ra by 2-4.
Nonetheless, he showed great manner and sportsmanship. He deserves respects from the community. Good luck in future tournaments, Gimix!

What a boss, mad respect for him.
|
You didn't need to create a fan club and probably should have just made an appreciation thread because this will die out soon enough and there isn't much you can add to the OP.
Nevertheless awesome guy and it's so cool that he did that

Woot! Way to be Gimix! Makes me proud to be a part of eP xD

I am laughing my face off, this is great honor to a newly wedded young man. Good fortune Gimix : )

Im sorry but you sir have no idea what you are talking about. Gimix is Top30 NA GM, and with an extended series lead of 2-0 it is entirely reasonable that WhiteRa could have lost the series. Stop being a jackass.
