Good to know the admin is a power tripper douche that cares more about his ego than the quality of games. I guess Greg was right when he called you terrible. If I'm missing the context with this, please enlighten me, but that's how you come off with these segments and your decision.

Wait, so why did the players not regame immediately upon finding Tau Cross to be the map? If Idra knew it was the wrong map, shouldn't he seek a regame immediately? If neither players knew about the mistake, then you can't bring up the issue afterwards after a loss.

It seems to me the score should count after the game has finished.

I have no idea about this. Inc was admining the 18CET session (ida,xiaozi,dinot,horror) while I admined the 21CET (jf, whitera, bratok, tarson)

Most tournaments / leagues disqualify / assess points you for talking like that, he can do whatever the fuck he wants... it's his tournament. I would probably kick him out right there.

I agree Idra was way out of line as he usually is. However I think you should have replayed the game anyway. It was clearly against the rules and even if Idra is the embodiment of unprofessional I think you should have taken the high road and replayed the game. If not atleast penalize Idra for BM.

Not that it matters a great deal but you should take the high road Inc. Don't let Idra make you stoop to his level. We know you're better than that.

incontrol didn't stoop to his level. His statements seemed pretty levelheaded and calm, although it's gm to leave if you lag.

So I was watching that part of the tournament live and Idra had been pretty arrogant right from the start. Then he got 1-0'd by Dinot and refused to let the next game be streamed (he said it was lagging to much but Inc thought it was a temper tantrum.) This happened during the 1st game Idra didn't allow to be streamed. Idra seemed upset at this point and Inc thought he was acting childish by not allowing the stream to be run... and at that point the chat you posted happened.

That's about as impartial a description as I can give of the events. I will admit that I don't think Idra's bm is funny or cool generally (although I'm not overly bothered by it--just not a fan) and I wasn't happy with Idra at that point since it was fun to watch Lz cast the games live and Idra was nixing that.

Imo, that chat upped the quality of the game. In fact, Idra was put on my favourite terrans-list after it. Furthermore, he is cheesing more now! My utmost gratitude for the lulz and drama, Idra.

Q for tournament officials - will the VODs of the semi-final stream be made available?

In some odd way I feel this is compensation for the 3rd game BS vs. Castro, who played Idra straight and very well the first 2 games. That series should not have been decided by lag and manner. To have Idra go through 2 consecutive rounds of controversy/forfeits/replayed games would have been just plain awful.

Hopefully all is well in the universe now. Looking forward to the finals!

I actually agree, the drama alone makes it worth watching and the fact that Idra usually lasts until at least the semis gives lots of opportunities for drama

If they're casting replays, I'm guessing not even incontrol knew what happened until afterwards.

I'm just surprised that neither player said anything about the map until afterwards. You'd think they care enough about the tournament to at least know which maps they should play on.

Well if you read it, it seems he was going to leave due to lag but then IdrA couldn't keep his mouth shut and kept pushing buttons so he got what he deserved, this kind of back chat in other sport or in Korean eSports would have recieved the same kind of response imo. Glad to see people don't take everyone's BM shit now.

That wasn't biased in the slightest. "Greg" starts trashtalking, so the admin starts being an asshole - that's how the world works.

I like how some mention that InControl shouldn't be on a "power trip", when Idra seems to think everyone should bow down to him because he plays with a Korean pro team. Fuck that, he's not god, and mad respect for InControl for helping him realize that. It seriously is clear that Greg has gotten it into his skull that he's better than everyone else, and therefore has a right to talk down to them. 3 words: FUCK THAT SHIT.

keep in mind, Inc DID infact leave shortly after. Its not like he stayed just to piss idra off, but idra was running his mouth and you dont stab the hand that feeds you (in this case, the tourney head)

In any other tournament, Idra woulda been DQ'd for bm long longggg ago.

Anyone want to start a petition to make it manditory on TL to refer to idra as "idrama"??
