Just imagine an online tournament where someone gambles with something like dts, and gets 20 supply ahead of a korean pro, and then just pulls the plug. He didn't deserve the win obviously, and so it would be a regame. Instead, you unplug when you are behind. | ||

Also 5+ mules. And this is coming from a Prtoss player. Rename or bo3 would have been my call. | ||

Either way, beyond the shadow of a doubt. Parting wins that game. | ||

Why are Vikings "useless"? They eat up zealots, they are great harassing tools, etc, etc. MKP was dogging storms all game and sniping Templars with murders the whole game. Parting didn't reinforce his attack with his last warpin. A lot of his army supply was at his Base. Damaged 1/0 vikings don't "eat up" 3/3 chargelots, they barely have the DPS of a marine and were all damaged. The 6 vikings he had would've barely killed 2 zealots. And seriously, MKP's army, including his reinforcements, was about half the size of parting's army, and Parting had storms AND an economy, whereas MKP was mining from a single base that was running out of minerals. MKP wouldn't have won a long game, and Parting had cannons and a larger standing army to survive WAY past what MKP could possibly throw at him. It was beyond over. | ||

I think regame is necessary in order to avoid the WORST case scenorio where they would be giving Parting the win even though he could actually lose. | ||

Personal opinion says the refs should have given it to Parting although a regame was the politically correct decision. I claim no bias as I am neither a Startale nor Prime/MKP fanboy... | ||

Its the bottom off the 7th the home team is up by 6 ... whats this .. its a rain cloud .. Umpire calls the game home team win .. this is how a sport thats been around 100 years does it .. not saying it was a easy call. But you should be given some credit for being in a more then likely to win situation | ||

Unlikely and almost impossible comebacks do occur, the crappy situation was forced on the staff who I think made the right call out of the options available to them. More likely than not, 9/10 times, and similar probabilities are ,I feel just not good enough to award the game to one player over another. 1 up in a BO3 would be better out of those options though, as it carries over the winning player's advantage while not completely removing the losing player's chances. | ||

You assume that parting will suicide his whole army and not produce anything, so mkp will be able to defend 2. And no, mkp didn't have the better economy, in fact parting had it http://i.imgur.com/jugZC.jpg 3. Mkp had no advantage over parting, parting had the better economy, the better army, he still had hts alive while mkp had no more tech units, and they had about the same in upgrades (something like 3/3 and 3/1(2)/3 iirc) 1. That's not counting queued up units. Moments earlier MKP was banking a lot of resources which most likely was resting inside the barracks. 2. Fresh off a mule cycle? They had a similar worker count, slight favor to MKP with mules from 4-5 cc's. 3. See 1&2. Game wasn't clearly in anyones favor from where I was sitting so a re-game was the right call. | ||

I'm more frustrated at blizzard for still not implementing one of the many solutions presented to them that would solve this. Like saving a multiplayer game... warcraft 3 had that, you could join with the exact same party members, but not in sc2...

But you can see it like statistic-lessons, in the long run the better player will win more often. | ||
