According to this screenshot http://i.imgur.com/IuHuA.jpg, mkp has 21 supply in reprod, and just enough money to make 5 more marauders, still not enough to reach parting supply. You assume that parting will suicide his whole army and not produce anything, so mkp will be able to defend

And no, mkp didn't have the better economy, in fact parting had it http://i.imgur.com/jugZC.jpg

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)


He had 5 or 6 orbitals his 5th finishe imagine 10 mules in this situation

I'm generally okay with either decision. Without having the replay in front of me, it's tough to say exactly what the game state was. Parting clearly had an advantage and if he plays it right, he'll get the win. However, we've seen many players overextend in that sort of situation and lose the game. One round of well-microed MKP units could have potentially wiped an overextended army and turned the game back in MKP's favor.

It just stinks that MKP was almost eliminated, but then got the re-game and was able to sweep the rest so that decision to re-game ended up being so critical.

I think what should have happened, was that it becomes a BO3 with partinG up 1 game... I really think PartinG had won at that point. Damn you GSTL!!

Protoss are supposed to keep up with economy with terrans with same amount of bases, counting mules, you suppose that mkp had 2 mules ready in each of his orbitals while he could have already used all of them, what's important is the economy he had during the reproduction

I think they might be a bit higher that high master and don't agree with you, also might have a bit more experience in GSTL

An answer is missing : "Another decision" (Bo3 with one game given to Parting for me)

Because, as unlikely as it seems, there are incredible comebacks in SC2

Look at White-Ra vs MMA game at 10:45

I think the problem with NOT doing a re-game is that you need a clear definition for what someone is clearly winning to be. Since no such thing exists (maybe it should, and should be discussed as to what would constitute that) regame is really the only fair option I feel. While I do agree that Parting was quite far ahead, and in an excellent position to win, it wasn't a 100% clearcut, no one can say otherwise win situation. Because of that regame is the fair choice.

I've heard that maybe in such a case where someone is ahead and not 100% going to win, they change it to a Bo3 with the better looking person one game up? Im not sure, but a new rule has to be put in place to deal with these situations.

Either some definition of what "100% going to win" is
or
Some alternate set up where perhaps a Bo3 or something similar is held where the person with the advantage has a game already?

Otherwise re-game seems the correct position, given the rules.

Parting had 8 high templar, 18 zealots, 6 stalkers, and a warp prism in his main base for a massive warp in, compared to MKP's 3 marauders. Parting's main army was also in/near MKP's production, so that the reinforcements would be killed when they came out. MKP had no medivacs.

Come on guys, lets be serious. Parting had that EASILY.

I'm a bit torn. I think the correct option should have been a best of three with parting start a game up. But who am i to make calls

You could do something like that in an individual tournament, but in a Winner's League type Team League, that gives whoever wins the Bo3 a bit of a disadvantage. I, honestly, would like to see something like what TL did during TSL with the Nightend v. Boxer game. Have a panel of pros ready to look at the game for a bit, and then decide from there whether it would be a regame or a win for Parting.

Parting had a 90+% chance to win the game from that point, imo; he should have been given the win.

Imo, the game from TSL3 where Boxer was given the win over Nightend was a less clear situation than this.

It was the right decicion with the options they had at hand, but to the next team league I would love to see what others before me have already said; a BO3 with the one in a massive lead given 1 "win".

There was a reasonable doubt that Parting wouldn't have been able to win. Sure, he was favoured in the game at the time, but bigger comebacks have happened. If there was a chance that Marineking could have won, then it wouldn't have been fair to give Parting the win.

It is just sad that a decision like this had to be made in the first place. Come on Blizzard at least make a special client that is only given out to events like this.

If there was a chance for MKP to win, you re-game. See: Bisu vs. (Flash SPL finals), Julyzerg failed 4-pool victory (Gom TV Open season 3), Crazyhydra vs. Ssak (SPL finals), etc. Just some examples of player looking dead to rights, and coming back to win. If the game crashed at a moment where it looked bad for a given player, and you awarded the victory to the player in a commanding position, you would have decided the outcome of a game that had not yet been decided. While re-game is not fair either, awarding a win to a player when either party had a reasonable chance to still win is the worst possible outcome.
