Mkp at the moment was dropping like flies. Ultimately it was Star tales decision to a regame. Then if anything, the officials were indecisive and should make the call instead of leaving the decion to the players who fear of match fixing. take responsibility, because you messed up.

Ill definitely acknowledge parting was ahead after that engagement, but terran micro at the GSTL level of play, especially for a player like MKP who relies on micro, is so effective that it COULD definitely have evened things out. Ultimately I think regame was the right choice. How many games have we seen where a player has the advantage, sacks his lead(bad engagement/drop harass or whatever) and eventually has to gg? It happens all too often in SC2 which is why I dont think you can simply say MKP was too far behind to not come back. Just a bit of my reasoning to support my answer.

The optimal solution in my opinion would be to make it a BOx with odds equal to the state of the game when one player got dropped. In this case i'd say Parting had at least a 2-1 lead, which would be 1-0 in a BO3.

Also, the statements about it having to be a clear win for it not to be a rematch is obv retarded. If Parting has more than 66% to win, and the options are rematch or his win, then his win is the most fair decision (i.e. leads to the least expected difference in outcome on avg). If, for instance, Parting had 75% of winning the game, the game should be called in his favor. I don't see how an argument could be made that he has less than 66% of winning the game, making the current decision unfair.

On a sidenote: Why does drops and lag happen so frequently outside of korea and so rarely in korea? I don't recall having seen it in GSL/GSTL in korea more than once and I recall it happening at least 10 times in MLG, IPL, Dreamhack etc, despite having seen more tournamentgames from korea in total.

he still could have won.
i mean, look at the infamous idra vs. mma game, where mma destroyed his own command center, and idra promtly surrendered

the game isnt over until a player actually surrenders, or the game declares a winner (or a draw is forced)

the regame was the correct decision.

Yeah, like one game should be a consistent example. -_-

I think Parting would've won if the game continued, but think is the key word. Because MKP's micro is so good and they had been trading all game I can't say Parting definitely would've won, which means a re-game was the right decision imo.

I would have given Parting the win, but I was fine with the decision. Looking at someones idea to make it a bo3 with parting up 1-0, I really like that now that I think about it.

I'm fine with the re-game decision. I would have been fine with the decision to give Parting the win as well. I would have preferred neither one of those be the outcome, but that wasn't the case.

We can argue all we want, but it's pointless without full knowledge(replay) of what was going on. There has also been a lot of misinformation about the game from both sides of the argument which is only making a bad situation worse. Unless a replay is released we will be nowhere near a justified answer.

The sad thing is that most of the arguments about this are going to be fueled by love/hate for a certain player/race instead of wanting to find out the full details of what was going on in the match at the time of the drop. I also think the trash talk on MKP is sad as well. A lot of the posts on here might not be saying anything negative about any player, but other forums and the IPL chat was full of people trashing MKP like it was his fault. I think actions like this and trash talk on "fanboys" shows that us spectators are probably best left out of such important decisions.

There wasn't really any "correct" choice. The game was in Parting's favour but it could have gone either way, we have seen some crazy things in GSL and GSTL. I would have been more satisfied with Parting being awarded the win but the re-game decision is understandable.

I heard that several progamers confirmed that Parting couldn't possibly lose that game.

I believe it was SaSe and NonY I heard of. Pretty sure these guys are qualified. I might have heard wrong

This is a re-game, absolutely. Neither player should be awarded a win if the game had a disconnect unless they forfeit. It's better not to resort to a judgment call in these situations, because the referee becomes an integral part of the game's result.

They also said that about the final game of Nestea vs Mvp at Blizzcon, when Nestea was ahead in every way and just threw away his army and econ lead in poor engagements and poor decisions.

Games shouldn't be awarded on probable outcome assuming people play perfectly. Look at Bomber vs MKP that very same night. If Bomber had just sat back and defended instead of sacrificing his 3rd and going for a delayed base-trade he would have won almost 100% of the time. People make poor decisions, Parting included. Judges should always err on the side of regame unless the game was literally over at time of disconnect.

I don't like this line of thinking. The referee HAS become an integral part of the game's result at this point, no matter what - his hand has been forced by the disconnect. Whether the part he plays is by forcing a regame or by outright declaring a winner is another question, but there's no way to avoid integral involvement (since we cannot travel back in time and prevent the DC).

Then, no matter what the decision is, it will be unfair towards at least one player.
- if he forces a regame, the decision is unfair towards the player who is winning, because it erases any advantage he had above and beyond his pre-game chance of winning. (This effect is amplified if the player who is winning happens to be the underdog, but IMO that should not factor into the decision)
- if he declares an outright winner, the decision is unfair towards to player who is losing, because it erases any chance he may have had to come back

Now if all things are equal, the referee should definitely err towards the conservative option - to allow a regame, since this always has the potential to provide the "right" outcome (whatever that may be), whereas an outright winner is an irreversible decision.

However in this case, all things are not equal. The unfairness to Parting for giving a regame far, far outweights the unfairness to MKP for giving an outright win, and I think the lesser of two evils would have been to award the win to Parting.

I would only give a win to the player if the situation was INSANELY one-sided. I mean, as in, one side has a sizable army whereas the other player just lost almost everything. You never know the outcome until it happens. Re-game was the correct choice despite it being unfair to Parting for having an advantage

These games aren't comparable at all.

(In the MKP Parting game we're talking about a situation in which Parting has already stomped MKP's army and starts sitting on top of his production. In MKP-Bomber, MKP had a bigger/stronger army the whole time, which is clearly another situation. Don't even need to go into the details for the blizzcon game)

Games shouldn't be awarded on probable outcome assuming people play perfectly.


But Parting didn't have to play perfectly, not even nearly. You'd have to assume MKP plays perfectly to even have a chance and that's a problem. Parting clearly had a huge earned advantage which was nullified by a regame, which is very unfair. BO3 with Parting up 1-0 would definitely have been a better option than a regame.

You know, I was watching Destiny's stream and I was curious about what he felt about the game. THEN his stream buddy (not sure who it was) brought up the game. Seems like he also believed that it was over. Honestly, I too believe that Parting should have gotten the win. When the game froze, I had really thought that it may have been the slight lag that shows up before someone leaves (not sure if everyone experiences this, but I have a bad computer).

i find it funny, after just watching the game 1 Polt vs parting on entombed, listening to Artosis reactions.The game was very similar with polt leading most of the game in supply and pressing partings base. Artosis even says he thought Polt played a better game than MKP and still got owned in the end. i have yet to see anyone with a remotely high standing in the community say that MKP had a chance in the game.
