You don't "gain credibility" for sticking by a bad call. A ref in a sports game making a shitty call, and sticking by it does not give the ref greater credibility, actually if he does it often he'll probably lose his job. That's like saying Bush gained credibility for sticking by his shitty decisions when he was President.
I agree with this *if* it was truly a terrible call. I haven't watched the replay yet and im no expert, but if there even a remote chance that Slush could have won, regame has to be the right call, esp since it was Artosis who dropped. Certainly if it was Slush who had dropped we wouldnt be having this conversation right now.

You can tell from the chat between Artosis and SLush, that Slush knew he lost but he still wanted to rematch.
Slush either truly believed he could win with the mutas, or he didn't believe it but wanted an extra chance against Artosis.
*shrug*
I think if this were the MSL or OSL, the judges would've given Artosis the win. But TL's rules are different, so what can you do. IMO, Artosis could've handled it more stoically, but I could see why he broke down after suffering so many computer problems and being frustrated with his recent tournament results.

There was no chance Slush could win, non at all. It was a massive lead in bases and army by Artosis. Basically 2 mining bases vs no mining bases if the game lasted for 20 more seconds.

IT WAS. I don't know why you have so much to say if you don't even understand the situation.

Another point is that as we all have many pc's at home we can watch the Stream at the same time as participants play and they can just pretend that they're scouting :DD while they see the whole view + comments
Regame when there is no clear winner. This game there was a clear winner.. like crystal clear.
It doesn't matter, if you're better you'll win the second time as well.

Generally when people are forced to play rematches they believe unfair, they play a lot worse due to their mental state of distress.

And ofcourse the mental setback by having to regame a win doesn't mean anything.
