There's a difference between discing with a simple lead and discing from an overwhelming lead. Discing with an overwhelming lead just doesn't make much sense. | ||

Slush gets to make the final call on whether to accept or decline the rematch. I hope 300$ was worth his integrity. I'm sure all the other SC2 tops are not going to have a favorable impression of him after this debacle. $300 isn't chump change, granted what he did is frowned upon (rightfully so) but honestly esports is always like this, cutthroat. if you are given another chance, take it. the war3 scene had shit like this all the time. | ||

If they allow reconnecting, what happens if the players never connects back? You have to wait 5 minute before they get dropped before taking the win? No thanks. It just delays things to much. It also has to do with the fact that Battle.net2.0 is P2P while HoN is a server based game. Simply making reconnecting in custom games would be fine, don't need it in ladder. oh dear I dc'd from ladder, there goes my 15 points.. who cares. Really it's pretty shitty that blizzard don't allow for reconnection in custom games, dota like ports and stuff could really do with it. Doesn't have to force pause the game or whatever because it would be susceptible to abuse, just let the game play on but in a tournament the other player/specs can pause till rejoin. | ||

This could potentially make it easy for him to "counter" you the next game. If you allow a bad call to rattle you so easily, you need to evaluate how well you handle such things. Athletes have to deal with bad calls all the time. | ||

You can't just have pc problems and cause drama every round. It's really bad for the tournament. Obviously if Slush went on to win his next to series against the best players in the tourney then he deserved to win. Thats the other thing: its Artosis' responsibility to maintain a working computer or work with his page file so he doesn't have that paged memory pool problem. And also one of the reasons that maybe its not so great an idea to run money tournaments during a beta when there are still lots of technical glitches | ||

Very bad luck for Artosis, If only his comp had held out for that last battle  very tough call to make for the refs at the time though I don't envy their position at all. While I wouldn't blame Artosis for being angry at the time (same thing just happened to me in a ladder match and it really sucks balls) I hope that he has the maturity to make up with EvilTeletubby, Kennigit and the other refs when he's had a chance to cool off. As for Slush - yeah the sportsmanlike thing to do would be to have given up the loss but the nature of pro sports is not that way inclined and if he didn't watch the replay he might have still thought he had a fighting chance and it's perfectly understandable to default it to ref's call. | ||

The refs agreed Artosis had the game won no offense, but this just made your argument not so good | ||

So even though Artosis had won, they could not award him the win without breaking their own rules. This flies in the face of what Nazgul had said in the other thread. Although there were no rules for players posted publicly so we don't know who is right or who is wrong with regards to what the rules say. | ||
