I'd like to take a moment to apologize to TL.net staff about the way I responded to this issue. My stance on it polarized me against them and when I didn't gain any ground with somewhat civil discussion, I dropped all civility.

My suggestions:
(1) Artosis vs Cauthonluck showmatch. Call it the TLI finals in an alternate reality.*
(2) Disqualify Slush and bump everyone else up one place. If virtually everyone agrees that Artosis won that game, then virtually everyone agrees that Slush was in fact eliminated at the conclusion of that game. What actually happened is more important than what the ref called. I understand that there are good reasons to not continue to ref the match so long after its conclusion, but given the strong consensus that Artosis won, or more relevantly that Slush lost, I think it's worth considering.

*sorry Louder please don't take offense to this =]

You can't fucking just take back the tournament and say sorry SLush, you get fucking nothing because we fucked up after playing the entire rest of the tourney.

That would be a bigger fucking bullshit flipflop than what originally happened to Artosis.

Congratulations to slush for winning and playing excellent games, I wish artosis hadn't acted so childish and immature over a regame, it kinda detracts from Slush's hard earned win and sours what should have been a fun tournament.

Lets be honest, had artosis truly been confident in his ability to beat slush he wouldn't have been so up in arms over a simple regame and he certainly wouldn't be this scared for a showmatch to determine who is really the best player.
In my opinion he should EITHER play this showmatch OR stop trash talking slush. I've never seen anyone throw this big a tantrum over something like this before

I know that following the precedent of similar organizations/events often produces the best results, but it should never be the strongest reason for doing something. I think it would be best to first consider what the most just outcome is, considering only the details of this particular event. If you feel that it is more just to keep Slush as your champion than to disqualify him, then it's perfectly good to solidify your initial conclusion by seeing that it agrees with precedents. But if you think it might be more just to disqualify him, I think it's a mistake to overrule that thinking with precedents.

The reason other sports do that is because if they go back and redo a game well after the outcome because of a mistake, then every game starts getting called into question and asked for a re-do because you can find questionable calls everywhere. There are less ref decisions in Starcraft, obviously, but it will still be an administrative headache.

Great response, TL. You guys on the staff continue to comport yourselves with remarkable professionalism, I'm proud for this site and community. As for Artosis, while he obviously has the right to turn down a showmatch, the fact that he had to indicate that it was because of 'differences' with Slush is pathetic. It's a shame to see someone you previously respected and admired act like that, I've lost a lot if not all of my respect for him as an individual.

honestly when I read the chat logs Brood posted I felt more like you (ETT or who it was Artosis was talking to) were refusing to do what he wanted, which was to discuss the game more thoroughly.

I dont really get why there is still so much discussion, Nazgul made such a good OP...

For reference.

The sad thing is that i have a bad feeling that Slush are gonna get flamed and hated in the future because of this situation, and that is even more unfair. I really really REALLY hope that people will avoid making him the big bad wolf and hate on him

I can already see him being in TSL and people jumping the bandwagon and never let this issue go. Would love to have a statement from him and/or Artosis so we could move on

I have a few thoughts.

1. Anyone who thinks Slush had a 0% chance of winning does not know what 0% means. If he attacked Artosis' units head on, he would not win, but perhaps if he went after one of Artosis' other bases he could make Artosis panic and slip up. Would Artosis slip up most of the time? No. Would Artosis slip up atleast 1% of the time? Yes. Although Artosis' play can be as boring as a robot, (No rush 22 minutes!) he still makes human mistakes.

2. If someone insults you and says you played like garbage, do you really think you would concede the game to them even if they were favored? There's a pretty low chance anyone is going to concede a game with a monetary prize in the first place, but if the other person is hounding you like a baby and saying that they clearly won, there is an even LESS chance you're going to concede.

3. I'm curious to see what everyone would do in this situation. I anticipate a lot of people saying they would concede when they would actually take the rematch if it came down to it.

It's more a matter of reading the chat logs floating around. I don't care how much he had it in the bag, I have no respect for anyone who behaves like that, irrespective of how talented they may be. There are something like 3 logs now floating around, one on this page, of Artosis having temper tantrums at other people who are completely composed but just telling him things he doesn't like to hear. That's not how winners act, full stop.

Ok, he certainly goes a step further in this conversation.
But that doesnt mean hes wrong and I think we should indeed keep in mind that this is a beta after all. Who's to say that this didnt simply happen because its a bugged beta, I got disconnected several times, especially post patch 11 without no freakin reason whatsoever and I disagree that the person who disconnects should never get the win.

Again I simply agree 100% with everything Nazgul said in the OP.

Artosis handled himself poorly because he puts his whole heart into this game, that doesnt mean hes wrong, although I can see how it must have been difficult dealing with him

Exactly that. Artosis wants to be a professional gamer. That was not professional just childish nerd rage.

Everybody has to deal with questionable decisions once in a while. Gotta take em like a man.

Can't we just leave as it is?

It happened, get over it. Teamliquid has apologized and said that they will take measures so that this doesn't happen again in the future.

Yes, artosis could have handled it better, but in such situations, sometimes emotions just overrule your logical thinking and you start saying things that you normally wouldn't do.

I honestly have no idea what more has to be said about this, because as I see it it just ends up in some artosis or tournament admin bashing.

It would be completely unacceptable to revise the results of a played out tournament where nobody cheated. Slush abided by the the ruling of the admin so he can't be blamed for anything. You can't punish a player because of admin mistakes, that would be incredibly unprofessional and against the spirit of fair play.

He doesn't have to be wrong for his behavior to have been atrocious and unacceptable for someone of his age. Don't confuse in-game correctness with standards for real-world behavior. You can be as right as you want, it doesn't allow you to be a spoiled brat.

Flipping out about someone being extremely slimy is much more tolerable in my book than actually being extremely slimy... Yeah obviously he flipped out and that was pretty lame. But forcing a regame on a game you know you lost is way worse imho.

1. Getting mad you lost a tournament because of a DC = uncool but I have some empathy
2. Forcing a regame of a game you lost in all ways but in technicality = super duper uncool, no sympathy, no respect

This apology by Naz makes very little sense to me because I made damn sure that everyone in the ref IRC knew that in my (good at sc2) opinion the game was over. Other players like Demuslim and Nony saying the same thing aren't adding anything refs didn't know at the time. If the criteria used to judge whether it's a regame or not have changed because of last night then just say that, saying they made a mistake when they didn't is wrong.

how should i know. my post referred to the way naz described it and i imagined it would have been refs on their own who don't play as actively / on the level of you or nony or naz.

and how have the criteria changed? the rule has been in place before this debacle happened as well as the criteria to decide whether it's a regame or not. only that it depends on the admin who judges if the right criteria have been met or not and in this case the final decision was a mistake, or wasn't it?
to me it seems to have been a "chain of command problem" if the opinions of the top players with more expertise are overruled by other admins. so whoever made the final decision made a mistake, that's got nothing to do with criteria to appropriately judge the situation which do not change - either artosis had already won the game at the time he disced or he didn't.

the line between real world and in game is really not that big at all when you are in Artosis' position, someone who lives in korea because of esports, someone who wants to do this as his job, someone who got up at 3 am just to play this tournament.
Plus he knows most TL admins in real life.

He apologised already, I really dont know what more you could want from him?
