I dont understand why cool didn't play the 6 vs 16 pool again if he thought it was "win 100%" even when scouted on desert oasis...

Getting your build scouted isnt nearly as bad as your opponent knowing that you are about to play that build.

Yeah yeah, he had some connection problems before but those don't say anything at all, he could've prepared for his "joker-disconnect", of course it can't be proven that it was intentional, but in my opinion it could not have been more obvious.
If it hadn't been the set game, I think the referee would (should!) have given Cool the win.

Dimaga is known for doing shady stuff to improve his results and that d/c was just ... blerghh.

you're also wrong that he would have lost that game. go ahead and test it out, his 16 pool would have defended that just fine because of the long desert oasis rush distance. that and the fact that overlords always get there in time to see a fast pool is why dimaga opts to try for FE (he was moving drone, but sent back when he saw zerglings pop)

Agreed. At least Cool still won in the end and the following games were good.

Really? I want to hear other people's opinions on this. I don't think my tests would accurately simulate the situation.

It's awesome how people try to take away the bright of DIMAGA's games by saying he disconnected by purpose. I've seen DIMAGA lagging in many games and tourneys, even matches he was winning. Last weekend he was lagging against Satiini in ZOTAC final, but he just wanted to end the games fast due to that and went for all-in strats. It's obvious he's got internet problem sometimes.

What I found more funny than DIMAGA's disconnect was the fact that Cool had to try a cheese strat twice. That's what I call of "fear of your opponent".

Show me some quotes of people saying he disconnected on purpose? Maybe I missed them but I don't see such claims. At most people keep the possibility open which is fine though probably not the case. Please stop posting such non-sense.

What I find funny is that you call something designed to beat his opponent cheese instead of a smart move. Once you get a feel for your opponents builds and you open with something designed to beat what you think he will do, that's strategically a great play and not something you should downgrade so easily and put it aside under the calling of fear of your opponent. I'm tired of repeating this in every topic. It goes for my series against Gerrard as well I've seen people discredit his wins by calling them cheese whereas all his strategies were tailor made to beat mine. It's a ridiculous attitude. If anything I found his early pool on Steppes a great move it definitely caught Dimaga off guard.

He can make some minor adjustments and he can mentally prepare for the incoming zerglings.

I rooted for Dimaga for the entire tourney but that instant dc right upon seeing the zerglings was just pure cheating in my opinion. I really hated that move, he should've just tried to fend it off as good as possible and if Cool won, then he deserves the title. What f*cking bad sportmanship.

Yeah yeah, he had some connection problems before but those don't say anything at all, he could've prepared for his "joker-disconnect", of course it can't be proven that it was intentional, but in my opinion it could not have been more obvious.
