Terrible decision by admins in the Strelok vs Naniwa match. If battle.net goes down, it should be absolutely clear the game is over, otherwise it should be a regame.

Wow, that was obviously a regame, but admins decided to hand the win to Strelok.

2 equal sized armies, players even in supply... the game was by no means over. Very strange decision.

Bnet crashed, game was far from over, admins made a wrong decision and gave strelok the win cause they are morons and Strelok has that fancy Mouz clantag.

Poor nAni... but I guess he kinda deserves it. Karma Karma!

Incredible.
First they decided for a rematch, then, because of Strelok's whines, admins changed their minds gave him the win over Naniwa.

And it was a 100% regame.

EU B.net went down with Strelok in a good but not overwhelmingly good position. They were both on one base almost mined out, but strelok had a CC flying towards his expansion. His army consisted of pure marines + medivacs and was near naniwa's ramp. Naniwa had no expo on the way, but had 650 minerals and an army of stalkers/4 sentries/3 void rays/zealots. Food wise naniwa was slightly ahead. His army composition wasn't ideal to deal with Strelok's, but he could have broken the contain with good micro/guardian shield and he also had 10 or so more probes, which he could have pulled to break the contain. Admins determined Strelok won the match, but only after initially saying it should be a regame and Strelok whining about it.

That has to be the most unfair ref decision yet in SC2, rediculous.

I bet the admins were stressed out or friends with strelok or something.

Syllogism basically describes the situation nicely. Just to add Strelok has a Raven in the mix not too sure on the mana. Nani definitely has a chance to break the contain. This is clearly not an overwhelming position. Its best for the replay to be posted for you to decide. The decision in favor of Strelok comes after a near 20 mins discussion. I'm not too happy about the decision either.

strelok would've had time to build 5 bunkers on his natural, and he wouldn't even have needed to.

i saw the rep and i cannot see why they did not make this a rematch..

sure it was a though spot but some mismicro by strelok and some good play by naniwaa could have easily won nani the game.

bad descision imo

Strelok wasn't winning that game at all and the disconnection wasn't anyone's fault. There was no clear advantage and discussing who was doing better is quite pointless since the upcoming fight just didn't happen.

Giving him the win cause he whined about the regame is horribly unfair. Also, referees should make decisions on their own following their ruleset, changing their first decision after listening to one player's opinion is totally unprofessional. That's not what a referee is supposed to do and you got to have close to zero self-esteem if you change your decision cause one of the involved parts was bitching about it..

It is a stretch to say that you would have won for sure. Strelok had the advantage since army sizes were somewhat similar, and Strelok only needed to defend to win.

However it was far from over and the match could very well have ended in either players favor so, should have been a regame, no doubt about it.
