I am sorry but Special Endrey made a fool out of himself. Not only that he is casting completely wasted but beeing so one sided in favor of Beastyqt makes me sad. I understand that the game betweeen Beasty and Avilo wasn't entertaining whatsoever but both were playing there games and a caster should respect that.

Also the admins decision seems doubtful to me. Good night craftcup.

For the game they made the wrong decision, ideally the two players should have played it out.

But CraftCup admins have a tourny to run, and see finish. Avilo's style is the most terrible and boring thing I've ever seen and I would not have continued watching another game. They need to have their tourny finish, and they would favor Beasty to make it through because he would put on a more interesting game.

What they did seemed like favoritism, Beasty was BMing hard , and Avilo deserved to continue on his way to probable victory. It's completely ridiculous and Avilo is probably right to be pissed off and not play.

IMHO, focusing on the tournament as a spectator sport, they did the right thing. From the perspective of a competitive sport, they did the completely wrong thing. Honestly, overall I'm not sure what to think about this other than Beasty is a hypocritical prick and I hope he loses.

What an unprofessional way to deal with the situation. If you're not willing to wait for the game to finish, or at least reach a true stalemate, then you shouldn't run a tournament.

Also, you're letting beastyqt act like a mobster or whatever, pausing the game without explaining and being a bm douche.

If beasty left that game on his own initiative then this tournament is a joke so I hope at least that wasn't the case.


That!

This kind of horrible refereeing makes at least me not wanna watch any more craftcup. Boring game, sure it was, but it was beasty being a bm douche...

neutral perspective here.

Terrible, terrible decision by Craftcup admins. Avilo was actually in a completely dominant position in that second game and was inevitibly going to win (had a superior army in every respect). How on earth is that a stalemate? The admins have been pressured into making completely the wrong decision and I've lost all respect for Craftcup and won't be watching it anymore.

You don't like Avilo's playstyle? That's fine, but you can't start stopping games if they go over an hour...

Utter crap.

He should have refused to play. That match was not a draw. Enemy units were being destroyed.

Slow Pace does NOT mean a draw.

Avilo was still mining gas from his gold base. Not sure how much more was in there, but it wasn't exactly a 3k gas lead.

Avilo wasn't in the lead in the 2nd game. Beastyqt didn't rebuild his forces, even tho he was sitting on 30k minerals, presumably because he wanted to show that a stalemate was arrived at.

It's tricky for the admins to decide situations like this. Avilo was definitely abusing the turtle strategy to the point where it's game-breaking. If you turtle and drag out the game so that the map gets mined out and aim for a stalemate, then I think admins can step in and declare the other player the winner. It's not really sportsmanlike behavior, even tho technically you're not breaking any official rules.

The difference between Avilo and Beasty's gathered resources is irrelevant since Avilo was advancing on Beasty's expansion and had been slowly closing the resource gap up to that point.

This pretty much wraps up my thoughts on these events. Avilo was making VERY SLOW but steady progress.

Beasty was going the same thing of playing in a turtle style. avilo was attempting to move forward. Beasy was not.

Yeah, I do not agree with the decision of the admins to rule the game a draw.

The game would have continued for another 4 or 5 hours at this pace (how many hunter-seeker-missiled tanks can you replenish with 18k minerals?), but I don't believe it should be in the power of the admins to just rule it a draw if one or both of the players are not in agreement.

That's what Blizzard's automatic stalemate detection is for.



All this talk about who was ahead or who was trying to win the game or not is absolutely meaningless, as there's no way of knowing how the game would have actually ended. The admins should not be able to end a game whenever they please without both players agreeing to the decision.

Very unprofessional call. Under what circumstances is it permissible to simply leave the game and demand a rematch because you don't like the way your opponent is playing? That is simply a forfeit and there is no reason Avilo should be expected to re-game. Furthermore, Beastyqt was continually whining and insulting Avilo as well as pausing the game for no given reason. The fact that Avilo may have problems with other sites does not make the call warranted. Both sides had armies, minerals, and unit producing structures. It was nowhere near a draw. The game may not have been exciting, but it was still not over.

Lol all these over the top reactions over a simple regame decision in the semis of a 20 $ tournament. Makes me kinda embaressed to be a nerd.

Also that was a clear regame in my opinion. Only mistake was to call it that late. Was a regame already 20 min earlier.
Normally players decide to regame though and dont need an admin for that. But Avilo was strangely stubborn.

I remember a broodwar game recently between Flash and someone else I forgot. There the admins called decided to regame after about 40 minutes. And in that game was still much more happening then in this game between Avilo and BeastyQT. And I remember no drama there, although the game was much more important.
Off-season = best season

1. Avilo was in the leads point wise as seen in the game statistics
2. Beasty had a half as many tanks as avilo; a lot less Ravens; a huge amout of useless marines ; his lower left Island was penetrated by avilo; he lost his air superiority by flying his vikings into a nuke
3, I am sure that avilo didn't agree to a rematch. Beasty just left and the BIASED admins supported him
4. In the gsl a regame of an OPEN match would never have happened
