There's a difference between liking a player and praising his play when they may not deserve it. It's the main problem I have with Huk fans.

The lag could potentially have affected both players adversely.

Example: Incontrol starts lagging just as he's about to put down nexus. Then his probe idles for no particular reason (LAG), for about 7-8 seconds before incontrol is able to put down the nexus. To me it looked like he shift queued the production of the forge during the lag to ENSURE his forge timing wouldn't be totally screwed up. You could see the frustration on incontrol's face during that lag spike. Nexus first build orders may hinge on SECONDS, and if losira was to send his lings straight towards incontrol's base, incontrol might have been in trouble.

What happened? The game was paused. Losira accidentally rallied his first 4 zerglings to a mineral patch in his main. It took him 3 seconds to notice.

Immediately afterwards Losira forgot an overlord at 26/26. Was unable to make an extra queen for 30 seconds. Had larva idle for ~10 seconds.

What happens next? This mistake compounds into losira feeling pressured to use all his larva to drone up as opposed to making 6-10 lings to bring down the rocks to his third.

Consequently Losira has to drop a "macro" hatchery while being at around the ~40 supply mark. A hatchery that I can almost guarantee would have gone up at his 3rd was it not for the compounding of several screw ups caused by the lag.


What I'm trying to get at is: Incontrol could've just as easily have been screwed over by the lag. There is nothing dignified or professional about forcing players to play out a game in those kind of conditions. He didn't handle the lag better/worse than Losira. That's the nature of lag. Random luck will decide who gets screwed over.

If he couldn't even build a farking drone properly, he should have paused the game.........How is that not obvious, seriously.....We knew he had keyboard issues, if he still had the same farking issues, then don't play the game out.

Being on Tilt was not the reason Incontrol lost game 1, he just got outplayed, very very outplayed.

Game 2 Losira was clearly affected by something (maybe some keys not working, like overlord) he even built a hatch that early to waste his minerals, being supply blocked for ONE MINUTE is not the same as forgetting to block your ramp / leave sentries/zealots behind.
