He then proceeded to throw all his SCVs at White-Ra in the first game, and then in the second game. Obviously, he lost both games. The series is now back even at 2-2 and has essentially been reset. - Showing MLG that the extended series after a forfeit is ludicrous and completely defeats the notion of " the player who won the first set deserves to be ahead in a rematch". It's less about "the player who won the first set deserves to be ahead in a rematch" than it is about preventing situations where you can be eliminated by a person you were actually ahead of in head to head games. If you 2-0 him the first time you meet, then he 2-1s you in the rematch, you beat him overall 3-2 but still got knocked out by him. The rule makes complete sense to me. | ||

What, should Whitera just start 2-0 against all his further opponents then? At next MLG too? Where does the arbitrary punishment for a forfeit stop? It's pretty simple: extended series exists so that players that are obviously superior to another player stand less of a risk of being eliminated through a fluke (cheese, etc) if they meet again. In this case, none of that is applicable since they haven't played before and as such, it is impossible to determine who is the better player. For all we know Whitera could be the better played that would have absolutely stomped the other guy if they'd played, and now extended series is doing the exact opposite of its job by making it harder for the better player to advance. It's not about the better player, but promoting the player who won, which should be the better player. If the other player won, whether through games or forfeit, then he should retain an advantage. And the punishment isn't arbitrary, it is applied every time two players who played, play again. | ||

Kiwikaki's bases are both ruined. 15:30 So apparently Kiwikaki is way ahead on Probes and just powers up his buildings again. He takes his Gold while Moonan just starts taking his natural. Kiwikaki hanging around the Watchtower with Zealots and Sentries while leaving 5 Stalkers in his base that destroys a 2 Medivac drop. | ||
