Before the start of the first game, in the pregame chat, Gimix said to White-Ra, "let's do this the right way." 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. Incredible manner and sportsmanship from Gimix. Wow, very very cool. Good to see people like that in the world. | ||

Under the principle that the previous winner should have an advantage, which is what extended series promotes, then the previous winner should have an advantage. I would feel the same way if it was not extended series but 2 best of 3s. The guy who forfeited should have to win 2 best of 3s, and the other guy should only have to win 1. He shouldn't have forfeited. This makes no sense, the previous winner should have an advantage to maintain tournament fairness so that a player can't advance over another player by being 2-3 and advancing regardless(losing the first series 0-2 and winning the next 2-1). That's not the issue here, you're not promoting fairness, it's an arbitrary advantage. It isn't hard to make a distinction between a disqualification and a win, just give them a bye and keep the scores 0-0, neither of them took games off each other. | ||

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. No no, I don't think the rule makes sense because the two sets are completely separate from one another. The point is that the player who is ahead (2-0) also lost a set in the winner's bracket. That means that since both players lost a single winner's bracket set, they should be on even footing, but they aren't. The rematch is an entirely separate occurrence that should not be linked to the original one. Props to Gimix for showing such sportsmanship given the circumstances of the game. | ||

Kiwikaki hanging around the Watchtower with Zealots and Sentries while leaving 5 Stalkers in his base that destroys a 2 Medivac drop. 17:30 With Blink finished, Kiwikaki bounces around Moonan's front but decides to back off. Still 2 base against 2 base (Kiwikaki has no Nexus in his main) and Moonan is still trying to drop. Kiwikaki making Archons. | ||

This is just a completely unfounded accusation, but they aren't doing so well, so I'm wondering. | ||

As he moves towards Moonan's front, Moonan send his army around and takes out the Gold AND all the Probes in seconds. Kiwikaki comes in and crushes the entire army though. | ||
