Bolded the wrong part in your whole text. It's not about what you think...
Again, once a decisions was made, they are official even if the decision is/was wrong in retrospect. You stick to it. Every bloody professional organisation does it that way. Otherwise hell would break loose and teams would sue tournament organisations all over the place.
I am sure you are not a part of such a professional organisation... this is your opinion...which is wrong! :p

Disappointing for him but taking advantage of the error would be both unsporting and call any results from the tournament into question. Transfer that into real sports like NFL, NBA or Champions League in Football. And tell me they would do the same thing IEM just did. :facepalm: Those games also take much longer and the matches are planned long beforehand.
Have this ever happened in real sport ?
I would love to see the decision AND the reactions to that.
I still think that TT1 was screwed up but on the other hand DRG & TOP were being screwed up, they were first on their group and that's all it matters.
I still don't see how continuing with the tournament would be "better overall"
Awesome job on handling things, IEM. Giving TT1 semifinal prize money guaranteed and regaming is absolutely the right move.

Man I bet that pitcher not long ago who got absolutely screwed over because of a blown call by the first base official that ruined his perfect game wishes you were right right now.

The reason I think it was actually fine is that many tournaments use the head to head matchup to decide ties in seeding, so it would be fair to say that DRG was second (if the tournament was that way). Obviously I'm happy for gatored, but I still think it was a weird decision.

Here's three examples from MLB: http://www.realclearsports.com/articles/2010/05/20/baseball_protests_just_part_of_the_game_96964.html

eh its soooo hard to watch this tournament the lack of chemistry and knowledge of the game behind the casters is aggravating. Does anyone else notice this or am i just being too critical? I feel like if you are going to cast you should have the knowledge of each race in the game equivalent to grand masters knowledge in order to cast big tournaments.

Administrators or referees can be bribed to fix matches or in this case seeding, and when it is discovered that rules were not followed, the culprit then lies and says it was a mistake. This is why I think rules should be followed in any case.

lol, Rotterdam is more knowledgable than almost any other caster, and plays the game at a higher level than virtually anyone else casting regularly.
Bitter for his part is a very competent high masters Zerg...
