After extensive investigation, review of the video files and 2011 Pro Circuit rules, we have determined that the replay had no impact on the tournament flow or the match results. Build orders are displayed at the end of a match on the stats screen. So the replay that was viewed would have revealed nothing the match stats page would not have revealed otherwise.

Additionally, to clarify, the Complexity manager was allowed in the booth, accompanied by MLG staff, after the match had started in order to keep the game in motion after a discrepancy with his player that would have impacted the continuation of the game. Moving forward, we will look at rules outlawing any replay views on a tournament PC

Thx for confirming what everyone already knew ^_^ Of course watching the replay wouldn't give any more information since he had already scouted him

Where's the investigation into the admin who told Naniwa it was cross positions only then later denied it when it turned out it wasn't?

The admin didn't tell him that, I know because I was standing right there. Why wouldn't a player playing in a National Championship know where the spawns were? He chose the map, it is his responsibility to know the intricacies involved.

There is responsibility on the players to know the settings they are competing on. The maps were not published the day of the event.

To be fair, if a employee makes such a blunder he probably just wants to save his own skin by denying it. It's not nice, but I can see why he did it. Maybe for next time state if it's cross position only in the map name? like MLG Shattered Temple CO (cross-only) ? and NCP (no close positions) so both players and admins can know right away. Now it's a guessing game at times wiht so many versions of a map.

So, you're basically saying he lied for whatever reason to achieve whatever goal? I don't know that this makes any sense and it would seem MLG has more face to save than Naniwa by trying to convince the public that their guy was right, but whatevs.

on the site (I haven't checked today) it still stated that Shakuras Plateau was cross map only... (I could have misread too, it was around 3-4 am when I checked that )

Why? No tournament I know of has any rules against this. I have got absolutely no idea why people assumed MLG did.

This has never been an issue before, don't go changing your rules just because /r/starcraft is an idiotic bandwagon.

I'm not saying anyone lied. I'm saying there was an obvious miscommunication concerning an ambiguous question concerning general map spawns.

Exactly, why would Nani say an admin told him if one didn't? Surely he'd just say "isn't it cross only?" rather than that an admin said it. I reckon some minor official at MLG mistakenly told him and doesn't want to admit to it.

Do the rules state that you can't watch replays of aborted games?

Surely an MLG official would lie to cover their ass, but Naniwa would not lie to cover his.

The logic here is astounding.
