Someone just dropped a round in the SF4 finals because of a hardware problem. Not that much in Starcraft II ESPORTS makes sense, but I guess we're ahead of the curve? They do a stick/button check before every match. If during a match one player is down on life and in a combo of their opponent whats to stop them from giving their cord a tug or quietly brushing the pause button? Its extremely difficult to keep going with what you were doing after a pause interrupting the middle of a match. Street Fighter comes down to frames, not seconds, or minutes. The interruption itself is devastating. Its not acceptable to just un-pause and keep going as if the match were still on a level playing field. The only fair rule is that the pausing player forfeits the round, otherwise you open a large grey area for abuse/cheating. | ||
