The tournament map pool should have stated all maps were MLG versions as these had some features we liked. It seems like when the OP was last updated it no longer says they are the MLG versions although it should have.

Enjoy your temp ban.


No doubt that if roles were reverse iNcontroL would be all for switching out maps to make for a good series...


I would agree with you if he didn't regularly try cheesy strategies to "get any advantage he can"

Metal with gold? This is the reason why no other tournament uses it. Pretty sure they all changed it when DRG rushed gold at one of the MLG's (as well as mule imba on gold patches somewhat)

Also lag from an obs right when FF's needed to go down, feel bad for incontrol there, pretty shitty.

Why on EARTH does Koth still have normal Metal anyways?

Hopefully Cyto just gets stomped...


Respect for Incontrol for not making sure what maps are being played before accepting an invite into a KOTH? It's his responsibility to voice his concerns BEFORE games are played, not after you're more than halfway through the series. He fucked up and it's ultimately his responsibility. Saying that, I hope they do fix the map in the future. You have to do things the right way and causing some drama in the middle of the series because you weren't aware exactly what maps are being played is not the right way.

This is bs, if patches can change tournament then surely they can change shitty maps off the pool. I feel sorry for iNcontroL, he was robbed.

If its in the rules, I think he should have been aware. If he missed it, then fine its an honest mistake, but that doesn't change the fact that the rule say the map is in it. And no, the rules of a tournament are final. If they wanted to they could make this a bo7 all on steppes of war, as a player if you think its stupid you simply don't play.

The thing is the rules can be changed and should be changed to prevent imbalanced maps from being played. Yes, the rules are final but they can be changed. If MLG or GSL allowed a imbalanced map without knowing, I'm sure they would change the map to prevent bad games.


Yet a map like xel naga caverns remained the MLG map pool for so long. If cytoplasm came into the series having a specific build order for this specific map, then it isnt fair for him to be forced to change his strategies because incontrol doesn't approve of the map.

Why so bm, incontrol?

You're just shortening your esports career even more with that. You know, it's not like you are invited to these showmatches because you're one of the best players, but because of your personality. Don't lose that too.

They wouldn't, at least not when players are picking their maps mid-series.

A player can't just go "that map is imbalanced, I won't play on that". There needs to be set rules that you go by, else the tournament/match loses all integrity.

well I guess before I accept a match I need to check and make sure the league isn't the only one on the fucking planet that forgot about a map being horrifically imbalanced.

Take any advantage you can. Doesn't matter if it's unsportsmanlike, it's a competition for money.

Fact is, Incontrol dropped 3 games before the bad map had a chance to effect anything. BMing everyone like that was just bad form.

That was pretty cheap. Feel bad for Incontrol. Kind of douchey from Cytoplasm but hey man, $300 bucks on the line, I'd be cheap too. GG Inc. Still a fan.

Nope, the lag was _AFTER_ he needed to forcefield.
Watch the VoD, you'll see.
iNcontroL is being a crybaby, it's in the rules so deal with it.
nope
