People can flame me all they like in here. Chances are you've never played in front of an augience for money and won't ever know what it's like to have something stupid like this happen. I take responsibility for accepting the invite before checking to see if they were dumb. My bad.


Progamers are payed to win, you are one of the people that preach that we should not hate players for cheesing.

BREAKING NEWS.

Pro-gamer realises it's a good idea to review the rules before partaking in tournament. More on this fascinating concept at 11.

are you stupid?
do you think every single player studies the map pool that hard?
you could ask any pro in this tournament, or any pro player in NA and ask them what version they'd think it was of metal, and i bet at least 99% of them would say the MLG/GSL version and not the broken one that is only used on ladder

gtfo

You don't need to study it hard to realise what version it is. You can actually just read the map pool once. You know, just point your eyes in its general direction.

Even if incontrol read "metalopolis" in the map pool, i feel like he wouldn't go "oh shit, the metalopolis that has gold bases that no one uses"

i feel like he would read it and just assume that it would be the MLG version since that is what every tournament uses.

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.


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.


You know.. When the laggscreen comes up, you usually get a spike or two before it does so. In that situation, the lagg came when he needed to place the forcefields, then the game froze. It's just how the game does it, was incredibly unlucky


I agree. That simple fact alone should ve been a reason for a re.

You were screwed there man. Don't let it get you too down. I've been watching your stream and recent tournaments a lot and it seems you're breaking through that wall finally. GG's.

Its not entirely your fault, as an organisation, but cytoplasm is to blame too.
Having that map in, and cyto refusing to use the more balanced one (even though its still zerg favoured) and then gold expanding is just such a bullshit thing to do.

And having so many obserevers, all the casters did was hate on incontol when he missed his FFs, and they failed to comment on the fact that right at that point, the drop out box came up, followed by one of the 8 observers dropping out.

Really poor tournament tbh, admin should have changed that map, everyone knew it should have been the MLG one, even Cytoplasm, thats why he wanted that map to abuse it.



Coming from someone with 10+ posts in Incontrol's fanclub, your trashtalking is laughable...

if this had happened in a TvZ and the zerg had done the same or if it'd happened to someone on TL i would still be backing the non zerg.

to say this wasnt a low thing to do, is just stupidity. even kennigit is agreeing with incontrol

go take your detective skills somewhere else

maybe cyto went into the showmatch assuming he was goona be playing on gold metal, wouldn't be fair to just take that away.

Thank you. Incontrol blows this out of proportion. If he would have walked away and taken it like a pro gg to him. QQ in this thread makes the whole situation laughable at best.

You don't need to study it hard to realise what version it is. You can actually just read the map pool once. You know, just point your eyes in its general direction.

1. Shakuras Plataeu
2. Metalopolis
3. GSL Antiga Shipyard
4. Tal’Darim Altar
5. Winter BelShir Beach
6. MLG Daybreak
7. Entombed Valley
8. GSL Terminus SE
9. GSL Crevasse
10. The Shattered Temple
11. Xel’Naga Caverns

so you'd read that and think its the blizz version? you wouldnt think that its the same metal that EVERY tournament in the world uses?
to look at that and think its the normal version, you gotta be high or something

Metal is a bad map to start with. MLG Metal is slightly better, still Z favored. Its a pretty stupid rule not to be able to correct a mistake in the maps.

You take your advantage, but you don't have to sound like an entitled prick while doing it... I mean, if he had just said nothing and let the organizers let the rules take their place there wouldn't have been a third of the drama there is now...

You think it's hard for a player to PM the tournament hoster and ask what map version it's on?

You calling other people stupid is laughable.

Every other map says "MLG" or "GSL" where relevant. So... Yes. Because I can read.

Really? This is just you being a douche to be a douche. He admitted he should have checked the map pool before, but any legitimate tournament uses up-to-date maps to avoid really stupid strats like what we just saw. It's like getting hired to write documents for a company, and you go into work and they sit you down with a typewriter. When you laugh and ask where the computer is so you can start typing up the documents they need, they just say "should have read the fine print" and walk away.
