Nowhere, it's not about Prime. It's about restoring balance, or whatever you want to call it. I want them to lose so that StarTale can have momentum again from that complete slap down. | ||

Bad decision, but then again I do not expect good referee decisions in any sport. Why should eSport be different. Reading all this entire discussion, it seems to me fair play is basically irrelevant. You only play to win. So if you could go out and physically hurt the other team's guys intentionally in say football, hockey, etc. that would be fine, because you play to win. 1. He shouldnt 2. They shouldnt. 3. It was probably a terrible call but I see questionalbe calls by refs all the time so its not a huge deal to me. The only difference between this and that is that he had another chance to get the job done and didnt. Is it fair? NO, but he had a lot more of a chance than a lot of other athletes get. | ||

MKP is showing great games and playing his heart out for his team and just doing his job. It's amazing how fickle and disgusting this community can become, if you stop supporting Prime now then you were never a true fan to begin with (I'm rooting for ST btw) but can you imagine how MKP feels? He has to potentially deal with a tainted victory but he has no choice but to play his best. Anyway point your anger towards blizzard/ign/or w/e but not the player. your post was too long and no on read it. Poll: Did you read the aforementioned post? Yes.

Personally I'm confused how you could think white-ra would put his personal reputation and/or personal ethics ahead of his team's interests. No one in their right mind will give their away a game in a final of a team league even if they would consider it in an individual setting. | ||

The chances of disconnecting increase the more complex the networks get with subnets etc Yes, you are perfectly right on this. But even then they could include a replay mode. LAN mode alone is not the issue here. They have all the replays which means they have all the game data they need to continue where they left off. Not sure why Riot can do it but Blizzard can´t. The issue of more complex networks won´t go away. It will get even messier with time. | ||
