Didn't know there were so many morally superior people here that would, in MKP's position, forfeit a regame and supersede the responsibility that falls on the referee. I suppose you would be perfectly fine to throw your entire team, the people you live and practice with, under a bus just to keep the "integrity" of the game in check.

Despite all the re-game controversy, MKP has been tested to his limits with the subsequent opponents. And now he faces ST's best Zerg.

MKP is better than parting, he deserves the wins and so does Prime

Huh? How the fuck did MKP's army win :o

Medivacs, Squirtle ran out of DPS. Not sure if he should have focused them down, but that was definitely the reason.

I'm saying that the excuse is bullshit. There was one dropped game in BW and that was literally due to a power outage. Yes, there were regames that were given thanks to hardware issues but because of connectivity? never.

So because it only happened once in BW there was no way it could have happened here?

You have no way of know what happened there is no reason to take your opinion over that of a tech guy on the scene

Your second point is a very fair point. At the same time, I think a probability of a connectivity issue thanks to b.net is far more likely than the excuse that they gave. That is all I'm saying.

i have no idea what you are even talking about. some guy said it was an internet issue. i pointed out that they said it was not an internet issue. so, wtf are you talking about? if it was not an internet issue then it was not an internet issue.

I'm saying it's very very likely an internet issue that they're covering up for PR, because chances of a random hardware failure in the middle of the match is far more slim than b.net finally dropping a game.

Funny to see you in the sc2tournaments forum.

I didn't know I wasn't allowed to watch big events anymore!

What do you think of this:

Isn't it horrible fucking form for them to do this, even if they aren't outright rigging the match?

if the only thing in their rules was a "regame" then they stuck to their rules. I just hope all the major tournaments think of a better way of dealing with situations like this. This is how the tournament scenes get better and better -- the problem first needs to surface itself. It sucks for parting but I hope StarTale's loss tonight is at least justified in the future by organizers thinking of better solutions.

There IS a system in place. The rule is that in the case of this kind of situation, the game is only a regame if it's impossible to make a call on the winner. Which is NOT the case.

Is it really impossible?

I think nearly every person I've talked to had a very clear idea that Parting had a massive advantage and probably would have rolled it to victory.

My point is: there are better solutions than a "clean" regame to give players who were ahead an advantage, and I hope all the tournament organizers look into them.

I honestly can't think of any solutions besides Re-game, or awarding a win to a player

Make it into a BO3, with Parting ahead 1-0

Let's say Parting had the game 75% won, and Parting can beat MKP 50% of the time. (hypothetically)

Then Parting just needs to win once in the next two games which ends up being 75%.

Another option is to let the regame happen in a map that Parting picks.

Another option is to award StarTale a point, but MKP can keep playing in a regame (okay this is stupid, but it's an "option").

There's many ways to deal with this that transfers an advantage.

Stalkers sure suck, don't they?

I guess it feels like I'm watching SC from the later Beta period: MMM, MMM, MMM, and sometimes tanks.

I feel like Prime would had more chances with their lineup to beat Parting than StarTale beating having players beating MarineKing.

Exactly, Creator still had a chance to pull things through for Prime, ST does not have the equivalent of Creator.

This honestly sucks. These are really great games, but being that MKP should of lost that first game, it just seems hollow.
