The vitriol here is pretty strong and unreasonable. Everyone calm down. There's no need for insulting fans of the team you weren't rooting for.

No matter how many times you or other people post shit like this in the thread it will not change the result. MKP played great, won the regame, and the next 3 games. Prime won based fair and square based on the system and rules of the game and the tournament.

Marineking had to regame against Stephano yesterday and lost it but won the series. If ST was really the better team they would've overcome the setback.


LOL MAN, everyone know this, but the problem is, HE LOST THE FIRST GAME AND WITHOUT MKP WHO CAN BEAT PARTING, SQUIRTLE, BOMBER, CURIOUS?? WHO? CREATOR IS GOOD BUT NOT LIKE MKP.


It wasnt a 100 percent loss no matter how many times you or anyone else say it was. Also, stop shouting lol.

I don't know. I really enjoyed the finals. It sucks that mkp dropped but things like that happen. I could care less that a bunch of people are mad on the internet. Doesn't really taint the finals for me.

STFU please. Manner mules are one thing, pulling ALL your SCVS is another.

Pulling off ALL your SCVs is one thing, Losing to someone who pulls off ALL their SCVs when you could have easily beaten then is another.

yeah this will happen if people let taht color the entire rest of the series

it's not like Prime was down to their last game. there's NO WAY OF KNOWING what would have happened if mkp loses that game. none whatsoever.

mkp got lucky, and then played amazing and st couldn't stop him.

sometimes boiling 4 hours into one sentence doesn't allow for a great summary.

Congrats MarineKing and Prime!

Parting was on top of half of his production and he had spent his bank, he had lost

3 is half of ~15. This is news to me.

He was sitting next to or near about 7-8 tax in total he had more workers and could still reinforce

LOL MAN, everyone know this, but the problem is, HE LOST THE FIRST GAME

Then why did he continue to play? If he had lost he should have been out and unable to play the remainder of the games.

because one nice decision for regame, with 3 marauder against 18 zealots 3 archons, 6 stalker and 6 ht

3 marauders and a production cycle of units finishing enough for MKP is enough.

While I believed Parting should have been given the win, you can't forget that MKP proceeded to beat him (and the rest of the team) directly afterwards.

This win wasn't tainted, and Prime already crushed ST without MKP. ST wouldn't have won anyways.

The Bonjwas stay at their peak elo/winrates for at least a year. If MKP is in the top 3 of everything he enters for the next year or so, maybe you can call him Bonjwa.


MKP has been dominating since GSL season 2, he has 5+ second place finishes in code S/A and numerous tourneys and recently he has 10+ 1st place finishes in numerous tournaments also.

That's great. I'm just saying that these finals will always have an asterisk whenever brought up. It's the same as the Nate finals. Jaedong was able to beat Flash, but the power outage will always be the thing remembered about it.

For once, Fionn is right. No one can argue that MKP played beautifully for the last 4 games but those are games he shouldn't have played in the first place. I feel bad for IPL4 because this shit has to happen when they worked so hard to partner with GomTV for this event. It was suppose to be the BEST tournament so far, but there had been so many issues throughout the tournament. Now I fear if this "partnership" will continue or if IPL will stay around for much longer.

Some relevant math I did:
149 supply for Parting vs 110 supply MKP
Parting:
79 Probes
Army:
70 supply - 4 observers - warp prism = 65 supply
6 stalkers = 12 supply
53 supply remaining
8 HTs x 2 = 16 supply
53 - 16 = 37 supply remaining
18 zealots ~ = 36 supply
Those are all things that Parting had ON THE FIELD.
MKP had 3 marauders and 6 vikings. 20 of his supply was in production - considering that by the time that production is on the field, parting will have another warp cycle off of 15 gates.... he would be almost 80 supply up in army by the time MKP came out.
As a top masters Protoss, I can say with 100% confidence that unless parting had an aneurism, and even then, MKP would have lost the game. I can respect the judge's decision, but as a player I would be FURIOUS to win a game vs another teams ace player in the finals of the most important team league in the world, and then be forced to re-game.


You forgot to take into account the most important part of the equation, positioning.

Parting wasn't in MKP's production, only on the outskirts of the base near 3 raxes.
Parting couldn't warp into MKP's base because he didn't have many resources at the time and the vikings could have killed it off.
Parting didn't have the HT with him, they where at his base, and even then they need energy to use storms, still a long way away.

Now Parting would need to attack up a ramp, into a wall, with SCV's pulled and repairing and then marines and marauders raining fire down.

You also didn't take into account if Parting was ahead because he had just used his warp in or if he was just about to get it, most likely he had just used it, so if he commited to going up a ramp into a wall he would have done so without storms and with only the army he had there while MKP was reinforcing.

I'm not saying MKP could have won from there, but his situation wasn't as game over as you make it out to be, and clearly the refs took this into account when they rulled on rematch.

MKP had at least 5-10% chance of winning that game. He had 70+ scvs. As MC puts it "scvs are Terran's melee units." There's nothing to prevent MKP from pulling 20-30 scvs as meatshields and holding off the zealots with his reinforcements. Even so with 5-10% chance, there's still a chance. In game 2, MKP definitively won the game. So in 2 games he eeked out the 1.05/2.00 percentage. If Parting was the better player, he still would've won the 2 game...

No, he was sitting next to 3 oddly placed raxes outside of the natural ramp of MKP.

That's not the only thing the refs considered. Lets just wait for the comprehensive explanation by GOM on why the regame was decided.

Why aren't we attacking Blizzard for causing this entire situation?

I don't think anyones forgotten Blizzard, it's just that no one has any faith that they'll implement anything to fix it until HOTS is out.

Until HOTS is out?

You have way more faith than I have

I think the best solution would be to implement a "regame from replay's end' feature, which just pause the game at the end of the replay (alternatively, X seconds before, judgement call that you make before you start the game ... then you could countdown and unpause the game where it was left off assuming the replay isn't broken.

I mean, we already have replays so ... how hard can it be.

Either way, doesn't matter.

Marineking is amazing.

He would, imho, 90% sure, have lost the game that was regamed.

But he didn't steal anything, it's not his judgement call.
