Should have given the win to Parting, no questions asked.

Such stats are depressing as a terran. What happened, storms?

Just watched the VODS. Total robbery as Parting was like 99.8% favored to win that game. Better eco, better army, in the production facility. That's about as bad as it gets for Terran.

Finals was basically over after that, so very disappointing in the ruling. And the lack of LAN/regame-options.

About MKP vs PartinG it's just karma lol. MKP lost a series to viOlet in which he let a regame happen despite being in a huge lead .

both have to win two games.. both expend the same amount of effort in both games.. your logic doesn't follow.




thats retarded if that is true. you could just go in a game make 20 observers. scout everything dc. then come back with a good game plan and win. thats basicly what i saw happen. player a outplayed one player so bad. that he just ran his units around looking at stuff.

game 2 he doesnt do the same thing at all. he changes to the counter of what he lost to.
the other player who won game one. doesnt get to see the changes he really needs to make. because player 1 lost so bad in the first place.

such poor logic.

Storms, Chargelots, Archons and a couple of Colossi for good measure.

Not to mention that parting was ahead in supply with high tier units whereas marineking was down in supply with tier 1 units without medivac support, even if he can miraculously hold the push by sacrificing all his scvs, where can he go from there? parting can just double expand with the advantage and easily shut down at least 2 of marineking's mining bases and win in the next 2 min

This thing is not about the lack of LAN, that would not solve disconnect problems related to computers suddently crashing/overheating.

A save/reload game function like warcraft 3, or a disconnect/rejoin one like dota 2 would be much much much better than LAN will ever be.


i like this idea

it also makes the most sense given that blizzard has said they would have to essentially rebuild the entire multiplayer aspect of the game to add in lan


they don't need to even do that.

actually the most simple of fixes is actually blizzard lending (as part of the sponsorship) a battle.net server connected locally on lan, you probably don't even need a huge machine since it 'll be running a couple of matches at a single time.

The most expensive thing of this is probably paying a blizzard guy to run the whole thing on site.


Probably cost too much money for something that doesn't happen often. Also, IPL4 actually had observers from Korea and China for their local casts, so I don't think a local server works in that case. No, this doesn't affect GSTL, but just pointing out that sometimes games are observed in other areas of the world. A rejoin/reload function, if possible, would most certainly be the best way to take care of all problems.

Not going to lie, I completely lost interest after MKP won the regame, and just turned off the stream after he kept on winning.

GSTL was completely ruined and tainted. Parting was robbed of one of the best PvT games ever in the history of SC2. Prime was robbed of being considered true champions.

Thanks blizz.

That's not what happened at all... Both players ultimately played the same game, except MKP made some slightly better micro decisions in the regame compared to PartinG. If PartinG was at the same skill as MKP (for tonight at least), he would have known how he edged out in the first game and corrected the tiny mistakes he had made.

As for the first game, it wasn't decisively PartinG's yet. If you have never seen MKP play and his control with minimal units, sure, you could claim that PartinG had that game in the bag. However, there was a lot that could still go wrong for Part and right for MKP that would have put him back in the game.

What they really should have done is just delayed the finals and had someone recreate the situation in the map editor. How long would it take to do something like that? I don't know much about the SC2 map editor but judging from playing around in the WC3 editor it seems like someone who really knows what they are doing could do it in a couple of hours.

I dun think prime is being robbed of being considered true champions, they dun have much chance of winning if the match was given a fair ruling.

But about Prime not feeling like the trua champions, please, you are missing a single point:

Byun could 10-kill any team.

wouldn't it be awesome if blizzard had a function for tournaments ( an external program) that turned replays into playable maps that began in the way the replays ended?

also is the replay out for grabs?

Bummer that I couldn't record the event :S

Not to abuse the meme, but I think the real lose today was esports. The long GSTL season is finally coming to an end, they're doing the finals overseas for the first time at IPL, which is itself a huge event with a ton of hype behind it, and what should have been an awesome climax is now tainted because of the game's limitations.

Whether you agree with the regame decision or not, the fact that it has to come to that is not right. I understand that Blizz is first and foremost a business, so they have concerns about allowing LAN, but to not have any other workaround or safeguard against this sort of event really hurts the competitive scene. At least, it did today.

Granted, this kind of thing is really rare in major tournaments, and having a drop or DC at such a bad time is pretty bad luck, but just, wow... This should have been one of the highlights of the year, and now everyone just feels awful and upset. I feel bad for Startale -- while I think a regame was probably the best decision, that's an awful way to lose.

I just hope the final day of IPL is amazing and helps make up for some of the heartbreak today.

If you go by the final unit counter at disconnect.

MKP had 110 supply, 71 scvs. That means 39 supply of attack units, of which probably half are still in production. Let's be generous and give him 30 supply actually on the field. Given that Parting had already hit some of MKP's production facilities, part of that army that pop up would immediately get destroyed.
Parting had 148/149 supply(my vod wasn't clear enough to see exactly), 79 probes. That means ~70 supply of units and most of which are on the field except perhaps 1 or 2 colossi. At worst, Parting had twice the army supply of MKP and about to destroy part of potential reinforcements from those barracks.

I can't imagine anyone who has ever played the game think MKP had any legit chance. Seriously, how can you believe that?
