You can easily defend a base with 2 seige tanks (1 more popping out) against 5. It was a 80% win if bomber simply sat in his base until he maxes out before MKP, and attack. MKP had half the # of workers, and 1 mining base vs 2.

Bomber messed up, because players make mistakes, and because they don't know what we know.

And this is the exact reason why the regame is justified. Parting does NOT know what MKP has, what his production are, when his next wave of units are going to pop out, etc. So yes, from OUR point of view, if he can definitely win if he does this, and that. But that's theorycrafting; we can't assume that Parting really would of done this and that. Parting might of tries to play it safe (safe from his point of view) and pull back, get his economy back up more, and attack when he has a much bigger army; but at that point MKP would of recovered part of his army and might be able to win with his micro. The point is, we won't know for a fact what players will do FROM THEIR point of view.

A regame is never justified. It´s a needed instrument to solve problems that arrive when there is no other solution for, technology wise, people wise or something else. People are only arguing over this, because technology failed. PartinG mentally had the upper hand in this, he destroyed everything MKP could throw at him. Several times.

Technology is why we have eSports, and we all love Esports. But technology shouldn´t stand still, it should help the players avoid such situations, but Blizzard does stand in the way. Everyone that works in marketing talks about "innovation". The truth though is that companies want money, and real innovation often requires to make some tough calls and it can also be very expensive. So exactly where are the tough calls?

GOM did the right thing, they are a very professional organization. But that doesn´t mean that a regame is ever "justified". Don´t make it sound like you don´t know that. You are way more intelligent than that, I can see that in your good posts.

That's an unhealthy attitude, it must be allowed to criticize and disagree.

the judge made the regame decision because mkp was by far the fan favorite and they didnt want to disappoint the fans. it was an unjust call. mkp was partially at fault because any pro gamer in that situation wouldve know that defeat was imminent and he shouldve made the decision easier by speaking up.

all that drama aside mkp plays was amazing to say the least and those were some amazing games. those splits mm splits vs fungals and storm are just ridiculous.
