What if certain players in similar positions just start trading maps just because they're friends? It obviously goes against 'the spirit of competition'. Getting charity wins is not a good thing :/. | ||

Ret surrounding Hero but Hero's FF are too good. +1 melee and the infestor energy upgrade (dunno how to spell it so :c) 13:00 4th base for Ret in the middle, Hero adding immortals +1 armour for Ret while making drones & infestors. Warp prism for Hero and +3 attack on 30% 15:00 Pushing Ret's 4th, Ret only has lings and infestors, loses his 4th base. +2 melee for Ret Hero attacking into Ret's 3rd. Ret GG's and loses 2-1 to HerO! | ||

Honestly, I didn't get that vibe from the Stephano vs IdrA games, but then again I figured that IdrA probably had a pretty good chance of winning. ZvZ is his best matchup by quite a lot right now. The BWC stuff just seemed like upset Stephano fanboys. This situation was entirely different. Hero moved out with an army that had no chance of doing anything except dying. Then he lost 11 Sentries to 25 Zerglings. | ||

Wouldn't it be better to invest that gas into a quicker hive? It's really good against stalker heavy compositions because you want lots of lings against it and +2 stalkers 3-shot lings instead of 4-shotting them. Carapace ups are huge against that | ||

Being on the same team ought to be arbitrary in a solo tournament. Any 'favours' are going to be disruptive to the integrity of the competition no matter how advantageous they are. Personally I see no difference between throwing a game for a teammate and throwing a game for money. Both are unacceptable and have no place in this game. | ||

There is no need to prove the obvious; this is no court and no one gets sentenced, but everyone saw he threw the map. | ||
