so true, way to burn your career


You 2 are retards. Stop judging pros for claiming their obvious wins. They are in a competition.


Insulting people? Could you drop any lower?

Obvious win? You don't even play this game


Ok, no 2, but 3.


Wow... Keep up at it.

If you think this game was a 100% won then I don't know what to tell you.

Very disappointed in admins.
Players should not be allowed to give-up games in such situations.

Don't be mad at XlorD I was the one accepting him to take the win !

what a man.
so, i am even less impressed by Xlord now, that he hasn't said. "cmon dude, lets regame and may the better one win"

That would be ridiculous to expect. Xlord handled it as he should have handled it: stayed back for most of the time, and gave his 2 cents when it was clear that the situation was completely chaotic and no one knew what to do. Ideally players should never be asked or given to opportunity to give their input, but in this case they clearly did not have qualified admins ready to resolve to situation like an MLG probably would.

they should have gave the win to xlord and turned it into a bo5, that being said if u make that decision then xlord would have been tilted for the rest of the series so..

Seriously why not just remake the game and have them make the exact same number of units/upgrades they had when it crashed without playing for real and then being like "okay go" in close enough to same positions of units no one told me why my idea sucks


WTF...


yeah that's a terrible idea considering both players have been watching the replay, it would be the same as giving xlord the freewin. All he needs to do is go home and he wins. However he didn't know that before watching the replay

Should've been handled offstream, and prob in a diff room from everyone else, just those zergs, the 2 players and take or something. Xlord got bad rep from that, while he was perfectly in his right to argue his case

exactly. Use the expertise of the three players but let the ultimate decision be made by admins. Everything else is unprofessional.


Imagine the outcry if admins decided in XMG.XlorD's favor in the Homestory Cup 6 sponsored by XMG organized by the mentor of his early career, TaKe.

This was sooooo bad !!! Don't ask players who are still in the tournament to decide the faith of a match. !!
DON'T stream those discussions, you just gonna fuel the rage. Xlord is whining a lot in my eyes, there is NO WAY this was decided 100% and the rematch was the only option.
I'm really disappointed by the way they all discussed this.

Gratz to Stephano for being humble and not arguing like a litlle child( like Xlord was doing).

Rules are set for tournaments... i don't understand and don't accept that no admins were called for this. And what about the suggestion to give th win to Xlord an play 5 games ?? are we just changing the rules of a tournament following the weather now ???

REALLy disappointed

When MKP was dead against PartinG in the GSTL Finals nobody was complaining about a re-game.

Normally you wouldn't show the judges/admins showing making their decision on the live stream as well.

how can you hate on xlord? its so obvious the player wants the win....
just sincerely imagine you are in his shoes.
sucks for stephano tho obv.


honestly if Xlord thinks he is so much better than stephano and could win easily a regame shouldn't be a problem
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Admin should decide situations like these, it's not good that players get hate for it. Game was too close to call it clear victory for XlorD tho.

i think this was really bad from take and the admins... it's still his/their tournament and to let player decide... and let xlord discuss with the judge...

best idea was from tlo with a best of five


I don't know if that's the best idea but it was a reasonable option.



i just want to elaborate on this:
stephano was way behind when the game dropped; but it also wasnt 100% sure, that he would have lost
xlord gets the win, but he has also to win one more game; stephano looses this game, but he dont looses the whole series, if he want to come back, he has to play 3 games in a row freaking well because xlord seems so strong today..

but anyways, i guess the admins should have decide and the players should not have been involved, its too emotional

Stuff just got (more) real

Monster Gaming @monstergaming
@supimreallycool Should this not be a rematch? Anything can happen in a SC2 game, we all know this.

Alex Garfield's Twitter @supimreallycool
yes, it should, @MonsterGaming. expect zero EG players at homestory cup vii if they don't finally use admins. casual is cool, sloppy is not.

I already didn't like xlord, my opinion doesn't change. I hope Stephano smashes him once he practices ZvZ a bit more.

thats the "problem"
based on the last 2 days what i saw from xlord
and what i saw from stephanos stream
xlord has a better ZvZ.
