there should always be a regame if both players still have a chance to win.

players shouldn't have the right to talk in such a situation,
since there will be a lot of hating and bashing afterwards ...

BBBBBut Stephano fans don't understand reason. XLORD must be hanged!

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


Yes, many people were complaining about the regame. It was a very controversial decision.

Oh please, that's bullshit. People were saying stuff like "OMG MKP can come back from anything!! Regame!!!" Polls showed that.

2-0'd mma, then 2-0'd stephano?
now mma vs stephano as a knockout match?
thats madness...


Yeah, he's had a very strong tournament already. It's a pity that his one moment of arguing for a win really created a bad impression on many fans.

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.

People don't even have to email the sponsors now. They already know.

Plenty of games like that where the opponent turned it around and won instead.

What did Stephano say in the background exactly ?


"I give you the win I don't want to waste more time on this."

And after Xlord kept complaining about something;

"You don't want a regame, you don't want the win, what do you want? I give you the win."

haha thx for this, Stephano really the bigger man here.

They should have handled the whole matter off stream behind closed doors

Handling it on stream is the most stressfull and unprofessional way you could possibly handle such an issue.

Funny how people are disagreeing with the decision when it was Stephano's decision.


He was forced to take it in order to avoid the shit bat drama that was already happening there. Did you even watch the stream?

Um, in pro sports you see the players (assistant captains and captains discuss penalties, the play etc.) all the time. Heck the coaches even get involved in it from time to time. This happens. Showing it on air with a live mike is a taboo concept.

Wow kinda sad with what happened. Player-judges is cool but they should have just done their decision in private, away from the players. Obviously, they have not experienced this issue before so it is something that they can improve on the next HSC.

Understandable behavior from xlord but huge props to Stephano for making that call.

Players argue with referees all the time in football or anywhere else, that doesn't mean they influence the decisions.

I don't even care for XLorD, really, but the hate he's getting from some people here isn't understandable for me.

Decision is ok, in reality XLord wins that game in 98% of the cases. Stephanos good sportmanship should be mentioned, he knows he very likely would have lost that game and grands XLord the win. That is ace. More power to Stephano

And really pleeeeaaassse stop the fucking whining, it is HSC after all.


98% sounds good, and would justify giving the win to Xlord.

But it wasn't 98%...... more like 70%.

I think we've all seen Stephano win games from worse spots.

I would take 50:1 odds on Stephano that game any time.

be mad at xlord or stephano all you want but the real culprit were the organizers, they should ensure rules and an environment that never puts players in that position, disgusting
