It ruins the spirit of HSC when some guys raging nonstop on stream. Yea Xlord would have win assuming both players play evenly, but it was not 100%. Bomber's done re-games in situations more "one-sided" than that (tech/supply/econ advantage). But yea that's all fanboi talk. | ||

Like I said, there have been many scenarios in BW and SC2 where there was no re-game when a player had an advantage. The only sloppy thing was them airing it live to everyone else. Don't do that. You can explain your decision after but I wouldn't show the live feed on the panel. | ||

Also: Ppl are discussing here that they want a serious eSport, yet get outraged when XLorD insists on his win and are proud of stephano for just giving him the win and say he's the bigger man? XLorD wanted the win, Stephano didn't seem to care and I don't really think XLorD needs to behave like a perfect gentlemen in a Situation like that. | ||

What has this to do with "being a man". Survival of the fittest: If anyone was in XlorD's shoes he also would want the free win. Some players might say "hey, let's regame" because that is expected form them (WhiteRa comes to mind). In the end, the decision was made and no one can do anything about it anymore.... | ||

The reason we don't, and the reason people keep watching past that point in a spectator sport, is because anything can and will happen. Have you ever turned off a stream early because gg and missed a comeback? the difference is that if you would regame the player in favour of the win gets a disadvantage for no reason | ||

And they even told the viewers the admins are discussing the situation, but no, then they weren't the ones to decide. OFC it's not players who should decide if an another player won or not. But like I said, TLO was the one who had the best opinion of the situation. Well Stephano earned my respect and XlorD lost it all. Why do you think TLO had the best opinion? Because it's the one you agree with. TSL3 Boxer vs Nightend disconnect was decided by Nazgul and random players they sent the replay to review. It's not super unusual. | ||

I understand he was ahead, and he has a right to say so, but being whiny and then arguing after he is given, and yes it was given, because he was ahead, he hadn't won yet, the free win is just acting like a child. So I disagree, I see exactly where they are coming from. The whole situation was mishandled, but he didn't exactly make himself seem level headed or anything beyond a spoiled adolescent. | ||
