That's because he isn't allowed to drink. He's only 14 or something like that.

It may be an overreaction but it was not handled correctly.
1) Such a discussion cannot be had publicly.
2) Rules for what can be done (such as extending to bo5) must be written down prior.
3) No input from xlord or stephano should be taken.
4) No player still in the tournament of affiliated with the teams of xlord or stephano should be asked (obvious conflict of interest).

The right way is obviously to have qualified admins make the decision behind the scenes according to predefined rules.

I don't hate on Xlord, he had every right to defend the advantage he worked for, but the way he conducted himself was very poor and gained 0 respect from me.
I'm far, far more disappointed from Stephano though he threw a game that was not 100% over.

Consider his position, he had 2/2, was on his side of his map for defender's, had a superior concave, against Xlord's clumped army with few infestors and less energy on them then the previous engagement. Xlord had a bank, but frankly it wasn't that big, and he also didn't have many larva left.

Yes Stephano was behind, his infestor tech was super late, and his 4th was about to be sniped, the only thing we can conclude from that is Xlord had an advantage, but I don't agree that the advantage was so insurmountable that he could get a clear win.

If, say Xlord loses his entire army to a poor engagement in the choke and loses his Infestors, suddenly Stephano has a chance to get his 4th, infestors and stabilize.
If say, Xlord retreats and regroups, waits for Infestors and energy etc, he is still ahead, but Stephano has time to also regroup, set up defenses etc.

Conclusion, Xlord was ahead, but he hadn't killed the army of Stephano and, he hadn't entered the production line of Stephano. The magnitude of the advantage Xlord had wasn't big enough to justify a win for Xlord.

And because of this Stephano's decision is ridiculously stupid, he wasn't even going to fight for his own right to play. If a regame was settled in PartinG vs MKP, Stephano had every right to call for a regame, but he didn't.

I never really liked him as a person, but I could respect him as a player, now I actively dislike him. And I can't believe how many people are actually arguing this was a good decision, and not even bringing out solid facts to back up their opinions. This was, in my opinion the worst decision that could have occurred ever since the GSTL incident.

Light was amazingly good at SC2, but he has vanished. hon_sin (Bravo) is also doing very well currently in Proleague after being a non factor in BW.
