Seems like no admin was involved when Hyun recovered the game, he also just chose the time himself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/35bs3g/dreamhack_fantasy_vs_hyun_game_1_resume/cr308wk

Fantasy should've said no but said yes. Still lost a lot of respect for Hyun, he commited all his roaches into the attack way before the lag started and then just recovered waaaaaaay before that.

I don't think DH is even aware of this.

Yeah, it confirms what I thought. FanTaSy got robbed.

Dreamhack should disqualify HyuN for this tbh. IF it's true.

need explication of rules and procedures and statement about what happened from DH before silly pitchforking

I said IF it's true. Because to be honest it's unacceptable for HyuN to exploit the situation by completely changing his unit movement counteracting mines he didn't know were there in the original fight. At any rate, needs investigation. Someone forward this to our expert.

It's worse than knowing that Mines are there (which were in his sight anyway), it's knowing that he loses the fight if he engages, so he rolls back the game before the engagement that he had chosen


Hyun won fair and straight. Fantasy didnt complaint. Is not like when JD lost to Flash. The game was very tied

No, he didn't win fair and straight. The game should have been reloaded anywhere between 12'12 and 12'15, not at 12'00. HyuN conveniently disengaged himself from a bad decision which would have cost him a lot (and probably the game).


This might of actually cost Fantasy a chance at the finals too looking at the bracket (esp if Rain > Parting).

Well, what would have happened afterwards is left to speculation, but this kind of situation is simply prone to abuse by nature, so I would like to know what procedure is planned in the rules, etc.

Its a gamble to me. A good cannon rusher like Classic should shut this down every time.

I stopped 3 hatching after I scout 1 gas core before nexus, I have sangate PDST.

So zerg actually have to split now? How fucking fascinating.


Depending on the army, Zerg splitting doesnt do much. Splitting roach hydra viper for instance means you're wasting time not attacking meaning the collosus stalker ball just kills you.


Well vs that army it doesn't. But moving out of storms makes sense. For all races.

not really? see my post, you can't just continually move back against protoss with roach hydra, the longer protoss controls space the stronger they get. the only situation where you outsplit storms with a zerg army is if they have almost nothing buffering, but that's not the case in the zvp meta, it's normally stalker/sentry/immortal/storm, and stalker/sentry/immo is already really good even without storm


So moving 15 roaches out of a storm is not worth it? It's better to suck up the damage to get one more hit in? If you truely believe that, then you need to retake that math class.

it has nothing to do with math and damage values.. as protoss every second you stay alive against a roach/hydra army while teching and producing units you are pulling ahead in the game. that is literally the entire goal of pvz against all lair tech combat units, you buy time until your composition advantage can assert itself. you're a protoss player so clearly you're aware that zone control is the one and only counter to lair tech aggression from zerg. if i max on roaches you just forcefield me until i die and if i pull back i'm wasting time and losing supply efficiency. storms are zone control just like FFs.


Not exactly sure what you mean with zone control dude. Not really a term that's being used. Can you use another word?

Disagree heavily, Hyun has no right to pause a game and recover it from the point that fits him. Fantasy has also no right to recover a game, so it doesn't matter if he agrees. In any case recovering is only to be used after a disconnect or computer failure, not after a lag.

The HOTS recover game from replay feature will be used in case of a disconnect by technical failure. If for some reason it does not work, see following rule:
If either player disconnects from the game due to technical reasons and the game is heavily favoured to the extent that the game would definitely have been won by one player an administrator may rule the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will be replayed.


Anyway after a pause an admin has to be involved.

If a player must pause the game due to technical difficulties the player must if possible tell the opponent about this before pausing. After pausing the player must inform an administrator.
If a game is paused without a reasonable explanation such as a technical difficulty the game might result in a forfeit.


That's the rule. Hyun has to call an admin, which he did not. He instead recovered the game from a point he chose himself and then abused his knowledge to retreat instead of attacking what was what he originally did.

In no way is that "fair and straight" and Hyun should be punished and I lost a lot of respect for him. Sadly it's way too late now and everything happened without an admin. I don't think DH will do anything about this, so Fantasy is just fucked. Too bad he is too nice and Korean culture forbids him from saying anything against the older Hyun and he just went along with it.

sorry but what is there to explain? it's basic english? a zone is an area, an area of the map. you control an area of the map by forcefielding to block movement, storms also block movement by forcing zerg units not to engage directly without taking severe damage

In this particular case Sacsri had Roach BL infestor against collosus stalker HT. If he splits from storms, the stalkers get free snipes on the BL. If you do that you may as well just give up the game. I don't think Sacsri should have fought at all to be honest. Should have trade out his roaches for a million queens on the ground.


There was no splitting possible in that engagement. Firstly the fight was in a narrow space, where Sacsri had nowhere to split to... And pulling back ment gg broods. The comment was a generel note...And also mainly ment to be amusing.
