Overall, MKP played impressively once again, as did PartinG and Maru. Too bad nobody will remember the individual matches... Edit: I think the best way GOM could have handled it yesterday would be to extend the series between PartinG and MKP into a BO3, with PartinG up by one. | ||

Once again: I'm not saying ST would've won after beating MKP with Parting, but the outcome wouldn't remind you of a clean sweep (5:2 is clearly one sided). You know, just because Byun beat Parting back then, doesn't mean it's gonna happen again. The outcome of ByunvsParting wouldn't been in favor of byun just because he beat him back then. You also have to consider that parting would've had great momentum after beating Maru, BBoongBBoong and MKP back to back | ||

If Startale or the fans think that Parting deserved a win, I will resign as team Prime’s coach." I'm not sure how this is 'stepping up'. There's nothing actually on the line even though he says he'll 'resign' because absolutely no one and nothing that can hold him to account. There's no point where he actually has to resign. It was just pointless bravado. Glad we might get a replay for it. | ||

By placing his on career on the line, critizist think twice before they say what they think, because they could destroy his career because of a single tournament(which a kind hearted person wouldn't do). | ||

Him and MKP are like best freinds from way back at MBC anyway when they were teamates and it was obvious they have good chemistry in HSC. I'm calling it MC goes to prime within next 6 months. BOY MC SURE IS DROPPING OFF! He's only Code S and won a large tournament in March, but that's falling off right? | ||

I found it very disheartening that the Gom Judges couldn't take a decision on that evidence... Tainted victory my ass... It's not like the coaches decided it. It was the ref., just like in any other sport/competition, you accept the decision and move on. | ||

If I beat Nestea and Polt, I will win no matter what Huh, he doesn't even think about his first match vs MMA. Looks like he might get some deserved spanking for that.(or maybe he didn't know the bracket at the time, because the mentions sound kinda random) | ||

And lol @ your skewed perception of everybody wants successful people to fail... Also I think it as a dickish move of Gerrard to be honest ( in a western context - maybe in a korean it´s different and he really means it- however irrational it is either way) You bring up a good point. He wouldn't have beat them if he wasn't there to begin with, but Prime still had two other good players. We have no idea which way it would have went if he got knocked out. Oh well. | ||

I really feel like the refs probably made the right call, they spent 20 minutes deciding which way to go and they knew that whatever they chose half the fans would blame them for how the whole event went. If they had awarded the game to PartinG I would bet that the arguments would be at least as vehement. Anyways: congratulations to Prime and MKP those games were really well played and hard fought. Well played by Startale as well, it is a shame that seven (or eight) incredible games are being ignored by the community, instead we are just arguing over referee decisions. | ||

Your (presumably) favorite team already won, so you should just be happy with that. The circumstances objectively weren't ideal, and MKP incontrovertibly had luck on his side. You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's not tainted by the regame because the regame was the only good decision to make. Now that we, the fans, have had time to think about it, there is a general concensus that the best option would have been to do a Bo3 between MKP and Parting with Parting up 1-0, but that was something we came up with, not them, and not until after it was over. If they had just given Parting the win for that game there would be almost as much rage from Prime/MKP fans and the results would be just as "tainted." - So really there is no salvaging the series in the minds of everyone. | ||

Trust MKP, he is just such an amazing human being with insane micro which can turn the tide of any battle no matter what disadvantage he is in, nothing is impossible for him no comeback from, nothing, parting would have been totally obliterated if the game did not dc, guess startale got lucky that they got an excuse for the defeat. | ||
