Of course a regame would have been kind of unfair too, but that's just the way it is. A Bo5 would have been the best decision imo. It was over.. unless xlord basically lost all his skills and knowledge as a progamer or he suddenly got very drunk out of nothing, he would close that game. no

i remember when mkp got a regame against parting( or a really good protoss ) in the gstl finals after he 150% lost the game, it was on entombed, people were argueing he had units making in his baracks but the protoss was camping like 3 of them and was about to go kill him. I hated the admins of gom for that decision, im really glad with this decision now, good job !

Xlord was very ahead but still his manner is pretty lacking.
Everybody who was watching saw XlorD's attitude while shouting "It's FREEWIN,see,it's freewin,why regame? "
That's just a bad attitude for a competitor,doesnt matter if he was actually really ahead.
And it's bad to act that way in an event such as HomestoryCup. It should be a friendly event with the best of manners
sorry if my english is not the best.

very good point!

Take wanted to do it off stream but DIMAGA said do it on air.
imo it should have been a regame. If MKP vs Parting got a regame this should........

If both agreed, then its fine. (im sure ppl will throw pitchforks anyway)

i mean i cant argue against your statement,it may be true or it may be bs but i dont understand at all,how (edit: ) people (/edit) can be mad about someone reacting like xlord did in this kind of situation. but i guess its so easy to judge if you are watching the scenario on a stream.
edit2 : i personally think its a close decision towards a regame considering previous incidents. but i also think its bullshit that you have to have a 98% win to get the win. you are just punishing the winning player so hard by that..

Why don't mods here just close threads once they've run their course?
Nothing new or interesting will happen here 15 pages in. We all know the facts, do we need another 14 pages of people saying "lel ur bad m8" or "ur fine m8 xD".
Please stop.

Xlord, this is how I see it. Deserve the win or not, hard to say, I'm not here to argue that.
You are a strong player, and congrats on getting through, and however because of your immature shenanigans and arguing on stream, I have lost all my like for you as a player. You have one less fan here , probably more others feel the same.
Even though you got farther in the tourney, I think what you did will impact you negatively.

If it's closed nobody else will see the thread. Everyone deserves to offer their input if they're following forum etiquette imo.

I felt it was a fair decision, both players got out of the group too so it didn't make as big as an uproar as it could have

Unless there's a 100% chance to win, which it wasn't. Whining about it didn't help. Should've taken the Bo5 and not acted like a child. +1 crying like a child "it was a freewin, i was a freewin" when both were somewhere near supply and where everything depends on engagement and even best of players screw up in realy easy situations... Yes, Xlord was realy ahead and most likely to win that game but its not near 100%. Especialy on that map, especialy in ZvZ, especialy vs Stephano. That game was much closer than Parting vs MKP in GSTL Finals. It should have been re-game. The problem is that this can causes major rigging. Someone could cause a disconnect when they think they are going to lose. As far as the TSL is concerned, we never award def wins to the player who disconnects as it is his responsibility to ensure that his internet is stable. But if someone is winning and the opponent disconnects, and it is a 100% def win then we give the game. Otherwise, regame. However at a LAN situation you would expect that obvious self-disconnects to be caught by other players and horrible repercussions going to the dc'er. And thats what Take and admins of HSC should have thought, but sadly, they didnt. Yes, it would be shitty for xlord to not have a free win in that game, but thats what about SC2 without LAN, its not Stephanos fault that SC2 does not have LAN so then he has to get free loss...
And the thing is xlord have rights to be BM, "be like a child" etc. cause he is on emotions, he is a player. Its up to admins to have cold heads to think fairly and make right decisions.

Yet, professional athletes argue with refs all the time. It is just the nature of competing. It is up to the admins to make the call.

What I am saying, is that he will be remembered for doing this at HSC which is supposed to be friendly, with some slack, competition.

I agree that HSC is a casual tournament. XLORD fighting like his life on the line....what a poor sport
|
Gimme a break guys, XLord was on the best run of his SC2 career, 4-0'ing Bly, 2-0'ing MMA, and a game plus a huge lead ahead of Stephano. To those guys, HSC is a bit of a blow-off tournament, but in SC2 you gotta take every chance you get to make a name for yourself. Of course XLord would take the opportunity seriously, and of course he was upset that it could all get destroyed by a DC and 2 more notoriously coin-flippy ZvZs. He had every right to argue his position and to do so forcefully.
If you want to get your flame on, go after the admins for their horrible decision-making process. Or worse, for streaming the whole thing. Heated, emotional discussions and internal decision-making should never, ever be broadcast like that. Simply horrible handling by the tournament organizers.
|
A lot of armchair nobodies making hypocritical statements in this thread. To be expected I guess. People blame XLord for getting heated when he has a lot of money and prestige on the line, while they themselves seem pretty heated with nothing on the line except wanting their favourite player to win. The more embittered their expressions of "I will never you like you again XLord" is, the more they demonstrate that put in a similar situation they would have acted exactly the same...
