The admins should decide for themselves and not getting influenced by players, because they are obviously emotional involved. GG Xlord, continue your epic run! | ||

It definitely should have been a regame. In general, admins should have the confidence to make the call without consulting any players. Especially, the disconnecting parties should not be listened while making the decision. Just look at the rules and play by them. If the game has to be 100% over for it to be a win for either player, then it should not be hard to look at the replay and see if it was really over. I have made a few regame calls, but never had to give a win in a disconnect. Usually an admin decision is not even needed because the disconnect happens in an even situation and the players just agree to a regame. The offered BO5 was a bad idea in my opinion because it clearly wasn't in the rules. Of course the admins usually retain the right to change the rules if necessary, but that is normally reserved for surprising situations, not for cases that are already clearly stated in the rules. However, I don't know if they have any rules at HCS6, but I assume they do. | ||

In the heat of the battle.. Ofc Xlord is getting heated up after winning a major battle, and probably making the best results so far in his career. The admins should decide for themselves and not getting influenced by players, because they are obviously emotional involved. GG Xlord, continue your epic run! Totally agree, go go Xlord/Stephano ^^ (although i'm for a Grubby vs TLO finals :p) | ||

There should not be such thing as a heat of the battle, anger and emotion at HSC. But, as some people pointed out, it is a breaktrough tournament for him, I can partially understand why he did what he did. Probably emotions took the best of him. I don't hold any grudge against the guy, hell I don't know what I would do there, I wish him all the best in his career. I think that in the future he should be more mindful of how his actions are going to be perceived, because as of the moment many people consider him to be a top dickhead of SC2 and if he wont produce any results in the future he will be either competely forgotten about or remembered as the one who put a crack on HSC image with that stunt. | ||

Only for some people. For me his actions were completely understandable and justified. He had the game won, there was no need for false modesty. I bet the people whining about his actions are the same people that whine about emotionless Koreans. | ||

Edit: same as above Edit 2 : I don't say that the victory should have been given to him or the game should have been replayed, just that he did nothing wrong and all the rage on this thread is stupid. | ||

Why would it be the last time? xlord had a great wc3 career and is now a full-time pro, he definitely showed his potential in this tournament. People really need to give this guy a break. Ofc he was pissed and emotional after a disconnect like this. I guess there wasn't enough drama lately so people need to blow this out of proportion. | ||

If roles were reversed and stephano had a noticeable lead when connection dropped and he argued for a defwin all of you would be here defending him stfu and stop acting like children If you can honestly say you wouldn't have reacted the same you either have neurological or psychological condition prohibiting proper emotional responses or you simply don't care enough to be able to make it to such a tournament | ||

the biggest disappointment was dennis, after stephano giving xlord the freewin. He was pretty happy about that... | ||

In the middle of a highly anticipated 100m sprint a meteor, 2m in radius, hit the track fully destroying it. Luckly nobody was hurt. At the time of the hit Usain Bolt was 5 meters ahead of his opponents and was sure to win. Everybody knew his lead and skill was substantial and insurmountable. As a result the judges decided not to repeat the run and award Usain the gold medal due to his early lead. i don't understand, what are you trying to say? | ||

From there enforce the rules of: I'm 66:33 favorite in this game (since all the admins thought at least so), so it's a clear win for me. Do that 2 times in a BO3. <1min win. I've seen some retarded post in my life, and this is definitely top 10. A replay if the game is not 100% win is a pretty dumb rule also. Using these logic and argument. Any time a player find themselves making a bad judgement call such as getting cheesed or having a failed cheese. They can simply "pull the plug" and demand a regame. The Xlord have a big enough advantage as it is so that if the game proceed as it normally would, Xlord would be the winner. Sure, there could be a ling run by, or someone taken a wrench to Xlord knee, but that still doesn't change the fact that he was heavily favored to win at the time of the disconnect. If I was the ref, I would of given Xlord the win but offer him the option of a regame if he want to be a good sport about it. Either way, the game was advantageous enough right before the disconnect for Xlord that the decision for a regame should be left to him. | ||
