As I said in the other thread players should never be able to overturn defwins given to them, it just leads to the community witchhunting the players that don't.

people shouldn't blame players for enforcing rules, ever. its the rules and admins that deserve blame, if any, always.

Unless the requirement for you to lose was:

Falling out of your chair and getting knocked out.

Regame.

You should never get a win unless the game is 100% over. Also, that's not even my main issue with this. Bottom line is that you acted like a dick. Stephano would most certainly have given you a regame had you been in his position.

I really wanted Stephano to win the match, but I wouldn't have been comfortable if a regame happened then he won the next 2 games.

I had to go grocery shopping during the incident, came back and looked at the wiki. I'm happy you got the walkover, it was really deserved. You played really well.

Grats!

I think disconnect is part of the game, and we should regame no matter the situation

I'm realy a big fan of MR.5:0 aswall as of Stephano!
But tbh. i thought the game was over! Even tho some ppl think your a whiner or something like that, most of us would do the same if they think they got the game! not only bcs there were 875€ on the line, but for the feeling of justice itself!
very happy ending with stehpano advancing!!

Guys, I don't see why we'd let Stephano a chance of winning if it was clearly gonna be 2-0. And that ''HSC is a community event'' argument is complete bullshit, it's a legitimate tournament with clearly enough money for them to care, and that just happens to be more fun than the other tournaments.

Xlord did what anyone would do in this situation by trying to secure what he obviously had.

You wont get any respect by me and i hope you get kicked out of your team

if you wouldve won that easy, do it again , right? You were ahead? not upgrade wise stephano was 2/2 while you had 2-0 or 2-1 so everything couldve happened as soon as stephano has infestors.

My problem is that you were ahead, but because ZvZ is so volatile, that could change in a heartbeat. A ling run-by could snipe your 4th, Stephano's upgrades were better, there were so many variables to consider that it was impossible to say that you had that game won.

As for that engagement that you mentioned, the one outside Stephano's natural when the game froze, Stephano had more hydras, a much larger attack arc, and defenders advantage. Your infestor energy would have been neutralized by Stephano's hydras and attack arc, making fungals ineffective and infested terrans not very effective. If you won that engagement (which I doubt since Stephano is so close to his resupply) you might have been able to take the win, but if you lost that engagement, Stephano's counter-swing would have killed several infestors and maybe even your 4th.

But like I said, its hard to say in ZvZ. My biggest problem is the fact that you were at the casters couch while they were deliberating and trying to come to a decision. What the fuck man? Let the guys do their job, TLO and Dimaga said that they were uncomfortable with the decision, so you being there explaining how you were ahead, fucks that up. Just go get a drink, leave the couch, and let them make the decision.

All of this is moot because Stephano's, "I don't care" attitude solved the problem and he gave you the win. Shitty situation for everyone involved, but you should have acted better.

You're not seen as bad mannered for playing a good game. The disconnect wasn't your fault.

But what's the pont of arguing with the casters which already were forced in the uncomfortable situation to make a decission.

You should've just leaned back to wait for the decission instead of arguing with TLO on stream like a madman.

If you're that confident in your skill - why not just take the 20 and extend it to the BO5?

Nobody argued about your lead in that game - But a lead doesn't mean freewin. You should know that.

anybody who watched the game and thinks that xlord did not deserve the win is the same reason they are watching the game and not playing it....

unloseable position for xlord, and losing 3 maps inarow to a player as good as stephano is very possible.

Unfortunately, I think there is no right decision in these kind of situations. Just make regame available from replay blizzard and we can move on from these kind of situations.

How often are games ever 100% over when they actually end? You can always invoke the "oh he could have fallen out of his chair" argument. XlorD had a strong argument to make there and while he may not have argued it with the most class he was still justified in standing up for himself. Regames have been awarded for less and I feel like if it were the popular fan favorite who got awarded a win in that situation there would be no controversy.
