Since some people have said that observers can change the game speed, I think that Legend changed the speed by accident while doing the zooming in stuff. Tough luck.

Take this with a grain of salt because I DO NOT KNOW anything for sure.

I like how OP preemptively provides direct evidence and yet people are so accustomed to fallaciously applying Argument from Authority that they boldly state he is incorrect. I bet life would be easier if my brain worked that way.
Thanks. I like to play.

Naw... originally there was no evidence in the OP whatsoever. With that evidence it is obvious that he is correct, but with no evidence this is a perfectly valid initial response.

as frustrating as it may be, they arent going to change the results or re-play the series. the best we could do is try to prevent this in the future.

now thinking about it, there is a probability this has happened in other sc2 matches as well

and all those potentially blaming legend, he is def not the only referee/ observer in the games. heavendom does the observing for the korean stream and the intro timings play at the same time for both streams

I'm not sure how you can be in such denial when there's blinding evidence, video, image, and calculations in every page of this thread.


guess I'm just ignorant. maybe it did happen, but for both players to not say or do anything about it while playing such an important game seems literally impossible. they've played thousands and thousands of games. they know their shit better than basically anyone. they had to have noticed.

Rofl you're more than ignorant, you're stupid and prideful to a fault if you won't admit your original assessment was wrong.

Then how would you explain the evidence ? So many ppl just go here and all they could say is "I dont believe it man. Someone must have notice it back then". Anyone of those ppl even look at the evidences ? It's kinda solid, and there's even a video proof on some of the first few pages. Like a child in denial stage.

how about you read what I wrote above before making silly jabs? I said maybe it did happen, but these two players had to have noticed. why they wouldn't have said anything is completely beyond me. I understand casters and spec's not noticing, but these two know the game better than anyone in the world (among a select few others obviously).


Sorry dude I wrote my reply b4 reading yours. And it wasnt really personal meant for you but there were too many replies which were exactly like that, which pissed me off a litle. Still, point is that there are almost undeniable evidences saying the game speed was fast, plus the fast that the players apparently did not notice or noticed but chose not to say anything. You should have express your opinion on that weird events, instead of a purely denial post ( or at least that's what your 1st reply sounded like )

no I agree, you're 100% right. My original post was based upon the OP at the time which had 0 evidence whatsoever. it has since been updated and I've looked at what's been presented. my only question now is how these players didn't see it. they know their timings so incredibly well that it's just odd they didn't pick up on it. very unfortunate as it is actually a pretty big problem in the scheme of things.

A Social Psychologist can write a thesis on this.
I'm no expert, so I don't know what it is called exactly, but something similar to
Ringelmann_effect or
Social_loafing happened.

A few % of people, including those working for GOM, must have noticed something strange, but literally every single one of them thought, " Someone ELSE will point out / take care of it." Then actually NO ONE did anything about it. It's really interesting and scary. What if some crucial games during WoL were played @ fast speed and no one has noticed yet today? It's quite possible.

Hah, I too noticed the lings seemed to be a bit slow for speedlings but too fast and had wings so they couldn't be without speed, just put it down to skewed perception at the time though and didn't think anything of it.

Wow I just assumed this was a mistake when I first read about it, but it seems that I was wrong! Cannot believe this happened in such a high caliber match and wasn't noticed.

I think most people, if they noticed it, probably wrote it off in their head as "ahh, I'm tired and had a cup of coffee too much probably, just my eyes fucking with me".

Great catch.

Sad for life though.

This is huge! No wonder parting had such a miraculous hold in that game, when life should have been able to kill him easy. Those magical ff are more explainable now. Big diff in series as life would have won that on faster speed and is 21-0 in series when he wins the first game. Poor life got screwed by gom's mistake.

Actually things did feel really strange during that game, but I thought it was just the extreme hype. I too was hyped to an insane level during the matches. It's weird, but definitely well within the realm of possibilities, as someone above me pointed out, if everyone thought "someone else will point it out if something is truly wrong", then stuff like this can happen.

Even with the evidence, it's so far out it's still hard to accept as fact. Also it's kinda of a big deal, hmm, really affects things a lot.
