EPTI mean fuck, I live cast a TvZ at one of the big 3 foreign events being played on location that was hosted on an old map that was patched before the queen buff. This was about 5-6 months after the patch went live. Terran opened hellions too. If anyone aside from me and my cocaster noticed, they never said anything. Both players were and still are solid; top 3 foreigners race-wise, not talking about scrubs.

Surely the Korean community would have mentioned something, right? It didn't happen untill like a 1:05 in. Us viwers dont watch the probe line too often after the infrastructure starts to go down, and watching a single worker/unit doesn't make it noticeable. Plus it was a short game, no real 'fast' units were made, slow lings and sentries are all ready pretty slow. If this had been from the beginning of the game on then im sure they would have noticed it. But adrenaline mixed with protoss/zerg early game relieing on slow units.....and the fact that it was toggled to fast after the game started, probably made it difficult. edit: or its possibly one or even both of them noticed it, and decided to play it out anyway for shits, thinking it could help them in some way, or wouldn't matter at all and didn't need mentioning. so many possibilities, but in the end no fault really on anybody imo, accidents happen, GOM has been mostly impeccable in Code S, a slight mistake that might not even have affected the outcome of the group/series isn't too big of a blemish. People making this out like its the end of the world should realize that unless Parting/Life make it out to be absolutely huge, they should treat it as the same. Makes me laugh when the community makes some things such a huge deal when the players are generallyl like 'meh' and dont care. | ||

Hopefully it won't happen again. ahh my bad, ive only gone off of what was said in this thread i thought it was a slow ling all-in, I stand corrected still, every other point stands, w hich would account for possibly not noticeing, although that does lower the chances slightly more | ||

This should be top new, its the biggest F'up in GSL history without a doubt.... as it accounts for Life being out. Given that Life is the IT player right now and that this was THE deciding match in the group of death. Crazy. OP is Deepthroat. | ||

Every ling or probe, even a split second ealier forcefield changes everything later on. Its too late to change anything, but its very sad for Life. Maybe Parting would hold it anyway, maybe not, we don't know and that's the problem. Life has 22-0 after winning 1st set... Imagine if he won that game? He could be in ro4 right now against sOs. Very sad for Life fans. For me, it's a pretty big deal and something must be done about this, obviously they cant play again, but something has to be done. 1. If the players dont make it to be a big deal, no matter what we as a community think, then its not a big deal. 2. You all keep bringinup up that 22-0 about him winning his first game like thats some kind of good defence. It doesn't matter his particular stats. It only affected one game in the series if it even did that, he still had a chance to win the series without any further mishaps. Just because he is more inconsistent if he loses the first map doesn't mean anything. Thats him, we hsould be looking at this mishap as if it was Player X vs Player Z, not Life vs Parting. The mishap is even larger since its so late in Code S, which compounds it more, but you cant use the players themselves or the stats themselves to make this mishap seem bigger than it was. 3. We aren't saying its not a big deal, were saying its not the end of the world. I like Life better than Parting, but that doesn't stop me from looking at it objectively without bias towards either one. You can't blame this one mishap on him not making it out of the group of death, there were other games he could have won, and its not even 100 percent for sure that this cost him the game. For all we know he noticed the speed was off because he was the only person using a fast unit, and decided that he wasn't going to say anything thinking it would somehow help him. We dont know, we just simply dont know enough to say that. edit: It was a very big deal, im sad it happened, but no need for a complete shitstorm about it. Just now GOM needs to be sure they watch this even more. Im still confused as to how nobody noticed when the game cleary gives an alert, and so many observers watching mean somebody had to have seen that alert. | ||

They will probably just be more cautious in the future. | ||

But after the head-bashing Blizzard did in Korea even that is doubtful. Sadly for Life he happens to play for an eSF team and his only option is to take whatever apology he is offered. | ||

And second, Life went 1-2 in that group. 1 game in a single series did not affect the entire group. Im sorry that our favorite player didn't make it, but we need to be slightly more realistic. Life should have played better in that group if he wanted to win. I just can't believe how overwhelming the life fans are trying to somehow reverse this or get a regame or even how they think this mistake was what costed life the entire group. | ||
