Wow. In the game of StarCraft, even a speed change will change the outcome of the match. That's how volatile it is. That's weird how the game continued like that. Surely the players would have noticed something was off. They spend months practicing so one would assume they know about how long it takes, in real life, for things to happen.

Holy crap. I did not notice this live, but now that I rewatch the VOD, it's pretty obvious.

There is NO WAY to change the game speed using GameHeart, whether in the game or in the lobby. It is always Faster.

seems like your UI is Gomproof :p

Regame would be a terrible thing.

Official statement apologizing to players and viewers and a commitment to ensure a plan is made to prevent it happening again would be awesome.

Has any Korean organization or progamer made a statement?

Lets give the player a bullet time energy bar !

Also, new way to promote gameheart. "With us no one can change the game speed (just confuse the players with brighter colors)"

The result is set in stone at this point, but it'll be interesting to see a statement from GOM and the players involved.

Yeah you can't have a re-game when Parting has already been eliminated in the Ro8, unless they do a special exemption where Life gets to play Parting for the WCS spot(which he would have from beating him), but even then at this point we are talking about 1 game in a Bo3 and this is unfair to Parting, sorry.

A result would be a simple acknowledgement from GOM that this mistake is made and will be paid more attention to avoid in the future, everyone stay calm.

At this point when GSL reached the Ro4, it is kind of late for re-games as it would be unfair for everyone at this stage, particularly for PartinG and Soulkey. I suppose no one really noticed the difference because of the adrenaline and stress of the moment, but I'm surprised neither Life or PartinG noticed the minute difference, especially at the professional level. This should be handled like the NesTea vs ByuN case, where GOM should apologize to Life for the mistake.

Mind = Blown.

Thankfully this didn't happen in a bigger match. It happened and now everybody will be on the look out for it and pay extra attention.

I'm curious to see what GOM says about this. Anybody who frequents the Korean SC2 sites know if this has broken yet and how big it is?

The most surprising thing here is how the players didn't notice (or didn't say anything). Anyone who plays at that level and that often can pretty much play the first 3 minutes of the game perfectly without even thinking about it and you would think they would definitely feel that something was off very early on.

Jupp they play perfectly without thinking and their orientation points are all game related, so a noob would probably notice these things earlier if they are changed midway. But change the build time of barracks for 5 seconds and they will notice really fast.

Wonder why everyone wants a statement. It will just be a form of "wooops sorry" anyway.

It's almost 10 am in korea. This should probably have some sort of internet pile-up in the next 12 hours.
