I just dont get how the players didnt notice.
When you practice this game for hours on a daily basis wouldn't you notice that all your units are not moving at the proper speed? and wouldn't it affect the timings and what not?
maybe its because the game started at the proper speed... it might have confused them
They would notice at the start, however since it happened like a minute in, they probably didn't even consider it could change at that point.

guess life could be all bitchy about this but i don't think he like that and he didn't notice or say anything so guess it just something that happens
Ladder is Fastest faster fastest does not exist
Wasn't it Faster and Fastest in BW?

To save the effort of having to restart a game that was created at the wrong speed. You might consider that a poor reason, but that's it.

Good statement

of course it does, but its all relative. Game timer slows down also. timings stay the same in every way, shape and form. Unless someone somehow times his builds through internal clocks which, i highly doubt.

Can happen, so what. Still, good from GOM to make that official announcement.

Life probably just assumed that his red bull had kicked in

I think its 16% slower, which is marginally noticeable, but you'll get the feeling that something is off.

Afaik it's there to avoid the opposite situation where you start the game at the wrong speed you can adjust it without regame.

It's actually pretty hard to notice when you start getting yourself occupied with macro/micro. It usually just feels like you are playing in the zone (feels like you are playing faster and better) instead of the game itself being slow.

If faster is the fastest speed then fastest actaully exist, ba dum tisch.

To think of it as some kind of bribery scandal is of course silly but there is little question in my mind that it very likely decided the entire match up. That Gom said they wouldn't replay because "Since both players played under the same conditions, the match results will not be changed and a re-match will not be held in the future." is silly, it is pretty obvious that anyone that watches sc2 that the slower speed favored Parting enormously. That said I am don't think a rematch or change of out come is logical but I just hate the lame excuse.
As Artosis said right after the match "I doubt even Parting could recreate that" yep, most likely because he won't get to play on a slower speed again.
This is quite tragic and I feel so bad for Life to have his tournament ended by a ref fuck up.

All part of Blizzard's diabolical plan to sabotage their own tournaments?
It just sucks that GOM had to be the ones who ran into this problem. I'm glad life and parting didn't request any kind of rematch, especially since life probably benefited from the time to micro his lings too. It seems more embarrassing than disasterous.

As expected. Hopefully this won't happen again like they said.
|
To avoid rehosting the game to change the game speed, Bliz decided to put in this function :/
Well it can be good or bad, but I think Bliz should add a notification or something.
|
Well shit happens, luckily since both players get affected this doesn't matter much imo. I think just for safety measures they should just unhotkey it on the ref pcs.
|
No Drama here guys, that resolved nicely ...
|
Well, it happened. I hope it won't happen again, for the players sake.

Why? Seems reasonable that some things you just judge by "guts" on the top level. And your gut-based star-sense is not worth a dime if you change game speed. Which set was it? Would it make Life advance to Ro8?
