This is tragic, but not the end of the world, and this was a professional response from them (and acceptable apologies). MLG fuck up with WCS AM Qualifiers on the other hand was way worse, and way less professionally handled.... | ||

First the Prime GSTL fiasco wherein Parting was robbed, and now that Parting is on SKT they allowed him to rob Life. I'm on to your shenanigans GOMTV. | ||

Well, yes and no. Timings won't change by the ingame clock, but you can bet that these players rely on gut feel of "how much time has elapsed" just as much as that ingame clock and that has changed. The players were probably felt something wrong with the game, even if they couldn't put their fingers on it. | ||

Blizzard should add a warning message or something to when the speed is changed in game. | ||

Even I know when the game speed is off and check it in game settings ASAP. And progamers?  | ||

I honestly believe it had a huge impact on that particular game. Parting's hold blew my mind at the time, it was so razor thin, 16% game speed could potentially have been the difference maker. | ||

Unless you're arguing that Life's build/decisions relied on the assumption that the game was on Faster, and if he'd known about the slowdown, he might have played differently and won. | ||

The slowdown made the ling hold easier than it should be. | ||

Unless you're arguing that Life's build/decisions relied on the assumption that the game was on Faster, and if he'd known about the slowdown, he might have played differently and won. It was a rush from Life where he relies on catching Parting offguard. If Parting has more time to think and control his units it gives him a advantage since his job was simply to survive. For Life it has less effect since while he could indeed micro better, his rush just got less scary since parting had more time to deal with it. | ||
