I'm really impressed at not only how fast this decision was made but how in-depth the explanations are. Nazgul's explanation looks like a thesis on the disconnect. Wild. Great job TL.net

why not replay it anyways like they do in gsl?

sure, boxer had an advantage, but in case he had been able to keep his 3rd alive, the game would've continued.

oGsMC says the P was in a losing situation which was "irreversible," thats good enough for me.

gg with the way you guys handled this situation.

I don't think the situation could be handled any better than this. Excellent job by the TL staff.

Wow, such a great response and anticipation in the event of a disconnect. Brilliant move and why the TSL is always going to be the best run RTS tournament.

Thanks for the explanation. I personally disagree and would have liked to see a re-game (Nightend won the initial skirmish and could have put some big hurt on Boxer right after; what it the DC happened then?), but the above-board nature of Liquid's handling of this is nothing but praiseworthy. Well done, dudes.

good way to deal with it. thanks for the clarification. this kinda helped me to cool down, since i never like to give the not DCing player a loss, even if he is way behind.

Very professional, very convincing. Handled it about as well you could, too bad the players could not agree to a win/regame/loss amongst themselves, which is always the most painless way to go about things.

That said, did Boxer give a reason for vetoing Cloud without knowing his judgement to regame? I'm surprised he would even know him (or anyone besides Minchul on that panel).

I think how well this was dealt with is another valid reason why live casts with replays make so much more sense than the games being streamed live for these big online matches.

This was handled fantastically by tl.net. GJ. This supports the use of replay casting over live casting, allowing the TSL 3 to be perfect in every way. Thanks guys!

While this is never an easy situation to handle your approach is pretty good.

I would suggest your panel members to not be players involved in the same tournament for the future.

Please note I am not implying the people chosen were not impartial when reviewing the situation, but for the players and the judges sake they should not be forced to be in that position

This is the way to do it. You put some thought behind it, stable rules and explain in full detail what led to the decision.

Great work as usual Teamliquid. Setting an example once again.

Great decision, boxer was very obviously far ahead. Also, great job TL, this very solid and thorough ruleset makes this kind of situation a lot less awkward and controversial than it could be, gratz.
