EPTI don't like that the disconnect happened but I do agree with the pros' opinions that BoxeR was in the lead at the time and it would have caused a shitstorm if there was a rematch and the game went the other way.

Sure people can say that the replay of the match is the easy way out. There are no criticisms, no doubts and no arguments. However, that will annoy the player who has got the obvious lead because he knows he had the game won. The same scenario happened in Tyler vs Painuser at MLG and a replay was decided which caused so much uproar. The fact that there was no beating around the bush and a clear cut decision was taken is good enough. But the explanations provided in this thread is just outstanding. As someone has already said, each explanation is like a thesis and Nazgul also has a simulation attached which explains his decision. Great job by the admins and the players on accepting the decision and moving on. Much respect for TL and TSL would've been gained by this. | ||

Once again, I don't think that he made the decision based on that but I do think that could be a problem in the future. | ||

What I DO NOT AGREE WITH is the fact that Chill was actually whooping and hollering that Boxer got the win in game one. As a caster in front of 35,000 people, he should NOT be cheering for any decision based off of a disconnect, Day[9] was saying "It is unfortunate that a disconnect happened but the decision was made", that is the correct process to be taking as an unbiased caster but why is Chill cheering that Boxer got a win after he disconnected? This is mind bogglingly bad on his part. I do think that, absolutely, the ruling made beforehand is very smart, to create a panel of similar raced players to take a vote that needs to be passed unanimously is smart, on the other hand, I think that, like some have earlier stated, that the panel should not consist of any players in the tournament, rather, top players outside of the TSL3 player pool who have the knowledge to make a decision (Nazgul is a good choice for example). I am severely disappointed in how Chill reacted on stream to the decision, but so is the state of what happened. | ||

But I didn't realize that none of the phoenix (except two) had energy to lift off. So, yeah. Good job and thanks for the long explanation. | ||

IDK if this is done already, but you should send the replay without saying the game number EDIT how long did they wait before they played the 2nd game? | ||

I do however feel like the decision was not a good one. You can list numbers all you want, but the truth is, you will never know if BoxeR might have made some mistake during the walk/attack toward Nightends third base. You will never know 100% what the out come could have been, so I think it should clearly have been a regame. I honestly don't think it was a fair decision and put Nightend into a horrible mind set going into the next game. It's just not fair to ASSUME that BoxeR would not have made some mistake, there was a possibility of a come back. Was it a small possibility, yes. Also I do not understand how you can use PLAYERS IN THE TORUNY as a referee on the panel. How would there not be any bias, when you can decide who you want to play next/eventually in the toruny? | ||
