It doesn't really lead anywhere to make posts like this. Silver still has a shot at third place. It's a douchy move this probably hurts Ajtls more in the long run. He disconnects more often than anyone, and now most people are probably aren't going to give him the chance to replay when he DCs. | ||

I didn't see Aj do anything wrong and it's within his right to take the win. If you drop a game, the sportsmanship-like thing to do would be to follow the rules, take the loss and move on. Not to rely on the good grace of your opponent to grant you a re-game. Did Silver not take the win after the 1st game for fear of being perceived as bad mannered? Stream chat seems to reinforce that notion. At least the tourney admins were consistent enforcing their own rules. | ||

When Silver gave Aj a re-game, the commentators where praising Silver's good manners. Peoples' preoccupation with manners is sometimes too much.

At least the tourney admins were consistent enforcing their own rules. qft. also anyone watching the stream could see if ls counter pushed as soon as he dropped, silver would've had no answer for it. so there was no advantage, in fact, silver was probably behind. his expo wasn't up, and he didnt get many scvs, just delayed mining + got depots o.o D: double orbital with mules and much larger army, silver probably lost. | ||

Really poor tournament from what I can tell. Sorry y'all, not really interested in watching a tournament where casters organizers and players alike fumble, mumble and BM all over each other. Would rather listen to Idra rage about terran imba all day than watch the terrible garbage that went down tonight. Edit: Would like to point out that although there is no rule in the first post about dropping from games, there IS this rule: "* Do not be ill mannered, bad mannered or rude to anyone involved in the tournament. Doing so will result in a disqualification, upon decision of how bad the situation was from the Tournament Admins." HMMMMM | ||

Ajtls is complaining that it was getting late, so he decided to take the walk over. But his matches with Silver only got later because Silver allowed Ajtls to replay the match where Ajtls dropped (and Silver was leading that match too). I just hope other tournament organizers bar Ajtls from their tournaments for being such a douchebag in this one. | ||

Silver is given the opportunity to take the win or re-game. He chooses re-game. Game 3: Silver drops. Ajtls is given the opportunity to take the win or re-game. He chooses to take the win. There's no explicit rule about dropping but the admin's judgment on the issue is consistent. The organization and manners of the people involved is irrelevant to the issue at hand. The issue being that Ajtls declined to re-game and in your opinion, being bad mannered. What matters is that Ajtls and Silver were given the same opportunities in similar situations. Not your opinion about someone's manners. | ||

anyway, it was a decent tournament but maybe hosting such a large event in 2 days was a little too ambitious. | ||

The losers bracket between Silver and Stalife to determine third place can be completed at their discretion, the finals will be cast live. | ||

Unless one player has a significant advantage though it should be a re-game no brainer on the first drop. | ||

Look at the 3rd place match between Tarson and Dimaga at the ESL earlier today. 2-1 in Dimaga favour, Tarson drops due to BNET, refs unsure who was winning and players agree to rematch. Why would they do that? "Who wants to stiff someone with a rule to win an important match?" is a better question. In the end, what goes around comes around though and I think players that enter tournaments should be weary of shortcuts to the winner's circle. You never know who's watching you violate the spirit of the game. | ||
