Xlord:
Hey Guys,
I understand that you are confused and a bit disappointed in the decision somehow, but however to explain it:
In the first fight between my 2nd and 3rd base I took a similar fight against him (Infestor Roach on my side - and Hydra Roach on his side) and I fungaled <- the left side to fight on the right for a few seconds uncontested by the left side which couldnt move (obviously) and took the fight pretty convincingly.
I was going to do the exact same thing in the fight in front of his natural when the game dropped. I would've fight the left side (just a few hydras and roaches) and fungaled the right side (the main army). I also had 5 roaches at his 4th base (it was gone basically) while my base was up already. So the game was mine and I knew that.
However I understand that there are some discussions about the situatiuation and games were also lost while having this kind of lead - but I played really solid in both games in my opinion.
I am really disappointed that the game had to end like this (connection somehow broke) and I am sad aswell, since now I seem like a bad mannered player.
I am happy to see stephano making it out of the group and I would like to face him again while HSC VI and I appreciate his courage, to agree to the Win as it stands.
I hope you guys enjoy the remaining games and playoffs tomorrow - I will try my best and I hope I wont be "mindfucked" tomorrow.
I also feel sorry for DIMAGA and Snute, to be put in such a situation
thx for reading.
Take:

Hello everyone i would like to give some of my own thoughts:
First of all we do have 2 Admins for this tournament and they run the tournament all day long. Before we were discussing the disconnect live on stream we have been talking to xlord and Stephano offcamera and i was talking to one of the admins what he thinks and at some point i saw that this situation is however you call it not fair for one of the players and from my memories i had a tournament in mind which was big too where we had 3 Players who could decide if its a regame or not. We would let them vote secretly and get the best possible decision (from my point of view cause these guys have the biggest knowledge about the game)
I asked Stephano/Xlord if this is okay for them and they actually liked the idea. So why should i not do it? In the rules it usually say that the admin has the last word and he can even change the rules spontaneously.
I think i could and should have decided it faster but this was a very bad situation for me cause this is homestorycup and usually all players are nice to each other and i didn t wanna have anyone with bad feelings and put up the best solution. So for this i want to appologize it made it bigger than it should have been.
I know that this was probably abit of a emotional answer by alex but i think and hope that i can talk to you in private and fix this situation.
I also want to mention one thing in alot of leagues when it s not over 100% you decide a regame but if the players agree on a result its over. Stephano said twice to xlord once live in the camera and once off camera that if he wants the win he can take it.
All together is just a shit situation and i m happy for Stephano that he still advanced. I talked to him after the MMA series and at least he told me that i shouldnt be sad or have bad feelings cause now thats what i actually have.
Sorry to all of you if this somehow fucked you up. I will not let this happen again.
Thanks for your time and i hope you can somehow understand my situation.

It was not perfect and i can understand that some people are angry and upset. This won t happen again.
