14 disqualifications in the history of professional StarCraft!

[image loading]


11/30/04 - MBC Movies Team League - Samsung, a player turned out to be an amateur
07/02/06 - Sky Proleague - Nal_Ra/Aqua team, Nal_Ra pause without typing "ppp"
11/04/06 - 10th Survivor Tournament - Odin, mistake with computer
11/15/06 - 3rd Dual Tournament - Doksa, pause without typing "ppp"
05/27/07 - SPL - Hogil/Go.Go, Hogil pause without typing "ppp"
10/18/07 - GomTV MSL - Forgg, use of forbidden bug with SCV
02/04/08 - 14th Survivor Tournament - 815, pause without typing "ppp"
04/16/09 - Avalon MSL Survivor Tournament - Ruby, "ww" instead of "gg"
04/16/09 - Avalon MSL Survivor Tournament - Tempest, "ggyo" instead of "gg"
04/28/09 - SPL Round 4 - Leta, "pp" instead of "ppp"
05/10/09 - Bacchus OSL round of 36 - Luxury, "gfg" instead of "gg"
05/13/09 - Bacchus OSL round of 36 - GoRush, "ㅎㅎ" instead of "gg" (ㅎㅎshows up if you have a Korean keyboard and you type key corresponding to "g" without changing the setting to English)
05/13/09 - Bacchus OSL round of 36 - GoRush, typed "a" accidentally
05/16/09 - Avalon MSL Survivor Tour - Sair, "ㅈㅈ" instead of "gg" (ㅈㅈ is more or less a Korean phonetic equivalent of "gg"

My question: you see all these cases where a player was gonna surrender anyway (thereby losing anyway) and is disqualified for not typing "gg" correctly? It's a loss either way, but is it counted different for the player's record (loss vs disqualification?)

I think the forbidden scv bug was actually done by go.go vs TT?

Or were there 2 separate occasions?

The SCV bug with go.go vs. TT was allowed because there was no rule in place prior to the match. After the match, KeSPA put the rule.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Interesting that in 2004 people were disqualified for juste reasons, such as not being a pro whereas in 2009 you can't even type GG in korean, lol.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Wow, there have been a lot more recent disqualifications than I was aware of...I'm surprised more people haven't complained that KeSPA should be higher in the PR.

Just like GoRush's "a" and Leta's "ppp".

Disqualification for typos is very common.

What's the different between a loss and a disqualification? If a loss by disqualification doesn't count then isn't it better since your loss won't be recorded?

As expected the last 2 months have seen as many disqualifications as the previous 5 years before that. And it's all for that stupid typing out only gg/GG rule that is screwing things up.

oDin was an amateur at that time, but Samsung put him on the roster anyway.

I think he was given a warning or something.

Agreed, why the hell do they ban people for obvious typos -_-

[e] I guess I agree with the amateur incident but everything else is just unintentional it's making KeSPA look ridiculous.

So many dq for no actual reason. It's sad and it's not good for e-sports. One of these days the korean netizens will beat the crap out of a retarded ref.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.
