Even I as Von fan dont get why people are having issues. As mentioned before already multiple times, G5 was an EXACT rematch. If DevM would have picked another map and/or faction in G5 and had won, THEN it would have been debatable imo.
The complaints about this being not the best decision are reasonable, but then again A_E isnt even hiding this + it ended perfectly (as mentioned above from me)

Big trend in this thread seems to be also "It doesn't happen to me, or many other people I see" is complete BS imo. I know plenty of people who have the problem of bugsplatting, I know DevMs game loads the slowest in the first match he plays (maybe RAM issue). Even this is just my personal experience, just like your experience of not getting bugsplat, but I think we all know it can be an issue.
Also people are saying DevM could pick faction and win the game with that. But it was an exact rematch like aerafield said, and if DevM had won it it would have been 3-1. Now the score was 2-2, because of a bugsplat. I don't see why either of the players should be favored here, if Von got win+selection he would have had tremendous advantage, but he got a free map win. I think it was either that, or just rematch.
Now I'm biased here, but I don't have any doubts so many of the people are here for either Von or DevM. That being said, I saw the same complains when DevM bugsplat in our series, saying he did it because he was losing. From my perspective, I don't see DevM as that kind of a player, and I didn't see myself winning heavily in that game either.
To me this seems more like a witch-hunt towards DevM, for one reason or another. If you say they needed to rematch with no one getting a map or favor, I think you got a decent point. If you say Von needed to get 1 score AND map/fac selection, you're completely wrong.
