Hi to all,

i just registered, because i want to point out a few points from someone, who isn't involved in this communitiy and all the accusations around (bias, hate etc.) - i don't know anyone here outside of following the tournament. And after following this discussion i registered . I hope i can calm down some of you.

1. I cannot see anything pointing towards a preference for DevM from "official" side

1.1. For me it's clear, that in the "officials" thinking, the solution found was a disadvantage for DevM

1.1.1 Because the rules state clearly, that in this case (bugsplat, but very obvious advantage for one player) the referees can give the win to the advantageous player (irrelevant who had the bugsplat) and this could have been executed in this case (independent from rules of other tournaments or what another person in the chat told)

1.2. A_E - for me as an outsider - looks more on Vons side (when he said "but the game was not over yet" or similar when the others clearly stated that DevM was the winner and could/should be handed the win over)

2. Von doesn't look like someone, who talks much in comparison to DevM, so (from what i see from the talking before the match even starts), so it is no sign of favor or interdiction, if DevM talks more in percentage

3. "shut the fuck up" - like they said, the chatting was very fast, so...

3.1. ...the order of the statements in the protocol cannot prove, who A_E adressed with it

3.2. ...is a rather comprehensible way to show, that you want the others to stop writing and concentrating on that, which will follow from your side (because it is so rude, it is more likely to be noticed and followed)

3.3. however it wasn't the right choice of language

4. The solution was clearly seen as disadvantageous for DevM, because he should or at least could have named the winner of the game and therefor the match

4.1. DevM wasn't part of the decision making from what i see; he had the same role as Von (agreeing or disagreeing)

Woah, this takes the features of a crusade and a counter-jihad. This tournament was supposed to bring the community together, not divide it once and for all, right?

To summarize the two positions, it would go as follows: A_E took a decision, which he regrets to some degree (?), but within a high-pressure situation, where he had to take care of the tournament organisation, the stream AND refereeing. In this context, he used inapporpriate language (who could blame him for that) to silence everyone. However, Von thought this was directed against him personally, and together with the bias towards DevM (which A_E has posted about previously), believes that he was cheated basically. A_E on the other hand stated more than once that this decision had nothing to do with any affiliation to DevM. Nevertheless, many people on the forum started to personally attack A_E, who in turn posted the (slightly altered) chat here. With the alternation and the discussions on the forums, the whole thing started to escalate up until now, where we probably reached a stalemate.

To summarize, this argument is less about the decision itself, but rather about personal allegations from both sides. Maybe you should start clearing up those first, before you can come to an agreement on the referee decision?
