IML Finals Appeal Result
Filed under: Premier League
The appeal is in, here's how it went:
Remember when I said I was only half-watching this game as I was more interested in the Broncos/Colts game? Well it turns out I missed something pretty big. After everyone was specced from the OT fuck up, the staff actually decided to restart OT with everyone burned and SFE went on to get the winning kill.
That was what the appeal was about, not the original OT time mess. So the series is tied at 1-1 and game 3 will start at 4est on Sunday. Meanwhile this thread has a good chance of beating frowzy's 'hated' thread as the longest ever on the forums.
The appeal is in, here's how it went:
Appeal: The bot specced all players prematurely due to an improper setting on behalf of the ref staff. This resulted in one team losing a repel advantage.
Decision: Denied by vote (5-1; Voting Parties: Rost, Mizerie, WarEngine, Demishadow, blur, Crunchy)
Reason: This case was close enough to our precedents of egregious ref error that resulted in a resetting of items midgame. In multiple prior cases, the ref made a keystroke error that nullified an advantage for one side. That is the same case here. Historically, in these games all players were burned and the remainder of the match was played out as there is no way of knowing the status of every item for every player. Loss of team morale or percieved purpose of the game is not grounds for an appeal.
