I'm tired so im going to tread carefully here and not fall into the trap of using stupid examples and throwing my opinion around. Like I said I'm open to changing my mind here but so far am not being swayed too far.

I completely disagree with the idea of blindly following rules. This is because I don't feel the rules in any way were made to cover this situation. A judge's job is to interpret both the purpose of a law as well as its technical aspects of said laws.

The idea that this match just didn't happen or is invalid because it was on a map not in the pool does in no way mean that there should be a regame. Both players hosted this game, invited each others and casters and sat down and played a full game of starcraft. Afterwards Iaguz realised it wasn't in the map pool. He was investigating because he felt that the map led to him choosing a build which happened to be a bad choice versus the build Revenant chose. At this point he realised and complained to friends and admins, who told him there was to be no regame.

Let's imagine it was decided as a regame immediately (this way we can ignore the problems of a delayed regame, though I agree in formulating a rule we need to cover this). Iaguz could rechoose his build more wisely and potentially fix the many errors in his gameplay. Revenant on the other hand who has most likely been elated and celebrating for the past few minutes now is told "hey, your win doesn't count", you have to play again. The consequences are massive in that rev has to rethink his whole gameplan and his winning strategy and play from the previous game is potentially useless in a regame.

I feel that Iaguz has copped the short end of the straw in this situation and I wish there was a way to fix that original error. But I think stripping winners of their title and making them regame due to a wrong map after the finalisation of a victory is even more of a blow to the winner than it is to the guy who lost, in part cos of a crappy map.

I think if he played a full game and won it then yes, I do.
