Regame is fine, if it happens during or immediately after the series.
Once the series is done, results stand imo. What happens if this occurred mid tournament, player A realises 1 hour later, wrong map was selected, you can't reset all the games that follow, and delay things for everyone else. I know doesn't apply as much this time - but if you are setting a precedent, you have to look at the bigger picture!
Just an unfortunate thing, where both players and admins didn't notice in time.
Quote:
(1) IPL4 - Nestea vs Squritle - Regame despite Nestea in losing position because his keyboard stopped working.
(2) GSTL - MKP vs Parting - Regame with MKP in a losing position because the computers messed up.
I may be wrong, but weren't these live events, rather than playing from home/separate locations?
Technical difficulties are a completely different thing than slight map selection error i think. Also a lot easier to notice, and in those cases, live support crew were on hand to fix/swap/repair and regame? Also they didn't wait until a fair while after their series to remake the games? - I don't think those examples best support the arguement for a regame in this case.

You are right, they aren't the best examples here. I merely used them to show the magnitude what could constitute a regame.
