2. Like Eddie posted above, if the match actually led to Rev advancing to the next round (he did but in this case he got a walkover), and the following matches were played out, there wouldn't be any chance of a re-game happening as Rev would have played his next opponent already. Thus it shouldn't be any different in this case imo.

However, if Rev is more than happy to have a re-game, a completely new BO5 should be played out instead of just the final match, and maybe to compromise for Rev's disadvantage he could start the series 1-0 up?

Anyway guess the admins are gonna make the final decision, just my 2c.

Although I agree with the merits of the two reasons you brought up, saying it is fair to Iaguz here is a load of crap. He obviously got the short end of the stick by playing on a map that was not in the map pool, I don't see how you can say it was fair. Also regarding point 2, although a good point, there was no next match played, Iaguz realised the issue like one minute after the game, there was no previous ruling regarding this(hence the purpose of this thread), the admins made a call which I find questionable. (I honestly hate this attitude - a mistake was made, oh let's just run along with it, highly unprofessional). However, arguments made regarding the disadvantage for Revz upon a regame is dully noted.

Paroxysm: I'm not claiming this on the basis of precedence nor am I claiming the GSL/IPL cases were of a similar nature, I merely used those examples as an indicator of just how much of an extreme of a scenario could constitute a regame. My intention is for this discussion is to set a precedence for the future. Also I think you are underestimating the importance of a map. For example, I cringe at tournies with no vetos, because it usually means I have to play Metalopolis or Dual Sight, which I find ridiculously hard against Zerg (No way to cover all 3 bases). I would not want playing on this map to be the indicator of my skill level.

I obviously knew there were many different perpsectives to this issue, hence the poll and thread, and it was great to hear many of them, whethere I agree with them or not. If this could be seen as the "Event Report" Baldie speaks of, let this be it.
