Warcraft 3: fnatic DC'd, Pandemic loses out

By: Rob Maher - Published October 04, 2008 at 4:20 PM EDT - Writer Archive

When Hafu disconnects from game one due to a bug, the admins make a controversial decision.

A controversial decision kicks off the match between Pandemic and fnatic Orz. In the beginning of the first map, a known bug occurred when Hafu became stunlocked and feared, causing her to disconnect. Immediately you could hear shouting from the Pandemic side saying, "that's a win-- that's not debatable."

After discussion between the admins, it was decided that the match would be replayed, much to the dismay of Pandemic. They thought they had clearly won the map, and many of the spectators agreed.

At this point it was clear that Pandemic had lost any momentum they might have had. Quickly they were down 2-0, and when asked if they would like their five minute break or if they were ready to queue, Nitrana angrily replied, "Yeah, I'm ready to get out of here."

Fnatic Orz finished off the match 3-0 with neither team making a change.

When asked to comment about the situation afterwords, Nitrana said, "I don't want to talk about it."

:O That blows

wow not wc3

SNEEAKY LIKE SNAKE

Blows nothing, pandemic is the most over rated team to ever play any wow event. They won the eswc's because they could bring people for counter comps. Now they just get shat on and never come close to winning jack lololol.

everytime sunman goes negative an angel dies

She did not intentionally disconnect therefore I think it was a fair deal to replay. If pandemic is better than Fnatic then they would have won and not get three zeroed..

Stop whining about unintentional stuff and play the game.

"shut up, it's fine, just do it ... " I love it lol

The only thing I smoke is mid. Counter-Strike, my anti-drug.

Considering that was only game 1, the game wasn't over. So you lost game 1, its BO3. Pandemic, the oh-so popular and talented team they are, should have just buckled down and won game 2 and maybe 3.

Hafu was on full health wenn she got DCed, Glickz was not but was in no immediat danger.
So it will be replayed and in a group match it really is a nobrainer.

She was on 4.9k in a stunlock with about 1.5k mana left (you could see the -49xx come up on the stream when she disconnected). If she had come out alive she would have no mana left. Pandemic's priest was FAR better off for mana and their team was in a much more solid position.
