I have to admit that you make me laugh, being so naive...
Sorry next time I'll trust blindly in Marin to do the right thing.
I dont know, maybe its just me with that not trusting him with bugs thing...

Also clrearly Israel was trying to take advantage of this bug, imagine thinking that Israel could beat the powerhouse called Nigeria without a CT vs TIE..

You are just not getting the point.

I've never said a word about taking advantage of others, that's all your speculation or English misunderstanding. I disagree with the idea I quoted: "I surely used CT if my TS was 1" because it makes no sense.

Even considering all the possible option on the table, few could have been that positive about crunching.
1) Replaying all matches automatically with same lineup: would have been better following rules
2) Having the reset at the time of the deadline: would have been better following rules
3) No chance of replaying matches: tough situation. But it wouldn't have been acceptable leaving simply the ent of the reset after different efforts in the first game. Ent could have been potentially changed manually according to the efforts, and I guess most teams wouldn't have been so happy of crunching.
4) No fix at all and no reset at all: potentially good for crunching (even though negative for the worlds itself). Not so likely considering the severity of the bug.

I didn't know which kind of solution Marin was going to use, best scenario is always trying to provide equal opportunities to everyone. But he could have been potentially impossibilitate to do "the right thing". Once there, who do you think it is more fair to "help"? The ones who act as rules are claiming, or the ones who did something different?
And to be clear another time, I'm not calling the second group cheaters or something. You just bet on the fact that Marin was not going to fix anything (and I could understand the fear of Nigeria in those conditions).

I'm not blaming you because you crunched, and I'm reasonably happy with this solution which seems the best at the current moment. But that doesn't mean crunching was "surely" the best idea

This is not a question about having faith in Marin or not, I simply thought at least something would have been done.


Not necessarily equal, not necessarily fair for everyone, cause the options on the table were unknown. But thinking that there would have been no action at all was not an option I really considered. Starting from this, I don't see too many chances why crunching "surely" was so clearly the better choice.

I explained enough by the way, if the counter-argumentations are soo deep I don't see the need of going on

The main thing is to inform all 16 teams that the matches will be repeated.
Otherwise we have new discussions here Wednesday

I understand your point.
But I am playing since season 2 and this is I guess the very first time in which a BB decides to delete and play again some matches.
I mean, rules are clear, readiness to react when a bug occurs unfortunately not always as well.
So I won't pull the trigger against gpolin and the other's idea. Despite it was clearly obvious that this bug falsified everything.

well, colombia wins as the non strongest team again :)
