The other half of Sweden in internet hell

So, we were going to do a whole piece calling NiP sore losers, laughing at them for losing to Anonymo and mocking them for having bad internet.

And then, Flashpoint have gone to VAR and disallowed Anonymo's win, and the game will be replayed. Yeah, you read that right. NiP were lagging so the whole game gets replayed after an official complaint.

Now we have real grounds to call NiP sore losers.

Let's take it back a step. NiP lost to Anonymo, and complained about packet loss. We'll ignore Richard Lewis and device arguing about how much packet loss, because it's a really immaterial argument. Feel free to look that one up.

Anonymo fired back with an absolute banger, but now are being walked back and have to play the game again.

NiP supposedly had really good proof that it wasn't their fault, and pressured Flashpoint and Anonymo to accept it. Even though Anonymo didn't accept it, the game is being replayed.

Nobody knows when, because... well, this has never happened before.

Do we think Flashpoint would have done the same for Anonymo? Why wasn't the game postponed? How far does this go? Should we be replaying all the games that had a coach bug in it?

The idea that you can retcon a game after the fact seems nonsensical, and NiP being crybabies on Twitter has forced Flashpoint's hand a bit. Flashpoint should be stronger, but it's a tough situation for them.

Sh*t happens, and we are defined by how we react to it. NiP have shown themselves to be sore losers. Perhaps device is still scarred from DH Stockholm, and doesn't want to face North 2 in the lower bracket. Or maybe, he should just suck it up. Life's not fair.

Maybe they should have used some of that device money on a better internet set-up, eh?
