I think Garja has a point but it gets ignored because of the way he expresses himself. Severe lag, in my opinion, is plenty of reason to replay a game if it affected the outcome. I don't know if it affected the outcome in this case because I wasn't watching, but the decision to replay the game shouldn't be entirely up to Tit. What if he was causing the lag? The lag switch is a real thing. I'm not saying that's what happened but consider the possibility, and realize how silly you look leaving the decision up to him.
Casting from recorded games is better overall for the players, but iirc the admins decided that it wasn't a good solution because :
1) map issues
2) the viewers want to watch the games live.
We all know that Tit didn't use a lag switch, and although I didn't watch the games, the lag probably wasn't that big, garja likes to complain for nothing.
The problem with casting recorded games is that spoiling the result becomes a problem. And the fact that viewership becomes far lower so the incentive to host third party tournaments, like this one by escape, is also lower.
