Host games yourself if you don't wanna get zucked like that.

This is a bit complicated, as in tournaments people tend to prefer a third person to host the game, in order to have impartiality in the choice of the map.
EDIT: from now on I decided to follow your advice.

Komito, I would like to hear your opinion for some specific cases.

1) an error in the scheme settings can be invoked by the loser when he was the creator of the room?

2) a scheme error that didn't benefit anyone can nullify a game?

Those are not specific enough, they are vague. You need to elaborate on the conditions and context.

Example of the first case: let's say I'm the host in my next game in the inter80 cup against Rafka. Let's suppose I have selected the scheme with a mistake, eg wrong SD time. Rafka won (without notice the mistake) and I lost. Could I intend to cancel this game because of my own mistake?

I'm going to talk about a fact that happened to me at the inter80 cup (https://www.tus-wa.com/cups/cup-1123/?start=0#top).

My first cup game was against Mega'Adnan. Were present inside the match: Komito (he was the host and transmitted the game on twitch) and VoK (spectator inside the game). I won this game by 2x0. Some time after the game was reported, on the same day, that happened:



As the print shows, everything was decided unilaterally and very quickly. At the moment, I didn't question the moderator's decision and me and Mega’Adnan played the game again. In that second moment I lost by 2x1.

However, after reflecting better on what happened, and talking to some friends, I came to the conclusion that the decision was disproportionate, and that it was not fair because, due to the frustration it caused me (for a mistake I did not cause and that nobody noticed, including the moderators Komito and Dario - https://imgur.com/a/LPte7aS), my performance was impaired for the second match. In this sense, I would like to post here ZorroX's comment:

If I am allowed, I just want to shed some light on 3 things.

1. You always put all your heart into the 1st match. Upon hearing that it's been all in vain, you will never play the 2nd round as good. Moreover, the person whose loss was spared instantly gains an immense boost in morale (just like Uruguay that won against Ghana in penalty shootout in 2010 after Ghana's goal was stopped by hands). So the argument that Adnan did "some great moves there" isn't fair in my opinion.

One example is drawing. I used to draw a lot. I would spend 10 hours of one bigger project. I would just be utterly demotivated to do the same as good again if it was destroyed. We all lost an essay that we spent a night on, you know this feeling.

2. One person said that Albus "agreed" to play rematch so he should be fine with it. Please show me a football player who was informed that his successful penalty was invalid, he must repeat is, and the footballer refused to do so... Nobody will refuse in a heat of a moment.

3. Komito, my friend, everybody knows you are a fantastic mod and that you have good intentions. No authority is needed here. You already earned everybody's respect. Winning is not accidental. The one who is better will win if you let them fight on a separate day, 4 days from now so that they can appear there both given 2nd chance for their morale to be the same. I think you know what's a right to do. I have damaged the good spirit of my own 2vs2 cup by my mistake, so I don't want the same to happen to this cup.

Heads up. We are all human beings. All good

The opinion of the moderators must be respected (as long as it is not a complete absurdity). What I didn't agree with was how the decision was made (unilaterally and very quickly). In my opinion, any decision that affects the player, that may frustrate him and that has the potential to divide opinions, must be preceded by the manifestation of the players (especially those affected by the decision). Mega'Adnan, for example, didn't bother with what happened:



My opinion, which was not asked before, and the solution for such cases would be as follows:

1) in case of a error in the scheme caused by the player, which no one notice during the entire game, it cannot be canceled at his request. The purpose of this is to avoid intentional changes that can go unnoticed, with the aim of canceling the game later if he loses.

2) in case the host was a third person and he is responsible for the error, as happened to me in this case, two solutions would be interesting:

2.1) both players would have to accept the consequences, as they both accepted that person as their host. This solution can be interesting to avoid the following scenario: the host, being a friend of one of the players, selects the scheme with a specific error, which can go unnoticed, and later a third person asks to cancel the game if the host's friend loses the game.

2.2) the willingness of the players involved, whether they want to keep the game or not, is questioned.

---

So here are my final considerations:

I apologize if the debate I created over the days appeared that I didn't respect your decision. However, I do suggest that any decision, without exception, which has the potential to generate diverse opinions, and which negatively affects a player, be given the opportunity for the parties to express themselves prior to the decision. This prevents future problems.

Okay, Rafka! I removed the posts.

And I would like to say that technically you won the game, because in the third round I surrendered by mistake.

I'm not sure if I understood correctly. I need choose one scheme right!? I choose intermediate: https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-10/.

I'm talking about this kind of zoom during the game. If you play schemes like intermediate, it's very useful.

Yes, but still

I know some pro players who play at lower resolutions in order to see better pixel details. However, the downside of playing at low resolution is that you see less of the map. My suggestion would just be to be able to change the game's resolution during the match, as many games allow. Thus, during the game, the player could change to 800x600 in a specific situation and then go back to 1920x1080.

How about you uses glasses?
