Nowadays more and more players are not putting in their best efforts in certain games in order to conserve energy for the decider.
Yeap agree. This is a very grey area. On one hand, it make sense tactically to "conserve energy for the decider" but from a ethical/gamesmanship pov it's just not right.
But within the same match, it's sometimes the right strategy to conserve your energy. Besides, you're playing the same opponent.
What a pity! I thought G3 could be close and tense with HKV throwing G2 to preserve energy.... But not, DPY is sure win... 20:10
