I want to comment on the inherently flawed nature of the way the Akashi-pazza match was played out. Just as a preface, Im not doing this solely because pazza is on my team. I would strongly disagree with any instance of this occurring regardless of whether the member who is being affected is on my team or not. Of course Pazza being on my team will most likely make my post a biased towards his side.
First and foremost, the decision to give Akashi the lead 2-0 was stupid. 1-0 might've been fair, but still pushing it. Pazza literally wasn't allowed to use chomp g2 so there was absolutely no reason as to why a 2-0 lead should've been given. "The best ways to handle cheating are invalidating the cheated matches immediately and redoing only those" (quoting the goat uop there) That is the exact right way to do things. That way the advantage isn't given to the cheater but also isn't punishing the cheater for later games that they won fairly. Pazza won the set yet he did so using mons he shouldn't have. However,I don't believe completely omitting the other set and just giving Akashi a 2-0 lead was a well thought out or fair decision. Someone shouldn't be given an almost unloseable situation and a get out of jail free card simply because one game was lost due to the use of an illegal mon. Giving Akashi a 2-0 lead was basically giving him the set even though it wasn't deserved. (no offense to Akashi as I believe he's a good player but he did not deserve that victory.)
