I'm convinced that if IT hadn't gone off for 42, KO and Bradley weren't out, and Jae wasn't playing injured... that IT would've been suspended for one game. Seems like a decision based on TV viewers and money. Will take it, though. Go Cs!
If IT has another big performance (i.e., 30+) and we win game 4, he'll immediately become a modern-day legend among a good portion of the fanbase. I think one more win in this series (especially if Bradley doesn't return and Jae continues to struggle) could help in FA, too.
