Someone tell Lee Sedol to ask for a match extension so it's not 3-2 if he wins, and if he somehow wins the next match after this, and wins the match extension he will reclaim his lost glory, then he needs to retire asap.

He seems to have made tactical improvements to his game so it's not too much of a longshot.

No way. Good sportsmanship means not changing the rules to suit mere desires.

Agreements made before a game which has been played fairly must maintain integrity.

Not even if both sides agree? That sounds mighty ethical to me.
