Macbook Pro water damage revealed scotch tape inside the screen? (alien.top)

I was unfortunate enough to spill some water inside my backpack where my MacBook Pro was. I quickly got it out and dried it, but as I examined it I see that it had got some ugly water damage inside the screen, and it looks to have been cross scotch taped in the bottom right corner, possibly as it was assembled.

​

I bought the Mac only two months ago, and thought I was looking at a very expensive repair job, but now it looks more like a warranty case, where I have got a faulty product. Thoughts?

You didn’t get a faulty product if it was working fine before you spilled water on it. Have fun, no one ever will honor any warranty on a water damaged device. Take accountability for spilling the water and pay the money or deal with it as is.
