So I'm on a three game losing streak, which I hope to break. The game: TvP on Scrap Station.
I open up marine ghost, doing a ton of damage while getting an expo up with a timing push that exploits his awkward opening (2 gate before core into fast stalker?). I get a clean economic advantage, and do a second timing push while he's getting his expo up before he can reap the benefits of it.
This essentially kills him. He notes that it's difficult to beat infantry with ghosts, and I kill his main and expo.
Game over, right?
He starts running his remaining probes around, trying to get a base up, even building a nexus on the high ground outside of the natural in order to not be revealed for the pylons he was building.
Soon, his darker purpose showed.
"3 minutes until system shutdown"
I figured I could manage killing his buildings in three minutes. I kill all of his probes, and his last nexus, making him only have what I thought was one pylon left.
"10 seconds until system shutdown."
After killing the pylon, I notice on the minimap one little dot just above my units sight.
A last pylon.
"5 seconds until system shutdown."
I take a couple shots.
"Connection to battle.net lost."
I've never been so angry in my entire life. I didn't get a win because battle.net went down for maintainance, and my opponent refused to leave and stalled for this moment.
AND IT WORKED.
Replay (I think, haven't checked to see if this is, in fact, the game because battle.net is obviously down):

What a fucking douchebag, people like this need to... well, I'd like to stay not banned so I guess I'll leave that part to myself.

This is the worst feeling in the world, losing from something outside of your control =[

You won the game, in all but stats, do you really care about a number on your profile more than actually defeating your opponent?

In reality, I was on a three game losing streak, so I'm in danger of losing diamond status. This game would have broken the winning streak, so yeah.
Also it's a pretty big dick move to not let your opponent win because of maintenance.

I managed to pull off the exact same thing on iccup during a scheduled server shutdown. I was losing a ZvZ and the server shut down as he was eliminating me, I thought it was hilarious.

hahahaha

it's sad, but it's just one game plus it's still only beta. i was playing my placement match yesterday and was about 20 seconds away from victory and it dropped. shit happens 
|
Haha that sucks, I haven't been in a situation where it was this close, but I have definitely been in some games thus far when I would have won had I not dropped.
|
I just checked, it's listed as a loss on BNet (though no points were lost).

If you need stats and numbers to tell you that you have won, have fun raging for the rest of your SC2 life

It isn't really the number I care about, it's the fact that I want to still be in diamond league (I was on a losing streak when this happened, so I was worried about it), and the fact that I don't want people who delay elimination so that maintenance can save THEIR score to be able to accomplish this.
Also I played BW for almost a year on ICCup before getting into the beta, and rarely raged about things because of score (I was D, whatever meaningless score I had didn't matter to me).
