Currently stuck in a stalemate game in a pvp on slag pits where we both have a grouping of cannons and hes got 1 zealot 3 probes to my 6 probes. Neither of us can kill eachother but hes keeping alive the buildings in my main and then killing them one by one to reset the stalemate timer even though hes gotta take on a group of 3 cannons in his main....

So fucking stupid.

I try to use my probes to stop his zealots and probes from making the game go on further but its no use.

I seriously don't understand why people do this sort of shit. What is fun about that?

well if he decides to attack ur cannons then loses everything, you win obviously, but if he waits it out with ur 3 cannons in ur main. Then well you get draw.
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

He has cannons in my main as well. It's been a draw for the last 20 mins, he just keeps delaying it like an idiot.

It's the best tactic to get the win, if you can't win ingame you go for psychology and hope the opponent leaves.
I think esports is pretty nice.

Agreed. Stop whining OP, it's part of the game.

hahaha as far as i can tell you both cannon rushed each other? in that case serves you right ;-)
for some reason in my entire sc2 career i have yet to encounter a stalemate situation. gotta say im glad though, i guess it would rile me up a fair bit as well, knowing i sort of won the game but then again my opponent might think the same...

ummh...so does your opponent eventually have to take on a couple of cannons in your main? i guess he cant destroy all of them and will lose. ok now i get it, hes just delaying the inevitable stalemate? thats just stupid, agreed.....still...cannon rushing? xD

Sounds like an obvious waste of the time of everyone involved if it's really a drawn game.

Could you try using your probes to finish off your own buildings that he's repeatedly attacking, so that the only buildings left are the cannons and the supporting pylons? This might or might not be easy - I can't see your map, obviously.

That way he's got to attack your cannons, or let the game stalemate out...

Otherwise, if he can keep this up for 32767 seconds, game time (a little over 9 hours), the game stalemates anyway.

EXACTLY. You gotta tough it out. Do what it takes to not lose if you care so much about it, even if it means waiting 20 or 30 minutes for the draw. Let him be the dumbass that wastes his time by dragging it out while you go and do whatever. Posting this on TL shows that you're already doing something more productive than he is.

Also, if you don't like it, you can always leave

Before the stalemate detection was put in place, it wasn't unusual for these sorts of games to go the full 9 hours, if both players were stubborn enough to sit in the game until they overclocked the game timer. I had one of those games myself!

Haha this reminds me of a beta game my friend was in. I messaged him to play some twos and he said that he was stuck in a game. My answer lets go get some drinks and party. When we got home at like 2 in the morning he had a winning score screen. Totally made the night epic

It's just a game, dude. If it's not fun for you anymore, just leave and start a new game. It's not like you're in some prestigious tournament or something.

I actually had games that took the whole 9 hours to get the draw before stalemate detection. I guess it's more common when u r terran and u can fly ur buildings away

What u really should do is tell him. "Ok,I'm alt-tabbing and I'm going out for the night,see you at 4 hours if u have the patience". I did that once after the stalemale detection and he immediately let the game go to a draw. I woudl like to see the replay though.
