It is designed to punish greedy players that skip detection (even less of an excuse for Trickster considering he was ahead)

Like... chess? You can play brilliantly all game, be ahead pieces, but by ignoring the strategic positioning of your pieces be checkmated due to a single (giant) mistake. You saying chess is a bad game? LOL. Your reasoning makes no sense: if you make a mistake as big as the one Tester made, you deserve to lose.

14:00 Thermal lance cancelled by Trickster. He sprints back to his base to slow JYP's attack. JYP with 2 collosi, Trickster has his first

Why is trickster blinking away from the colossi instead of charging them in to focus fire them?

Jyp made lots and lots of mistakes and two good decisions and won the game. That's DTs for ya. This is a horrible mindset for you, this is a strategy game where you have to make the best decisions based on information you have. Lets look at Trickster's decision: Decides to account for the chance of DT with the forge, builds one cannon to be super safe against it, yet then decides to move out. That is asking for a base trade unless you know for certain that JYPs army is at home. Owned him? JYP was down but not out, I would say his blink stalker control would of beat Tricksters when it came down to it. Did JYP play a bit risky? Yes, but he calculated the risk vs reward and decided that the path he took was the better one. He won, so he is better in that game.
Problem is that making a dark shrine when you're behind isn't really a decision. He had basically lost the game and built a dark shrine, sort of as a free extra life. It's not like he had a lead to lose, building that dark shrine.
