Fact is Apollo sent the message when Dragon had no chance anymore. That's when Dragon floated his buildings towards the corner, because he had no chance to make any units anymore. I don't think Apollo is the cause of how close that was but it was really close, all five buildings floated to the bottom left some at half health and the rest 75%~ and 3 of the 5 started burning due to infested terrans when they finally got out of range. | ||

If you don't have anti-air, and if you don't have the recources to build anti-air, then you don't deserve to win the game. It's not that hard, right? Some things may look unfair, but every race has those unfair things. | ||

He had 2 buildings there that were not burning down. EDIT: or maybe 3. Definitely way too risky | ||

No, and the fact that you think that really makes me question how closely you were watching. Dragon was left with 2... maaaaybe 3 buildings that were not healthy. The others that he had floated were burning. | ||

He had 6 when he turned around and started sending them to the bottom left. Infested Terrans picked off 2. | ||

Cyto without hatches, relying on extractors and superior army to stay alive, no mutas/corruptors. People are blaming Apollo for suggesting a draw because apparently they think after 5000+ ladder games Dragon is too stupid to realize that he can just fly buildings and cause a draw. | ||

Why risk it at all? 0% chance cmon man  It is Dragon. He does love putting on a show. If he was fairly sure he would just about make it, he might try to make it as close as possible. | ||

This scenario where terran gets a auto-draw because their buildings can fly can, and has happened on several occasions. Also I wouldn't blame someone for forcing a draw in that scenario, but personally I think it's bad mannered because there's literally no way you can win except for abusing game mechanics in ways they we're not meant to, trying to force a draw. If f.ex. blizzard didn't add the auto-draw timer the player with the larger army could just alt-tab and wait until he couldn't be bothered force-fielding anymore. | ||

I don't think everyone is raging and I also believe Dragon would have floated anyway, but imo any form of interaction can be off putting and influence things. I'd say if in doubt, don't type it out! At the same time, I'm not raging. I think an Incontrol slap is about enough punishment for Apollo  Edited slightly from people to everyone. Sure there are SOME crazy people raging ofc, standard! | ||
