He was 110 food down. That was a stupid waste of time. There was absolutely no way for him to win. EDIT: the one time to do that is in a deciding game. | ||

Every player should do this. if every player used that GG timing i would probably stop following starcraft, because over time it would add hours and hours of pointless downtime in games where i and everyone else already know the result if the game isn't exciting it's because sometimes starcraft just isn't exciting to watch, you can't blame professionals with advanced knowledge of the game for not making it exciting with impossible nonexistent miracle micro | ||

Is it really proven IMPOSSIBLE for Heart to comeback form the situation he was in? I always feel that Terran is the race that has by far the most comeback potential and shouldn't early GG. Well the biggest reason why Moba people don't gg early is because they are a team of 5. People that like to fight to the bitter end are usuable people that really get upset about early ggs. So only need one of those on the team. Also Dota style Mobas have build in comeback chance preferable at the end. And losing will only buff your opponent not put you back into stone age. Would be like you get resources back if your units die in Sc2. Anyway it is okay in strategy games to drop out early. You can't forget if your opponent gets a huge advantage they can enter eco mode. Means while you concentrate yourself like crazy they will only try to expand and pressure you. In the end you will get more exhausted and they get rested. In Mobas this is not the as much the case. | ||

I'm not even saying Hero should absolutely have GGd, I'm just saying that the game was pretty much over at that point. There are some good reasons for staying in a lost game, like thinking about a strategy for the following one. | ||
