I'm moderately surprised that game ended while I was gone. I left at 1:54 game time. But sucks that after all that, Bling 2-0d Mana.

I disagree. I think it would have been wrong for the admins to interfere. Grubby even came into the chat at like the 30-40 min mark saying there was no way for Mana to win. Basically Mana would only be playing for the draw. On the other hand, Firecake was always able to play for the win with what he had. If the admins had stepped in and declared a draw that would be unfair towards Firecake.

I agree, Mana was basically in an unwinnnable position, however, when the same thing happens for an hour and a half (just basically locust dying, and a few units of Mana every 15 minutes) and that's literally it, something needs to happen, even if it's saying make something happen in the next 5-10 minutes or something, I don't know exactly what would have been done, but something should have. A starcraft game should not go on for 3 hours for any reason at all, with I'm guessing around 2 of it was mostly the same thing happening over and over. Someone would probably get screwed in the end sure, but, it's better than wasting 2 hours doing next to nothing.

I don't think swarmhost is the main problem here. Watching other games it rather make for exciting play forcing engagements.
The problem arrises when used in combination with mass static defense.
Removing the unit would rather encourage even more turtly game from the toss side since zerg have no way to deal with it. And while the toss could in this scenario finish the game faster once they reach their desire composition it still will be a turtlefeast up to that point and in the firecake game.. he probably could've ended the game sooner maybe starting those infestor drops a few hours earlier or pushing forward just a little once every year or so. On the other hand as it is now zerg is encouraged to turtle for the same reason, reversing the roles won't fix anything.

I did read the reddit post by Timetwister about the map but i still think akilon is the problem here. Making maps that is less "turtly" and there's actually more ways to harras would prevent this. A similar problem is seen in tvz with mech turtling into ravens and also something that mainly happen on this map or atl on other maps there is ways around it.

He's one of the top french player (basically: Tod/Dayshi/firecake/marinelord). He's in wcs challenger since the first season, and even go to first league this season. He's also well known by the EU Grandmaster to be one of the biggest badmanner, in competition with Naniwa. (And I think he really could win)
His ZvP style is very agressive, unless he goes for that kind of build. On akilon waste he's just a beast in ZvP, grats to this... fucking boring strat.
But, as Pengwin said: Like he played, he couldn't lose. So, it's not a bad decision.
