What would be wrong with at least trying for an extra few minutes there? There is always a chance of a mistake. We all saw how Crank basically donated his army to Major at Crank's 3rd. Mistakes happen

He had no units, no eco, no upgrades. What's there to try? Yeah there is the chance that Crank would die of a heart attack, but i guess you don't really hope for that playing the game, are you?

Maybe we finally see a macro game.
Fingers crossed.

Only terrans resilient enough to even have a chance of a comeback like that are probably Polt and Mvp.
That was a lost game for Major and not a premature gg.

That's not the first time Major beat Taeja in the first series of a group, is it? I wanted to say it's the third time, but it's probably "just" the second time.

Mkp gg's are super super late, so I was just asking MKP if he was hoping his opponents died of a heart attack.

Now that would require some creative use of physics as well as Tactical Genius. Maybe it's inflatable, that would certainly suit his style.
