After three (in-game) minutes, if no player has completed any of these actions, the game issues a final three minute warning. If these final three minutes elapse without a player completing any of these actions, the game ends in a draw for all remaining players. If a player completes any of these actions, the timer resets and play continues normally.


where was the timer though?

Probably overlapped with custom game overlay and thus invisible.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

The last building that died was a barracks, 5 minutes ago. Units death don't reset the timer


But doesn't units counts?
edit guess not


Nope, never did. Notably, this prevents a single swarm host / energy units with free units to stall the game forever

Oh that note, THANK GOODNESS.

Fairest thing would be to continue from replay. My fucking god that was literally 3 seconds from Strange winning the series :D

From Liquidipedia:

A stalemate occurs when all players are unable to complete any of the following actions:

Generate income
Produce a unit
Construct a building
Research an upgrade
Destroy an enemy building

Destroying units does not count.


This is why Strange threw the game ^^^^^^

Honestly this is fucking retarded, arbitrary mechanic made for ladder games deciding a tournament game in a series that already had 1 possible outcome.


Good job Blizzard and Dreamhack referees.

If there was a timer, Polt wouldve probably turtled harder for those 3 mins. Probably going to be a draw

A marine was killed like two minutes ago. And there was no stalemate countdown.

Units don't count
This is so fucking epic

STRANGE GOT THAT WTF IS GOING ON???


Took too long to do anything, in-game tie lol
But he attacked the factory like 1 min ago? Doesn't make sense.


I don't think it's attacking the factory that resets the timer; I think it's killing a structure iirc. I could be wrong though.


Killing units must count. Medivac full of units died a couple mins before the tie.


They don't.


Then why did I watch Soulkey vs Reality for like two hours?

I thought the stalemate timer is only for ladder game?
Anyway if this is a tie it would be immensely unfair

There is not even a decision made. I will update you guys. I am ingame. I strongly believe it will be resumed from replay - the question is - will the statemate timer still count and end the game?

Did anyone see a timer, because I for one did not. Also, here's a link to how a draw is triggered. wiki.teamliquid.net
