Good job Blizzard and Dreamhack referees.

Strange had 10 minutes to go fucking kill him.

Yup, no worries, the only thing that was racing in my mind was "How does Polt stall the game for 5 minutes?" when he had only his factory left. And he did

If I know the stalemate rules, you can bet the pro players do/should.

You can't credit Strange with a win if Polt was playing assuming the timer meant a draw.

The game's never over until it's over. We've seen plenty of throws, even this late in the game. And this isn't the first tournament draw either.

so people are mad because...?

sounds like the game worked how the game is programmed to work

because this wasnt actually a draw

Or it wouldn't have been if Strange had the balls to go kill him with the units he has. But if he was aware of the timer, that means he accepted the game would end in a tie.

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


UNITS DYING DO NOT COUNT THAT IS WHY


But is this even a thing in custom games????

I thought it's for ladder only.


why would it be different lol


because admins would decide stuff like that in tournaments and it was only implemented to avoid endless games in ladder
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Polt was clearly trying for that type of draw too. That's the awesome part of all this

I think so too. He probably gave up on winning earlier. And the way he played after almost all the buildings had died seem to indicate he just wanted to bait void rays, kill them and thus force the draw.
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Makes that game even better knowing Polt was stalling for the timer and not slowly losing

After the MLorD and MajOr fiasco I would seriously be upset if Polt's draw is overruled.

If the timer was visible then it's a draw.
A dumb unfair draw but still a draw.

That draw mechanic is part of the game. There is no other way around here.
