There are win conditions for Starcraft. Kill all buildings. There are draw conditions for Starcraft. We had draw conditions. Polt tried to bring the game to draw conditions, rather than resigning. Why are people mad? Nerchio, Bunny, etc. you're all wrong, sorry. Strange had to know the draw conditions and know that a timer was on his ass. He was indecisive, thus a draw took place. All there is to it! | ||

And he did If I know the stalemate rules, you can bet the pro players do/should. I would be one to argue stalemate has no place in professional play, especially when a player puts themselves in a position that they CAN STILL WIN. It'd be different, for me personally, if there was no win condition. But Strange clearly had won the game just moments before after a few small engagements with Polt's army, I'd argue. | ||

The trouble is, that we can't change the rules of WCS halfway through a tournament. | ||

I don't understand why people are upset either. There seems to be no actual logic behind the arguments, they are just saying "well it shouldn't be that way" okay? but it is... there's lots of stuff in sc2 that might be better if it was different... but it isn't. it's how it is... | ||
