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! Agreed. It's very straightforward, but people are knee-jerk reacting to the fact that the person who probably would have eventually won didn't win, because he made a mistake of disregarding the draw timer. Full foreigner/ throwing won games is nothing new lol. | ||

There are conditions for draws built into the game. Polt played to those conditions. He made it. | ||

But if you look at it from Polt's point of view and if he went for the tie on purpose then you could say it is also unfair towards him, since he played totally different because of the rule. So granting the win to Strange also wouldn't be right. | ||

But the fact is that the players played according to a set of rules (there is a stalemate detection) and if an admin shows up and says "Yeah, sorry boys, another set of rules", then it would be bullshit. | ||

He knew the rules of the tourney and played to them. Strange knew the rules and played in spite of them. Regame is the right choice. He was supply blocked, so no production. | ||
