I believe that the stalemate conditions are the same for any game of Starcraft, whether custom or on ladder. Thus, if Polt can force stalemate conditions, then there is a stalemate. Any more doubt? Both players saw the timer. The observers did not because (as I said before), it was a custom OBS map. This is also the correct decision from referees. There is no distinction between ladder and tournament games: both of them have the same win and stalemate conditions. | ||

But if he was aware of the timer, that means he accepted the game would end in a tie. the question is: will Polt demonstrate enough balls to forfeit this game, because he lost it fair and square. | ||

There are conditions for draws built into the game. Polt played to those conditions. He made it. It is a ladder mechanic. It is not in the tournament rules either. Win condition is: Kill all enemy buildings. The game was won and Strange would have won with 2 more minutes. | ||

But that timer should never have influence on any tournament game ever again. | ||
