It will be regamed 2-2.

I asked why and was told not to argue. Worst decision ever.

How is it a bad decision?
Strange had a big advantage before the game, a big advantage in the game, and still didn't manage to win because he was too scared trying to win LOL.

If you want to resume from replay, you would have to restart from the point where the timer started, everything else wouldnt work.

The regame is the right decision, strange activly accepted that the timer run down and didnt force it.

If players were aware of the timers then it's a tie and a rematch. This is not a time for admins to ponder about rules. Fuck, I wonder if Strange is capable of pulling himself together for one game still :/

Strange KNEW he was throwing the win. Giving him the win would have made zero sense.

Let's just enjoy g6.

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.

the question is: will Polt demonstrate enough balls to forfeit this game, because he lost it fair and square.


You're wrong; get over it.

so in the end... Polt GG timing just beat every single Terran's GG timing with this game
Turtling until draw is just sick

C'mon... don't tilt, Strange
Everyone gives you their support

As long as players had the in-game timer, draw is logic.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

The timer in those scenarios is super in favor of terran, but you can't go back now unfortunately

You guys are basically arguing that forced 3fold repetitions or stalemates in chess shouldn't be draws if one player has a large material lead.

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.


Polt had no chance to win anymore. Stalkers were all up on his marines, he was about 5 seconds away from losing his last units.

But if it isn't specified in tournament rules then the ladder mechanic becomes a tournament mechanic. If the timer showed up correctly, it should be replayed.

Strange won the game, then the in-game mechanic for deciding draws kicked in and gave Polt a tie.
