They were 100% aware of the game timer/ draw timer. Calling it a tie and a rematch is 100% the fair call.

No way Strange wins this now, if he does it's the most impressing mapwin ever.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

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.

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.

It's one thing about rule another thing about sportsmanship
This is not good sportsmanship imo

People think it's not fair because Strange was going to win.
But he didn't do it in time so nothing fair, gotta play better yo

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.


It's not a bad decision at all.

It's a game of Starcraft, there are win conditions and stalemate conditions. Those conditions hold true regardless of whether the game is on ladder or whether it's a tournament match. please..

Strange was too indecisive to take the game where stalemate conditions were setting themselves up.

Strange was ~20 seconds away from winning, and then ran out of time because of the draw rules for the LotV ladder.

Some people feel like Strange actually won the game and should be rewarded the win.

Some feel that the rules of the game all need to be obeyed.

A lot of discussion on whether practically winning should overrule SC2 engine decisions for the ladder.

Wrong. Strange didn't win the game, was aware of the in-game countdown timer, and didn't kill the final building in time.

Ej is just super salty.

They were 100% aware of the game timer/ draw timer. Calling it a tie and a rematch is 100% the fair call.


Agreed, 100%

The correct decision. Just remove/disable it for the future.


I guess that's all I can ask for. But damn if I'm not disappointed to see such a huge upset.

Also I think half of it was how drawn in I was by the sheer tension of how close he was to winning, just to be immediately yanked out of immersion with a giant TIED screen and tasteless' jaw on the floor.

From what I can tell Polt was trying to go for the in gane timer and strange was too scared. The tie should be legal, after which blizz should implement a patch to allow players to switch off the tie timer in customs and allow tourname to use that option as they see fit.

This is perfectly said. There is no way the game should continue from replay for Strange's win as both players saw the message and Polt was playing based on that in game timer.

Now, Polt must win the whole tournament!

Yeah you can't award it to Strange because they were both playing according to the timer, so who knows what would have happened if they didn't have the timer from the beginning
