I would be much more impressed if he looked 10 times worse.

I think Bunny would have to be the fullest of foreigners to still lose this.

at the end of the day that was an admin decision, you can't hate polt for this



fnatic had to give up her game vs LDLC when they abused pixelboosts with olof on Overpass. I believe the "anti ladder statemate" timer shouldnt be a WCS rule and is not in the rulebook, is it? Polt could have agreed that it was a loss as it was. He would have lost the marines + building. In my book; bad admin call and worse decision by Polt to take the rematch.

Simply not very mannered.

Wtf it's not about manners, it's a legitimate strategy (the only one available for Polt) to play for a draw. It was still super easy for Strange to win it but he was too scared to do it.
If you want people not to play for draws you actually have to state it beforehands or change or the game is designed.

You could say "hey this guy is not very mannered because he takes a strong race" but it's not a matter of manners it's a matter of integrity / trying to win.
If Polt forfeited it would have been like a fix because he earned the right to do a rematch.


Seemingly you dont understand. The game wasn't won to begin with when the situation occured. If Strange rushed it, he could have very well lost it. So saying "Strange was too slow to generate the win" is uncalled for as the result might have been a Polt victory to begin with.

Its beautiful to see someone work for a win and take risks etc, but forcing a draw mechanically on a player after he won is kind of pointless. I cant change the situation but I pretty much can guarantee that there won't be a draw-timer in the custom games after Tours.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. For real this time.


I'm not sure about it actually, did Blizzard intend for it to be active in custom games?

Maybe not a bug, but it could be an oversight. This timer is intended for ladder.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Really tournament has admins to decide that...
But this time the in game mechanic override reasonable human decision...
Something need to improve on this but idk maybe this time it is safer to play by the rule book for DH

He could have sent out his voidrays in pairs to kill the buildings before the timer ever started. Or left a refinery or depot alive so he can reset the timer at will.
