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


Is there actually a rule book for in game situation? Because I can't find it.

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.

How come?
He just had to bring two void rays instead of one in order to destroy the factory, since anyways his immortal sentry adept force was enough to defend the assimilators. Plus Polt had no idea if he still had those near assimilators.
It was like 95% won for Strange, if you are bad enough not to win in that case you don't deserve the victory.

It goes by XP earned in 25 minutes game time. Actually hard to say who would have won in that case.

POLT! GO BACK YOUR KR!!

I cant believe it the BUG won the game!

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.


What bug are you talking about? I probably missed this.


The timer that can end a game and declare a tie ended the game seconds before Polt would've lost his last building.

I am wondering if it's a mistake that this timer is active in custom games, since it was introduced to end ladder games where people would float buildings etc and no admin is present.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

He did. So that result is in the same vein as uThermal getting 0-2'd by some Chinese Terran in the same tournament (I think it was TIME?).

Well the game said it's a tie so I guess if there is no clear rule it's a tie
Both player should be able to see the timer so I guess it is fair
Still a shitty situation though
Polt knew that and he was dancing his factory for getting a "draw" at the end ><
