Holy crap! That's terrible that the tie rule doesn't count buildings that burn down. There is no way they don't change this for the next tournament now. Just that alone could have swayed the game by making Strange think he would get more time.

This is really divine intervention for Polt at this point, he has to win the whole thing now

Be funny if he lost 0-3 to uThermal.

Yeah it's either he stop playing badly from now on and does very well, or he crashes and burns

With Polt, you just don't know.

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.

gratz on forgetting players don't have maphacks.

He knew where the buildings are but not the army. But near the end of the game, there was that situation where he was keeping the army busy with stalkers while 1 voidray attacked the factory. It was almost dead so it got killed before the factory started burning. If he used the full health one, or even both, he would have won right then. Strange dun fucked up.

for all he knew Polt could've had 2 full medivacs only waiting for the voidray to leave to go snipe the assimilators.

He knew it was Polt's entire army. Besides, his assimilators were not undefended, 2 voidrays kill a factory faster than a drop that has to unload and go through a bunch of adepts and an immortal kill 2 assimilators.

how in the hell was he supposed to know if it was his entire army?

Well firstly, because he killed everything else and knows Polt can't rebuild it. But also because if Polt had 2 more full medivacs, he would be using them for something in the situation he was in. Either trying to snipe units, or defending his last remaining buildings. But Polt was only defending his buildings with 1 squad of units.

nah, you're wrong on this one. "He killed everything else" - that's just saying the same, how would he know if he had killed "everything else"? Besides, Polt defending the fac with his tiny force looked suspiciously close to him baiting the attack to go kill the unguarded assimilators.

How would he know? He won a huge army engagement in the middle of the map and then cleaned up the majority of what Polt had left in his main as well. He saw what units escaped. And the assimilators were never unguarded for a single moment, he could have sent out the 2nd voidray with nearly no risk.

If there was a double drop close to the assimilators, it would have gone in the moment Strange started fighting Polt's units with his stalkers.

you're assuming Strange kept it in mind throughout the endgame while hastily making other important decisions.

I'm just saying, he could have won against a hugely favored opponent right there by taking a risk as long as he stays somewhat on top of his defense. Instead, he remained very passive as to not lose right then and there. Which is fine, but he had to have been aware of the threat of a tie and a re-game because of the timer, which is effectively him throwing a game-winning position.

Granted, the in-game tie function shouldn't be active in tournaments, but this time both players played with it in mind so this once we have to live with it.

He is capable of barely winning against a seemingly way worse opponent, yet winning the whole thing against players who 3-0ed their way to the finals.
He is at his best when underestimated

classic untested feature. And not very clever programming.

It's even on the Liquipedia page so I doubt this is unintentional tbh. Certainly not untested.

Isn't it a 3 minute timer?

After 3 minutes of nothing happening, the 3 minute draw timer starts. So basically if burn damage counted Strange would have had another minute and 40 seconds.

Yeah rooting for drogo but his pvt is just painful, copying a Zest build would probably more effective even if you dont have his skill, rather than going robo bay 2 disruptors into archon chargelot into suicide at bunnys natural...

Game one Cham broke the rock in the desert map again a early attack from bly (I don't remember the name) and then kill him with roach and queen again Bly who went muta from behind.
Game two on Ulreana Bly also did an early attack that Cham defended and then he counter attack with like 13 Queen on 2 base with spine crawler to kill the natural (it was hilarious)
Game three I don't saw the start but it seems like Cham just did an early pool and kill him.
