Polt is winning this tournament. After that kind of deus ex machina plot armor Polt is obviously the main character and everyone else is just there to make him look good.

Polt is clearly the hero in an anime.

See rules of the DRAW in the WCS

there cant be draw in 5th game

#STRANGE WON


that's 2015

this is 2016, someone else linked the relevant handbook

please stop


NO

#Strange WON
give me current rules about the draw like this
http://media.blizzard.com/wcs/wcs-player-handbook-v1.1.0.pdf

Each WCS Event may require players to comply with additional tournament-specific rules and
regulations. Such rules and regulations are incorporated by reference herein, and you agree as a
condition to participating in any WCS Event that you will read and adhere to any event-specific
WCS rules and regulations that may apply to you.

WCS Handbook this year. Meaning, Dreamhack's rule set counts. Meaning that Dreamhack's rule of:

If there is a natural stalemate the game will be replayed.

is law.


Well it was anything, but a natural stalement. It was literally the most exciting phase of the game.

The timer did not prevent a stalemate it prevented a win.

No, that's what a natural stalemate is, one decided by the game itself, not by players or admins. Granted, in this very specific circumstance, it was unfortunate, but it's within the rules everyone accepted to play under. Might need tweaking for the future though.


I think a stalemate refers to the ingame situation, not to a tie or a draw.

Agree on the rest that the right call was made and it just has to be changed for the future. I don't think the rules needs to be changed though, the timer just has to be removed from custom games.

Well, the mechanism in itself is called "Stalemate Detection", so I reckon that's what they mean. Because there's no other way to really define "natural" stalemate.


Yeah and that's exactly why the timer is flawed, it detected a stalmate where there wasn't one. In the future it has to be removed for tournaments and improved for the ladder, namely killing or damaging a unit has to reset the timer.

They should just implement that terran buildings lose hp after a certain amount of time while flying. I don't see why terran needs this draw mechanic in the first place.

Needs to be a while though. There's only limited space for production buildings on the map, and if you fly a building you don't need for making units but for making other buildings away, (e.g. you float a barracks when you're going mech) and then it dies after 2 minutes, that's inconvenient.

I guess Showtime counts as half french for this tournament since he is on Millenium? The crowd seems to like him at least.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yeah if you're on Millenium you're quasi-French. Like ForGG. A Korean living in Germany was thought of as a Frenchman.

Are there really any other situations where a draw can realistically happen? I don't think so, at least not on maps without islands

it's a good map for the cancer queen/ravager all-ins on the 3rd but SortOf didn't do 1 even on Ulrena

Theoretically there could be draws in any matchup on any map, but yeah, when no Terran is playing, it's extremely unrealistic.

There is sort of strange situation when you have only cannon or spine and the other guy don't have enough unit, or you have only phenix and kill all the other guy unit
