If the game time has not reached 20 minutes, a rematch of the map will be held. ii. If the game time is past 20 minutes, the verdict will be decided using the in-game score, and the player whose score is 20% higher than the opponent will be declared victor, provided if: 1. There are no more resources remaining on the map. 2. Both players do not have the army count to finish each other. ii. If player scores are less than 20% apart, a draw will be called and a rematch will be held. The 20% rule is such a joker here, if they use a custom rule (to save schedule time) why leave that 0-20% gap that potentially will void the rule's most probable purpose? Kinda spooky to see tournaments using custom rules as fleeting and honestly poorly designed as this one x) Also that there are no clearly defined map definitions on airspace rules per map(pool) in 2019 is kinda silly. Every main base has a ramp but whether a map has float-able airspace immune to queens/stalkers/etc is just random. Nobody cares because draws happen so infrequently but almost every time they do it's a mess. Not saying every map has to be the same but SC2 still has a long way to go in terms of competitive definitions overall and trying to not just wing it every single time x) | ||

They just focus on the chinese audience and market and don't really care about the english viewership I think. | ||

Of the current pool, maybe Kairos doesn't (not sure), but all the others do. Also I don't see any value in standardizing that particular aspect of maps. | ||

Why don't just count ½ points to both players when draw situation occurs and extend the match as long as necessary? For example Bo3 series in 1½-1½ in situation would become automatically Bo4 (or even more maps if rare draw occurs), fourth map functioning as tie breaker. No unnecessary rematches needed. That 20% rule can potentially water down whole idea of the rule. | ||

The way computers value "points" isn't how humans would do it. I agree 100% Maru should not have conceded though, not sure if I made that clear previously | ||
