Is WESG some sort money laundering business? Huge prize pools with hardly any viewers in comparison to other tournaments. Just doesn't seem like a business model that would work.

I just read the WESG rules and it is clear that Scarlett would be the winner if Maru floated buildings into the corner (if the score difference actually was 20%):

Draw scenarios:

A draw occurs when both players cannot eliminate each other.
i. 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)

No matter what, any "rules" imposed over the win conditions hard coded in the game are BS.

Not sure what impact that rule would have had if it had been a tie. For all we know Maru was ahead in points, so there still wasn't any reason to leave the game.
