If the players go for 6 minutes without any of these, it's stalemate.
Generate income
Produce a unit
Construct a building
Research an upgrade
Destroy an enemy building

E: I think I see your point, in SC they usually play the game over again. But then there's no problem or UWC dispute

one time grubby was playing on stream where they had split frost and the zerg was behind static d with mass swarmhost corruptor viper and the zerg said that there was currently a bug where swarm hosts indefinitely delay the stalemate detection so they had to play the game out

That's interesting, if true I guess that means locusts spawning is treated by the game as creating new units? That's pretty silly if true but wouldn't be terribly surprising.

A broodlord army would also prevent a stalemate from occurring by attacking something. Swarm Hosts and Broodlords should not count as creating units IMO

Yeah this seems pretty silly. I guess it doesn't come up much since stalemates in pro games occur (relatively) rarely? I wonder if this also means that creating Changelings, Infested Terrans and Hallucinations also count as creating units for this purpose? What about PDDs and Auto Turrets? Anyway I'll stop posting on this since I don't want to hijack this awesome UWC thread.
