yeah really horrible rule, if you cant win and feel bad about it, no one should deny you the possibility to let all other people involved, feel the same thing !

When you run an event that has a schedule and people can screw it up massively, then get back to the rest of us.
It's a rule designed to have an event which finishes. Think about everyone else other than the one player deliberately trying to cause stalemates. It's an event which has a set time in which it needs to be completed. Therefore they need to prevent crap like multiple 2 hour games destroying the schedule.
HOLY CHECK!

Ever heard the saying "Don't hate the player, hate the game"?

It is very true in this instance. It isn't the players fault he can delay, it is the games fault. There shouldn't be strategies in the game, available to the player that reward that. Swarm Hosts never should have been released in the state they are in. They were meant to give Zerg the ability to finish opponents in the mid game according to Blizzard...

tahts not what op says :
he was deliberately trying to cause a stalemate both games, he could never win game 1 or game 2 but i was still mining and trying my best to stop him from doing this but nothing worked, he had a chance the first game and it was a rematch but he did the same game 2 i think it was fair what they did.

I'd have to agree with the call made by the organizers.
Yes ok, as a competitor miniraiser should have done all he can not to lose, but what he did was just unsportsmanship like conduct.

I remember SlayerS_BoxeR playing for a stalemate at that one MLG against Rain in like 2011 or something. Everyone was so excited when the casters realized what he was doing. "OHHHHH Boxer u so smart!" But I guess playing for a swarm host stalemate isn't as exciting.

And he didn't do it twice in a row, having been given one regame already and take a total of 3+ hours. So uh yeah it doesn;t sound like it was exciting.

This just in: Swarm Host turtling with 200 spores and vipers is much more stupid than an attempt at a draw TvT! Who knew??
I mean how does Terran even try to force a draw against Terran right from the start of the game??
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where, when facing a SlayerS terran, completing a hatchery would cause a medivac and 8 marines to randomly spawn nearby and attack it.

You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

No, this is the old Terran Rain, not the Kespa one. Note the year: 2011, before Kespa joined SC2.

People don't even know the game that's being refered to what's the point.
