this is just not true. if you're DOWN any number of rounds you DO NOT want to stalemate cuz then you just fucking lose.
the only time you want to slow the game down (not even necessarily stalemate) when you are UP rounds (in my opinion) is when you are up 3+ rounds early in the match, or 2+ rounds late in the match. every single time i have played on a team and we go "hey we are up 1-2 rounds we can slow it down :)" we INSTANTLY get fucked by that false sense of security and get snowballed back to a tie game or worse. and when i say every time, i mean EVERY time. i honest to god cannot think of a situation in this game where you would want to stalemate other than if you're up like 4-1 with 5 minutes left in the match.

i know the purpose of your post is that "in theory it can happen", which is true, but when you get down to an actual in-game scenario i dont think any team should be content to "stalemate on their respective points and jerk off until the timer runs out so they can do it all over again."

what if it wasnt useless? what if he had info that won the round?

bringing it back the hockey analogy, a lot of tripping incidents are probably inconsequential to the final outcome of the game, but you cant just go around tripping people, because what if it WAS consequential to a goal being scored? to apply it to TF2 - what if he saw X class in some weird position to stop the push and comm'd it to his team, yeah his team still lost, but what if it DID change the outcome?

we seem to give RGL a lot of flack for "lack of consistency" when it comes to their punishments. but punishing someone sitting in spectate for wayyy too long is the only way to build that consistency. to not punish this incident would be an invitation to people to push the limits of how long they can sit in spectate (e.g. "hmmmm this guy sat in spec for 20 seconds and got away with it... surely i can sit in spec for 10 and get away with it too...")

yeah im sorry guys but that literally does not prove that you werent ghosting, ya gonna have to deal with it. it happens in every sport. if you trip a guy in hockey on accident its still a tripping penalty. if you shoot a sick 3 pointer swish in basketball a second after the shotclock runs out, the shot doesnt count and the other team gets the ball. if you sit in spectator for 23 seconds youre still sitting in spec for 23 seconds.

just the way the cookie crumbles boys
