Instead of just downvoting me let’s have a discussion Jesus Christ this sub is so toxic.

If you watch the fight they both were in the arena mid fight when he was being healed. One of them rendered their character off as discussed in other posts. There were two accounts in that arena. So are they saying he was already outside of the arena when manked was getting healed? Or are they saying after manked was healed and then almost died AGAIN, that’s when fweeze apparently stepped out? Sketchy shit was going on for a while during that fight.

If you haven’t noticed they are in damage control mode. They can’t even do a successful dmm so yes I am going to question every damn thing

I don't want to be brought into too much of this discussion but to answer your questions, the way it happened makes sense when you see the underlying code.

It's inefficient to check every tick "Is there still 2 people in this arena?" So instead it's checked every several seconds. It's entirely possible that Manked at one point was also out of the arena but then ran back in before the check for "Is this arena ready to progress" took place.

Graphically, the arena was 10x10 but the actual area within that arena defined as the "arena" was 8x8. As such, one of the opponents (not Manked in this scenario) was outside of the specified arena when the check for "Is there still 2 people in this arena?" went off resulting in the code which usually runs when this is the case took over (I.E - the code which reheals the winner).

I hope this answered your questions.

So I find this a bit strange that 'suddenly' this tournament insta-killed players teleported to 1v1s, what changed to make this happen as it didn't happen previously?!

Secondly, why did the game think in the semi-final that the area was smaller and the opponent won when it didn't happen in the rest of the 1v1 areas TO OUR KNOWLEDGE (who knows anymore - as we don't see all fights) or in previous tournaments? You would think these areas are duplicated and thus would be the same as the other areas?

Has there been a fundamental redesign of the 1v1 areas since last tournaments or has someone intentionally been rigging with it?

The arenas are redesigned with each tournament to fit the current seasonal theming - whilst fundamentally they're 1v1 arenas, they're brand new.
