I can understand not awarding a tech-win if both players are at fault, for example, if they couldn't agree on something. But this is a different situation. It is explicitly stated that a player does not receive 1 point for voluntarily forfeiting a match. No one should care how the match was played – whether someone forfeits on the first turn, the second turn, or decides not to generate a map and just enters a report in the header, or any other way... It's the same as if Kasparov, in a chess match, needed to avoid losing the final game, and because he's afraid of losing, he says, "I forfeit," and the judge records both scores as zero, which is what Kasparov wanted. Here's how three friends can prevent two world champions from advancing from the group stage under any circumstances.
