One for all and all for one - 3

It's a bit funny, but I'll remind Dirty that "mini-nostalgia" is a template of size L! I remember clearly that the rules state that if there is a prolonged unwillingness to hold a Free Battle (FB), the judges appoint an FB that is held on neutral ground. Although the versions of the rules change, and this point is no longer there.

If the opponent has full control, and you don't, and the map isn't fully explored, then you are completely wrong. If, as you say, the "daddies" just went for an FB in such situations, then, for example, Cobra wouldn't have won anything at all ;) The so-called "appointment of an FB" applies exclusively to offline tournaments, where real time is running out. And online, slowly grinding in the late game, thanks to better control, is a normal situation.
