I remember a similar situation in a tournament on the Wargaming.net platform; I didn't give Cobra a technical win in his game against Papik. Back then, in Heroes 6, an extra zone was generated, and Artem had to navigate around strong guards on the only road. I understood that it was essentially unplayable, but it didn't qualify as a technical win. So, in this situation, I'm on Dirty's side. It was a correct decision from a judge's perspective.
