A simple option for mirror match templates: make the Overkill Halt (OH) trigger after one of the players breaks through to the opponent's plane.
Regarding the main topic: I believe that the current OH logic required a replay of the blue player's last turn, but Zee should have requested this immediately (it seems from the stream that he immediately understood what happened and could have not waited for the outcomes of all the battles). But by then, after the red player had already moved and won 3 battles against the blue player, the opportunity had passed. You formally agreed with what was happening as soon as you started moving in the first combat encounter.
