What do you mean you don't see the arguments "for"? This technical issue contradicts logic, and that's exactly why the Appeals Committee was created – to address situations not covered by the rules and make decisions based on logic.
In general, in such cases, a technical draw should simply be declared when a bugged path without a Gate of the Abyss leading to the center is discovered, because it completely breaks the game!
Additional rules for transitions between zones:
- In order to exit your zone and enter the central treasure (zone 5), as well as to pass from the central treasure to other zones, it is necessary to break through the corresponding Gate of the Abyss. Using bugged passages between the central treasure and a specific zone is prohibited until the Gate of the Abyss between these zones is broken.
In the end, the mine was visible; he could have figured it out.
P.S. Yes, in essence and in the spirit of the game, there was no violation – any Gate of the Abyss was destroyed by a 20th-level Lo-in with 90 mana, Expert Prayer, and Animate, practically without losses!
But according to the rules of the game, there was a violation, and a technical draw is the penalty for that.
I myself am in favor of changing such rules, but for now, we play by the rules we have
