ToD, who had his win set in jeopardy.

If one of the players disconnects later than 3 minutes after the match has started, it will be counted as a default loss for the disconnecting player unless the player who did not disconnect is willing to offer a rematch.
- NGL Rules
Live stream is on from the important match between 4k^ToD and mouz.Happy. The map was Lost Temple, and ToD had a clear advantage. However, his clear win was set in jeopardy when his computer decided not to cooperate any longer.

According to the rules, Happy was allowed to take a win, since three minutes of the match have passed. However, As the clear advantage speaked for itself, Happy didn't even get the chance to replay the match, and the victory passed on to ToD despite his drop.

The problem was probably unpredictable, still this kind of things should not happen on live TV in an offline finals.
