In the SKY Proleague match between KTF MagicNs and CJ Entus on the 5th of November, we got to see a tie for the fifth time in the progaming history. It was in the fourth game where Reach played Much (picture) in a Protoss mirror match at the map Blitz. After 50 minutes of turtling and usage of High Templars, Arbiters, Dark Archons and massive fields with cannons on both sides, Reach wrote "pp" (pause please) and had a long discussion with the KeSPA officials. Neither of the players had fighting units to defeat their opponent. The game was obviously going nowhere, so a tie was called for. The KeSPA officials and Much agreed to Reach's request and the match was a tie.
But the show must go on, as the score was still 2-1 for KTF. So the match was to be replayed, and while KTF sent out Reach again, CJ brought up Savior. The match ended in a win for Savior, and then in the last match Xellos defeated Yellow, bringing home the victory for CJ Entus.

You don't see it happen that often - a tie in the StarCraft progaming scene. Though in a recent game between Reach and Much in the Proleague the KeSPA officials agreed to Reach's request of making the match a draw.
