I don’t think he is. All surprise wins/losses in HotS have a cause, it’s not like the game randomly starts destroying a team’s buildings.

“Then this happened”

To be fair, the last video you linked with ‘then this happened’ well I can tell you what happened, your team didn’t notice the team objective to the top of the map and that’s what cost you the game.
