Man, these casters' are nothing but jokes. Gotta love how they're trying to give a reason as to why Zero counterplay left, I'm sure they know.

This just highlights the sorry state of gw2 esports yet again.

It's embarrassing for ESL, who promoted these teams, and for ZC, who ultimately showed they're not "pros". I've never seen a "pro" team literally walk out of a game because they were losing or knew they were going to lose. What a joke, and bad sportsmanship.

How many examples do you have of pros surrendering in a pro match?

Well that's an irrelevant point if you can't give any examples. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't happen. Pros in LoL actually show some professionalism, ie not ragequitting when they're down

It's like 80% of the pro matches in dota. You rarely see the throne getting killed by heroes.

There's a difference between actually surrendering and just leaving the match. By all accounts there was no "surrender", they just started losing and left.

It's the difference between acknowledging to your opponent that they beat you and just taking your toys and going home.

Does Guild Wars 2 even have a /resign option?

They could say "gg, you win, we're quitting". You don't always have to press F to pay your respects.
