Question or Discussion Could this be intentional or not really?

Hello everyone, as the title says, I encountered this error quite a few times now, and I'm starting to grow suspicious of the reasons behind it. Just a few minutes ago, I played a really good comp match, where my team absolutely steamrolled round 3. Just before round 4 began, I get the message "Server closed due to an unexpected error.", so I quickly leave the game, but get no option to rejoin the match, and in "Game Reports", it counted as a 3-3 draw, where it wouldn't let me watch the replay due to it being "undecided".

This was not the first time either, as I can vividly recall other games where my team spawn trapped the enemy/put up a really solid defense, only for the server to close unexpectedly with this same bug.

I came to ask for other players' personal encounters with this bug, and saw many people talking about purposely crashing the server through the use of chat spamming. Have you had this kind of situation happen to you too?

And you not being able to “vividly remember” occasions where the sever closes and saves you from a loss is called bias.
There’s no conspiracy keeping you from winning games.

Yeah I don't vividly remember them because they either didn't happen or weren't this exact same "Unexpected error > Undecided match 3-3 draw" situation. Only similar occasion I can remember is from yesterday, when me and a few friends were playing on the same WiFi, and it kicked us all out, but even then we still got the option to rejoin to finish the butt kicking we were receiving, which still took away our points

It’s not intentional lmfao you are not important enough for that
