This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Wow, that’s an incredible record! I heard the game was interrupted for two hours because of the rain!

Log: Yeah, a two-hour and twenty-one-minute interruption is the longest since the introduction of the two-league system. It’s also pretty rare for a game to end in a tie.

Chako: Wait, what do you mean by a tie? Does that mean there was no winner?

Navi: A tie occurs when neither team is able to score victory points before the game ends. In this case, it’s believed that the game was declared a tie because of the rain interruption, which resulted in a cold game.

Log: So, the weather really had a significant impact on the game.

Admin’s Note

I was surprised by the rare record that was set in this match. The 2-hour and 21-minute delay was quite long for both the players and the fans, and it likely had different effects on the flow of the game. Given how seldom matches end in a draw, it’s evident how weather conditions can directly impact the outcome, highlighting the challenges of sports. As a fan, I’m definitely looking forward to the next match.
