PLEASE have some sort of balance in PotD? Introduce some sort of checkpoint system.

When there's physically available tournament admins around they can do stuff like that.

Technically, you can also resolve things like that automatically to a degree. Many PvP games simply have a "pause game" feature to deal with DCs, sometimes even automatic ones. It's a simple solution, especially in premades, where someone who's not DC'd can hit the pause button when they notice a DC. People aren't gaining any advantage from being frozen in time either, so intentionally DC'ing to save anything is out.

I'm willing to concede that I hadn't thought of that. Though there is one way they could gain an advantage from pausing time. Give them a chance to discuss and readjust their strategy. Since if I'm doing POTD Savage mode, chances are we're gonna be on voice comms to discuss things.
