Ok so I played today on QS.

As you can see, I got matched with some guy 3 times in a row, and all 3 times he appeared to lag out. The first time, the drop screen came up, I ignored it, but before the timer ran out, it said he resigned and I won. However, according to stats, I had lost. The next 2 times, I pressed drop immediatly, and I "won". did he try to drop trick me? It certainly appeared so. And by the way, if I think I'm getting droptricked, should I wait til timer runs out, or press drop as fast as I can?
