those are what you call “game over” dices.  :-(

Yeah, I’m kinda happy that I decided to at least take a break from the game, if not even quitting it.

On a side note: I think a tournament, especially a tourney with price money, should have rerolls or at least a best of 3, to negate such moments. This is round 1, nobody has done anything unusual so far, no big tactics or moves that deserve a win and still this game could very well have been decided
