We have experienced the desynchronization in the worms worst xd possible moment, in one of the last turns of the long T17 when the water was very high.
Summary of the critical moment at 32:50:
- mm had 1 worm, patsy and a homing pigeon.
- che had 2 worms, EQ and a homing pigeon.
- mm's worm was safe from EQ in the drill hide (I think).
- che's worm was going to kill mm's worm with pigeon, but unfortunately it turned out that they couldn't reach the edge of map. That's when the desync appeared.
- Having nothing else to do, they would probably have torched in order to open to the edge of map.
- In the next turn, mm would have killed the edge worm with patsy.
- The other worm would have not had any chance to kill mm's worm (unable to pigeon from the center of the map, mm was safe from the EQ)
- In the next turn of mm, we could have killed the last worm with a pigeon from the girder, but we needed a blue wind for that. Blue wind was unlikely, but you can't rule out that possibility.
Anyways I think you couldn't declare the clear winner at the moment of the drop.
