No, it really should not. The 2 players can agree on a solution here. Replay, discard it or declare a winner. I've had some opponents disconnect or myself disconnecting. we've always replayed so far since it was fairly early T2 every time. If the 2 players can't come to an agreement the replay can be send in with the mention of who dropped so that a referee can make a decision: declare a winner or discard it.
This is still a ranking to find opponents of your own skill. No reason to abuse anything.
I don't think we have such assholes here? We aren't n8crawler you know :p
