But even then, you could even have controversy: 1114's damage wasn't entirely inconsequential: as I understand it, the uprights were/are required to support their claw pre-match. In a 3-match series where that collision happened in the first one, 1114 could easily argue the damage required them to burn a timeout to fix it, and so a non-call on what they'd perceive as real damage would still be deciding the match in one way or another.
If it comes down to a judgement call, there'd still be people upset about the result.
