Warsong Gulch time limit makes alliance win

[stomposaurus 0]

Hi, I played Warsong Gulch on my lvl 38 tauren druid, there were not enough players so we ended up with 1 flag capped for horde, 0 for alliance and horde had the flag (I had the flag, it was going to be a 2nd capture).  The game ended in 5 minutes, since it was 3 horde vs 2 alliance, neither sides had enough.  When the game ended, alliance had won and I received 1 warsong gulch token

Why did the alliance win?

The next match, I played 3 alliance, 4 horde, capped 1 flag, and won.

Does it matter how much flags you capture before the game ends?

Think it depends on which team has the most deaths.

If there is not enough players (aka Game closing in 5 mins) the team with most players at the end of game will win.

Yes it is totally retarded, but that its just the way some things were in Vanilla.

@MagicGG, it was 2 alliance vs 3 horde, I'm not sure more players is how it works, but perhaps more kills.  Still, I think horde had more kills that game...

My understanding is that whichever side is first responsible for not enough players being in the game will lose.
