If your tower is sitting at 300 hitpoints, and the opponent's tower is completely untouched at 3000 hitpoints, the logical part of your brain assumes the match is already over.

This article explores the psychology of the 'clutch', why giving up is the only guaranteed way to lose, and how to execute the ultimate underdog comeback.

This means completely abandoning your own defense, accepting that your tower will fall in a few seconds, and throwing absolutely every drop of elixir you have at the enemy King tower.

These base races often result in literal photo-finishes, where both towers are destroyed within milliseconds of each other, decided by the game's internal server tick-rate.
