Oebta Overstay 

An event taking place at, what could be, near the end of a league of legend game. The famous (and greatest) german gaming community OEBTA tends to find godless, illegally disgusting ways to throw games, after pushing an inhibitor. Easily swinging 5 to 10k gold leads, making a won game excitingly close again.

This is, most of the time, not a play by play mistake, it usually gets called minutes ahead of time. A mix of pure greed, unchecked egos and by now the running gag of it all, mind controlles them again and again into overstaying.
After taking baron with enemies on a 25s death timer without taking a reset, running towards toplane inhibitor:
"careful this feels like an OEBTA Overstay"
