...it might cancel, it might give you the win, or it might crash. Link me if you find out.
Thanks jmo, here's what I found out from the five games that were left by my opponent:

1. One game was left with no votes cast, the game did *not* immediately end with me winning, but when the next phase processed I was declared the winner.
2. I voted cancel in one game after the opponent left, it immediately canceled.
3. Two games I voted cancel before the other person left, they both canceled once the other person left (without having to wait for another order resolution like in scenario #1).
4. I did not want to find out what would happen if I voted concede after the other player left, so I voted concede just before the other person officially "left" (after they used all three excused absences in a row).

Might have been an interesting experiment, maybe next time! ;-)

If I concede in 1v1 after my opponent has left, will the game simply cancel?

You don’t win immediately, another phase needs to go through first... I didn’t want the game canceled, but I was getting crushed so I didn’t want the win either, so I just conceded before he officially left since I don’t know the exact specifics of how it works...

Don't you win when your enemy is left?
