Well, if the timer does run out, whoever is holding the middle point will win. Stalemates will technically be nonexistant.
When it comes to stalematey gameplay however, i'm hoing that the mid point will encourage mobility. The team that caps the mid point will have to move up to it to defend properly, and the other team has to claim said point before they can advance at all.
Basically, i hope that the mid point will remove the feeling that your final point can be capped at any time, which is what usually makes a team too paranoid to push forward.
