Lol.

Stove > ForGG. Never forget.

Series, ForGG . Arena MSL ForGG is back, going to win this OSL. lol. At this point I wouldn't mind him taking the title from Flash... even though that's pretty much impossible :X.

forgg is famous for his timing attacks, not his macro. is macro is definitely not sub-par, but his timing is often perfect to the second.

ForGG used to be pretty famous for his macro, but it doesn't matter if he can't position his tank correctly in PvT.

Effort's OSL run is going to be less impressive than by.(Z)hero's, (Z)type-b's, or (Z)Shine's.

Who cares whether Effort, Kal or Zero will make it to the finals when Flash will definitely win this OSL?

Much simpler analysis for OSL imo:

1. Flash: YES
2. Jaedong: NO
3. Conclusion: Flash to win the Korea Air OSL.

interesting analysis, unfortunately ELO isn't a good measure of recent trends for each player. For example, I would put zero a 60 to 40 favorite over effort right now, not the other way around. Interestingly enough though I would say that effort would have a better shot of beating kal than zero. Either way I anticipate zero or kal being in the finals.

Also -- are these brackets confirmed or are you just speculating?


It's confirmed. 3 mirror matches in the Ro8 which is kind of unfortunate, but oh well.

When it's Kal vs. Zero I'll be sad and I won't know who to cheer for T_T

As for unbiased analysis: it just means that it's a flawed methodology. You guys should actually watch Kal's PvZ games. Effort's ZvP wins have all looked ugly as hell, whereas Kal loses in close games or wins in dominating fashion. Beyond the occasional terribly executed 2-gate =P


EffOrt vs Stork, Proleague Playoffs, Khan vs CJ super ace match.


so we're allowed to cite games almost a year old?

honestly the best indicator of a potential effort vs kal series is their WL game where Kal was tearing shit up a long time but then blew it in the last 5 minutes.

Effort plays a strong defensive style but I think he's way too predictable and will lose to Kal in a Bo5. But really i'm going to pick Zero over Effort in the Ro8.


High pressure games, in a specific match-up, against good opponents don't happen everyday.

zero is better than effort at every matchup and everyone else is better vZ than effort is against their race

guys, please don't get too heated up / flamed over this topic. OP did a fantastic job with analysis given what data he had about ELO (using Kespa rankings would be epic fail), and it was really interesting to read.

The fact is that, as pro SCBW fans, we want to make guesses, we want to speculate who will win, etc., and we gotta use what we have. The OP here simply decided to use the statistics from the better ranking system (ELO vs Kespa) to try and determine that end. It sure is better than all the fanboys screaming fake facts and starting fights over false data.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

The real question about (T)BaBy is how he'll deal with the pressure of later stages of a starleague. He's been quite impressive nerve-wise so far, though.
