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.



Better analysis:

1. Kal wasn't eliminated in Offlines.
2. Jaedong absent.
3. Conclusion: Kal will win the Korean Air OSL.


except the last three games they faced, kal got 3-0'd, overall record is 1-5 against flash with the only win being DT rush when flash was in his "i dont need turrets" phase

Looks like Flash can expect a few phone calls from third-parties.

i really hope its effort vs flash finals so i can cheer super hard for an unlikely underdog story

i mean, i cheered for movie last osl but we all knew that wasn't happening, and there's something special about zvt


Agreed 100%

effort was known for zvt and then zvz i'm pretty sure. was never thought of as particularly good vp

edit: but his tlpd certainly looks pretty


lolwut?
have you seen him play versus Protoss?
He's been known for having at least the 3rd best ZvP for a while now, personally I'd say 2nd best with only Zero to challenge that spot.

Though I do remember that the very first game that I watched him and thought "damn he's gonna be so strong" was a ZvT and a few months after that he skyrocketed showing good ZvZs beating players like Jaedong, having like 67% winrate or something.
But ZvP was always his best matchup imo.
Right now he really needs to get his shit together and stop performing badly in ZvZ and ZvT.

Effort was like all the other great zergs in SC time first known for his epic ZvT, he used to be 15-1 or something like that in official games.

His ZvP was never bad, but beating Flash and losing to Bisu made me believe that Effort was better vT than vP.

Yeah really tip of the hat on such a fine algorithm.
Just hope its slightly less accurate for the final so that we can more than 3 games out of it ^^

Wag of the finger to all the haters....who Jalstar is naming and shaming one by one lol

I'd be interested to see you do one retrospectively for the MSL.

The problem is it would be too accurate, since the MSL games played would be included in their ELOs.
