Bisu has never made it to an OSL final.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

isnt is because elo takes into account streaks?


No. It's because your ELO is compared to those you play, and Flash probably played those who are strong vs T but aren't as strong overall, so he took less of a hit in losses / gained more in wins in his respective matchups than he did overall.

Also Bisu completely shitted himself incredibly early in both leagues to the point where his Elo was hardly affected. It's probably the most misleading elo #1 ever. (when was the last time the #1 Elo player wasn't even a factor in both tournaments?)

I think that's the point, your elo is determined by the games you play, bombing out of both leagues early means your elo will remain stagnant cause only pro league games would count, so that is like 3 games every two weeks. So its not really a true #1 elo

He didn't get past the group stages in the last MSL either.

Flash kicked him out btw. Oh, and he won the whole thing.

I don't understand how you can be this silly, go and look at the results and standings of the current osl

This is a good thing, not a bad thing. ELO is unbiased, so we get true picture of players competitive abilities, not the subjective opinion people themselves tend to form due to weighing of matches.
Aah thats the stuff..

The only reason we don't count preliminaries is because players play so many matches in such a short time and it would inflate Elo. There's absolutely no other reason considering they are legitimate games against legitimate opponents to proceed in the most important tournament -- there is nothing subjective about this, you must pass prelims to get to the ro16 where the matches count, why don't the prelims count when everyone involved is there legitimately? Bisu is clearly not the #1 player which is the first time I can say that about the Elo #1 -- partly because no #1 elo player has ever lost in prelims before, typically they perform to a higher standard.

I could be wrong but I believe the reason why the preliminary matches don't have an effect on ELO is because Kespa doesn't count prelims towards a player's official record. I remember this was the reasoning used when some of the games from GOM were removed from being weighted towards ELO.

Okay I found it. Here it is in Hot Bid's spoiler: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=90559

Savior? He lost in 4 OSL prelims in a row, not sure how the ELO ranks was back then, but I am pretty sure he was #1 when he dropped out of at least one of those prelims.

Also Jaedong in the Incruit OSL prelims. Not sure if he was #1, but he was up there.

Yes, and now tell me how well Savior did in the MSL in every one of those seasons and compare it to Bisu for the past year. Bisu's failures are twofold to an extent that no other #1 elo player has been (Elo on TL was implemented after Savior's dominance, I believe, but he most probably would've been #1, too), and that's where my argument lies.

There's an abundance of players who had #1 elo while only doing well in one league, the only time I can think of someone being disappointing in both and still being #1 was Flash last season, and that was because he was previously the all time leader by an unbelievable margin, and he atleast took hits to his elo for both loses. Bisu's Elo is misleading, period.
