SK has very low APM compared to other zergs! And still he plays very well !

Maybe his EAPM is equal to his APM !

SK better qualify now ! If somehow loses vs Rush and beast beats Barracks, he'll be playing a coinflip ZvZ. Remember action ??

Overall I can only recommend watching Beast vs Soulkey bo1, Soulkey vs Rush bo3, Beast vs Barracks game 2. Game 2 of Soulkey vs Rush was the only standout game imo.

barracks is slowly improving his rankings every ASL! questionable games but i think it's kind of funny.

Ro8 is gonna be great though! Should be good games in for the post-Flash era.

Long time no see teamliquid.

For anyone interested I created a spreadsheet compiling the win rates of each remaining player in RO8 against every other remaining player taken from sponbbang, filtered only for 2021 games, as well as a head to head tab for the remaining 4 matchups with their head to head stats. I also created a little probability table showing the chance player A wins the best of 5 given the odds of player A and player B winning a single game based on the sponbbang win rate.

ASL stats spreadsheet

Obviously don't click if you don't want the remaining 8 players spoiled.

Great work. Maps are big factor. Assuming first 4 matches will be on Ascension,Eclipse,Good Night,Largo a simulation would be interesting.

Yeah that's a pretty interesting spreadsheet, upvote to Midian. Don't think there's any clear favourite. Maybe SK and Light edge it, but ZvZ is meh. I didn't think Queen looked convincing, but then again that was a stacked group

Statistically ZerO is a very substantial favourite vs Soulkey, did you not look at the stats?! Soulkey is probably the best ZvT and ZvP player in the world at the moment, but really lacks in ZvZ. He has a pretty miserable record vs ZerO, soma and Larva in ZvZ in the past 2 years. Light is a very big favourite indeed, Mini is a sizeable favourite and Rush/soma is, on paper, the closest match and is near enough a coinflip.

Indeed maps do play a big part, but unfortunately if you go into sponbbang and start to filter for specific maps between two individual players you end up with miniscule sample sizes, even over the whole calendar year, so they become quite meaningless. You can check out race vs race statistics on each map and combine that info with the head to head stats to make some more educated guesses on who may win, but it is more work. Obviously maps play less of a factor in mirror matchups too.

What the spreadsheet wont tell you is that herO is, in my opinion, the best offline player of this RO8 group by far. In fact, hes the best under pressure period.

I like how you go from "in my opinion" to "In fact" haha.

I think hero is simply outmatched against too many of the opponents to be a serious threat to win the whole thing personally. He has the worst winrate out of the 8 on average when matched against the rest of the remaining players. I'll be very impressed and surprised if he can make it past Light, but I do anticipate good games and hero to maybe take 1 or 2 in the series.

The state are interesting. Going off of them + random guesswork, here is my predicted bracket.

Ro8:
Zero > Soulkey: </3, bad draw for SK

Mini > Sorry: not confident in this one. I thikn Sorry might even have straight up better play, but I think Mini can snag a couple crucial wins with early game shenanigans

Rush > Soma: stats say razor close here, but I trust Rush a bit more right now.

Light > Hero: light for the love of god please perform to your level as the best overall player on earth right now.

Ro4:

Mini > Queen: i think we get a repeat performance of last season. Mini's lately shown a bit more of his mid/late game pvz which are pretty decent. Mini also did well in the recent bo9 they had, and only gets better with build prep.

Rush > Light: I think Rush has genuinely better TvT

Finals:

Rush > Mini. I don't think clever build orders are going to cut it against rush who is a significantly better macro PvT player imo. I know the stats are slightly mini favored, but I think rush will be ready for minis zealots and reavers.

Overall: I think this was almost the optimal bracket for mini, who i feel is over-performing in this situation. If soulkey can beat Queen though, I think he wins the tournament (but I don't think he will beat queen :'( ). I think the tournament is also going to be decided by Light vs Rush. The winner there wins it all.

Cruel draw for SK. Out of all Zergs, his play is most refreshing and interesting (like Larva). Really hope he can pull through, but Zero is just a ZvZ monster.

Both barracks and beast looked so outclassed this group. It was kinda silly to watch. Not surprising to see Soulkey and Rush make it out. That Soulkey vs Rush game on Eclipse was fantastic. Hydra lurker played close to perfection.
