How can you not think it's surprising that the weaker player was favoured 6 to 1 just because he spoke a bunch of English in an interview? | ||

What I'm saying is that I know people like to vote with their hearts sometimes and not their mind, but 6 to 1 for this matchup is just insane. It was pretty apparent going into this match from a pure skill standpoint it was going to be a toss-up, and due to this I figured it would more likely be like 2 or 3 to 1 in favor of MJY. I guess I underestimated the extreme level of fanboyism here. From now on I may just auto-vote against sAviOr in future Liquibets because the reward for voting for his opponent is usually so much higher than the risk of sAviOr winning. And yeah, I'm a CJ fan and not necessarily a sAviOr fanboy, whodathunkit? | ||

And yeah, I'm a CJ fan and not necessarily a sAviOr fanboy, whodathunkit? Yea I know 6 to 1 is really FAR because I expected ZerO to win. I voted Savior though simply because I came into the season too late to matter and I simply vote who I WANT to win, not who I believe will. However if you compare the amount of fanboys Savior has to ZerO's and then the smart bets, a 6 to 1 ratio is not surprising at all. People bet with their hearts quite often, especially in the middle of the season when some can't catch up anymore. | ||

Sadly, you can't deny it :\ I'm a sAviOr fan too but I know there's a snowball's chance in Hades of sAviOr dominating the field again | ||

yea just expected. Would have been more exciting to see Savior in the next round even though I think Zero is a much better player these days and the games themselves would probably be better. | ||

What's more, I don't think Zero has much chance of taking Leta or Luxury. Even though Leta's hype has been exposed as premature, zero is still a 41% ZvT'er. Yikes. ZvZ is the kid's forte, but Luxury has better stats, more games, and a 3-1 head to head record. | ||
