Arrow over Titan is laughable.


Calculations based on previous results, ELO's, and all that fun stuff. Doesn't take into account some teams performing better/worse on LAN's etc.


I'm not even taking into account LANs. Arrow has looked really shaky in the last few weeks.


This reminds me of that time when everyone from EU kept telling me ForGG would beat Mvp because aligulac said it was 80% favorable for ForGG or some shit.


Well Mvp had a 20% chance of winning. Not necessarily that Aligulac was wrong.


But Aligulac was wrong.


Why was Aligulac wrong? Aligulac didn't say that Mvp can't win. It's all statistics and probability.


For rating EU/NA/SEA players equally to KR players and thus creating ELO farming situations making all cross regional predictions useless, but because of the general indolence of the populace, no one bothers to remember that and take it as an all knowing authority.

Blindly trusting a prediction that is based solely on former results and disregarding a lot of other factors like regional separation of players is just dumb.


You can't necessarily trust it, you have to look for sources of error. But just because the player with a 20% chance to win according to aligulac won, doesn't mean Aligulac was flawed.


I'd argue that prediction was flawed. It's like predicting KingKong would smash Stork because he's higher on the list as he has a better ELO than Stork.

So who's picking Liquid over MVP in the final? It's hard to judge from both of these series since it's been so one-sided, but both teams like pretty even right now.


just dropped like 1$ value on Liquid, MVP played like a shit and won. Liquid actually looks good.


To be honest MVP impressed me more because even if bad laning stage, they comeback through team fights which is very impressive.

CIS played that slow-shit trash 4p1 style that clueless nerds were praising as "perfect, disciplined play".

In reality, they were just another tier2 team that could not find themselves a real style. Well played by Liquid in taking out the representatives of an vastly overrated region.

This play-in was always gonna be hard to watch for me. Huge Black fan, but I badly want liquid to succeed and of course I'd love for a korean team to partake in the real tournament since I really do care about the improvement of the Korean scene. Glad that VP lost though, although even then the G/AA storylines are saddening.

Simulation for odds from: http://2p.com/7512627_1/The-International-4-Predictions-by-noxville.htm


Chance of each team being one of the “Top 10”:

DK 99.98%
iG 99.96%
Newbee 99.94%
EG 98.46%
Empire 91.67%
VG 83.99%
Alliance 79.87%
mousesports 77.62%
Arrow 57.34%
LGD 47.70%
Titan 42.75%
Fnatic 42.21%
C9 41.52%
Na'Vi 31.10%
Wildcard* 5.32%
Na'Vi.US 0.57%

That looks like a really really really awful monte carlo simulation. Weird since datdota does good work.


Honestly it looks quite good to me based on what we've seen. LGD is pretty low since they haven't been good for very long, Navi has been bad... What do you disagree with?

Only 1 mil iterations. Half of the teams have a 0.00% chance of winning in a monte carlo. 16 min runtime that was I/O bound. All of those are sketchy as hell. With monte carlo you want to run as long as you can that's reasonable. If it was a 16 min runtime I have no idea why they didn't run it way longer. Similarly, Empire > Alliance feels like their decay factor on ELO is either non-existant or really low. W/e, just stats, but I think they should've chosen a different simulation or run this one with different parameters/longer (see: the guy who ran he WCS simulation a season ago. Almost every one had a chance, no matter how small it was. That's more expected from a good simulation)


1 million iterations for a 16 man round robin is A LOT. You need more iterations when you have 10 tournaments to worry about.

And 0.00% seems reasonable for a team like Navi.US. I'd give 200/1 odds if someone wanted to be bet that Navi.US will win TI4.

It's not one team has a 0% win chance, half of the teams have a 0.00% chance. If that doesn't set off red flags for a monte carlo I don't know what will. Even with the unique bracket/pool system, that's absurd. Look at the world cup simulations, even the worse teams sometimes get 1/100 of a %, half would be simply a bad simulation. 1 mil is not a lot, it's ok. But when you have parameters that can change placings dramatically like ELO time window, ELO decay factor, and probably an arbitrary weight for all those things + head to head % you really need as many runs as you can get or just 1 mil runs with differing parameters to see which parameter favors which team. This feels like a lazy "we coded a simulation, here you go."
