hummm best got destroyed first game. I don't think there is any chances for jaedong to lose any living protoss at the moment. It smells good for a Jaedong vs Flash round 2!!!

What's with Best getting no credit for his monster PvT? My odds plugin says Flash is better overall, 60/40, but once you start looking at TvP it's basically a coinflip.

Rooting for Flash, because I'd rather see Flash/Jaedong than Best/Jaedong, but I won't be surprised either way.

--oberon



Seriously, everyones looking over BeSt but like i already posted, I think he might win. His pvt is better than his pvz so he would lose to jd if they met but then again i do want to see that rematch between jd and flash. Maybe JD would bust out a wedge of cheese of his own Oo who knows.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

There is intended to be one, but the time of year means some of our staff writers are unavailable (one of them just had some surgery, too).

There's always at least one upset in every round (except with semi's/finals). I think that Hwasin will win just for upsets sake.

Both the OSL and the MSL are much more exciting than last year's.

Remember Best vs July?

That was when Best was amazing.

edit -- just saying I agree with you here, but it's always fun to mention Best vs July.
Remember Violet.

ELO probabilities of winning the MSL, taking into account the winner of game 1 of the Ro8:

(T)Flash 48%
(Z)Jaedong 31%
(P)Kal 12%
(Z)Kwanro 4%
(P)BeSt 2%
(T)Light 1%
(T)Hwasin 1%
(P)Stats 0% (obviously some chance, but it rounds down to 0)

how are those odds calculated? I'm rather surprised at how low Jaedong is... and how high flash is..

Dumb people don't know that they're dumb.

Flash's Elo vs Zerg is about 100 points higher than JD's Elo vs Terran, which puts Flash at a huge advantage if they meet, especially in a Bo5. However, Jaedong's chance of making it to the final is slightly higher.

The formula for getting a percentage from two Elo ratings is found here. From there I just use basic probability.

I'm glad to see that the finals isn't happening at the quarterfinals anymore. Setting up the brackets like that was a great idea. I hope we have an epic finals this time, the last two starleagues have been unexciting, to say the least.
