Dare I point out that, uh, fascinating as those statistics are, none of the differences in win/loss rate are actually statistically significant? Like, in terms of explaining why the win rate is higher after you've won one or two games and lower after you've won 3... random chance is as good an explanation as any. In reality, there probably is some level of fatigue and quality of opponent dynamics in play... but I'd be careful about reading too much into a relatively small sample size.

Cool write up

"Unfortunately for him, he was probably too focused on the ceremony he was going to perform after winning, pissing his advantage away, and letting the game slip between his fingers."

LOOL agreed :D

FBH is like an entertainer who happens to play SC for fun.

It was pretty cool watching him take down 2 great protoss players though. I would never in a million years think that he would have anything on someone like Bisu. FBH's TvP just isn't very good.

Thanks for this. I can imagine it would have required a fair amount of effort. Nice read. Cheers.

To be fair though, the position Flash was in during game 3 of the MSL finals and that final set of OZ vs KT were vastly different. Flash was in a far better position this time around.

you lost at least half a point for even mentioning the msl finals. i'd edit it out.

good job though, fun read
thanks

Can't agree more on this..

Except I'd say 4/5, 5/5 if you hadn't mentioned the MSL finals at all..

A brilliant article as ever, as I have come to expect, may I suggest that the next article be called "a view to an all-kill", because James Bond references are corny and marvellous.

When both players are on their first game, half of them win and half of them lose (mind blowing).

Mind blown indeed

I LOVE FirebatHero, he's one of my favorite Terran players, i like his agressive style cuz i really HATE when Terran camps all day long.

And the Guemchi vs Movie was one delicious match, i was impressed with Guemchi performance, hope to see him more often.

what about nerves? it seems like the pressure of getting that 4th kill would be greater than the 3rd. Maybe some players just crack under that pressure.

Anyway, good read
