Since liquibet gives out a 1:1 payout (someone please correct me if this isn't the case) in points for all predictions, we should not expect the liquibet % to generally correspond to well-calibrated probabilities (even if we assume the joy of being correct is enough incentive to bet seriously). So if the entire community believes that Bomber has EXACTLY a 60% chance of winning or something then we would expect 100% of liquibetors to pick Bomber, even if we only think that Bomber has a 60% probability of victory. | ||

I offered up some fruit and money to my Puzzle shrine so I think his holiness will bless all Protoss with an awesome way of stuffing the 1-1-1. Kind of like the way he did against asdfOu in the GSTL. | ||

I voted for HuK, even though there is a good chance that he will not win. But whenever I see a foreigner in GSL, it's an auto-vote. I can't help it, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this regard.  | ||

Yes. This. These 1:1 payout polls don't gauge the community's collective certainty of victory. All it gauges is the per-cent of the community that is more than 50% certain that Bomber will win the match. Which is apparently 96.5% of people in the community. 96.5 per-cent of people believing Bomber has a superior TvT to Keen isn't insane. Given that Bomber's amazing at capitalizing on mistakes, and Still, an interesting, unique write-up. I like it. TOTOs are really useful for judging to community's collective certainty. Well, the Korean community. Still, incomplete info is better than no info. Good job. | ||

Hahaha, so true. I still remember how shocked some people were at all the BFH usage in TvT especially at MLG when anyone watching GSL mech was nothing too new on TvT. | ||

With the new mech in TvT (which is 90% of what happens on the korean server, both players mech). I would expect MMA to win, whilst polt does deserve a good 30% chance, I still don't see it happening in a best of 3 | ||

Yeah people really don't understand these polls. It's not people think Nestea has a 70% chance of winning. It's 70% of people think Nestea has > 50% of winning. If people got to vote on Nestea's chances I would bet the majority of the votes would hover round 50-55%. | ||
