Life is really damn good and the favorite, but c'mon he's not THAT favored. No mention of Squirtle, Hyun, Taeja, or Violet and then the someone else option? JD alone I think would have a fairly good shot at knocking Life out if they meet in the ro8+, it's not like it's just Life and a bunch of foreigners. Personally, I think Squirtle has got it in him to win it all. He's been in Europe for awhile now iirc, so he shouldn't be jetlagged either. | ||

Even if somebody is the best player in the world, you just can't be sure that they will win because they have not reached a level that they are the best in the world by so much that you can rely on it. Even now, ST_Life is for sure not the best player in the world, and he does not have that much skill more than the contestants already there, korean or not. | ||

Also picking life over EVERY OTHER PLAYER (including some koreans), seems like a crazy pick. | ||

Life was consistent enough not to lose a Bo3+ in ZvT for almost a year. "The game is too volatile" is an excuse commonly used when people's favorite players lose, but don't fool yourself - Life is heavily favored against every single player in this tournament. Will he drop a few maps? Probably, but that happens in every game and every comparable sport. | ||

The "game is too volatile" can either be an excuse or an explanation for why somebody lost, depending on what happens. Of course he's favored, but that doesn't mean that he's infallible. I'm honestly offended that you would suggest something so audacious as fact. It's quite cocky, really. | ||

Life has won the past two MLG's, he's good at these kinds of tournaments. | ||

Considering he's being measure against everyone else, distribute the 50% that isn't life through all the other players and that's a pretty huge difference. Of course it doesn't work that way anyway >.< | ||

That being said, he still has to win 10 series to become the champion, and even if we imagined that he had like some crazy 85 % chance on average of beating every player there that would stil only amount to roughly 20 % of becoming the champion =) In this case he would actually need an average chance of beating his opponent of 93,3 % just to have a 50 % chance of becoming the champion | ||

p.s. A poll that's 50/50 in votes is always a great poll, because it proves itself to not have an easy/obvious answer, thus was worthy of being asked. | ||

After almost 5k votes its still 50/50 which makes it a really good poll since opinions are evenly spread over all (both) answers :D If Innovation would be attending it'd probably be like this: -Innovation 70% -Anyone else 30% | ||
