you didnt get it buddy so im giving these issues with the intelligence straight back to you.
So ein Vollidiot ehrlich. Keine Ahnung um was es geht und du laberst hier vom Weltkrieg. Ich glaube dir gehts im Kopf nicht gut.

On a series that goes to game five, the odds are:
1% to get 5 times the same race
12% to get 4 times the same race
37% to get 2 times the same race
and 50% to get 3 times the same race, which is unsurprisingly exactly what happened today.
So yeah by being very good at one matchup (ZvP) but sucky at another (PvP) it's basically a coinflip, and the coin actually came pretty close to turn into a triple-zerg victory so was TLO really that unlucky? No idea about how he would've fared with T though.
You have to divide that 50% into 3 though, if we assume he didnt want pvp and your math is correct.

Game 5 was over even if he had his left army on the right side (which was just a silly misclick by him not intentional). White-Ra had way too much there.

Salutations all,
Once upon an old time gamer here;
(never played Starcraft or much watched game commentary before.)
Loving the tournament. Great commentary; big heap reps to HD and Husky.
White-Ra vs TLO was plain awesome.
[?chance of a high level 2v2 tournament somehwhen?]

3 toss in a row....REALLY!?
|
So... it's been asked about 5x in last couple pages and no 1 has answered. Does anyone know when the next games will be played? The NoNy Vs idrA???

Whatever. Game 4 was just bad. TLO had all the information he needed that he was falling behind and kept being aggressive regardless. If you posted that replay on the forums without the player names, everyone would be talking about how the loser noobed it up.
Game 3 and 5 were puzzling to me. I didn't understand all the investments in blink, charge or hallucination. Meanwhile, WhiteRa got robo so he obviously had observers so it's confusing to me what TLO was hoping to accomplish.
Disappointing as far as I'm concerned. Let's hope Idra cleans house.

thats what you get for rolling the dice. a bit unluck yes but probability is a fickle SoB. in my opinion white-ra didnt really have an answer to TLO's zerg play and if it had been another ZvP, TLO probably would've taken it 3-0. playing as random has its advantages but i think TLO should now, for his own good, choose his main race and just stick with it. dont get me wrong, its always great to see diversity and creativity from TLO but it wont win him as many tournaments as he can if he sticks to his strongest race.
p.s i think if idra progresses to the finals (a good chance), he'll watch the first 2 games of this matchup and gain some knowledge on how to play white-ra.

quick edit: nvm my post, I remembered TLO offered to play Protoss again but HD dismissed it.
|
Well, since you edited, I will too
|
Edit: I'll edit my post as well then Automocc.
Can't wait until this weekend!
|
thanks for making my day HD and Husky! looking forward to Idra vs Nony.

We're starting to look a little schizophrenic here. lol
I wonder what race TLO will eventually choose to go. I have to be honest, I don't see why he considers Zerg his worst race. He has super solid Zerg play. I wish B.net profiles showed you a W/L for each race separately.

just wanted to settle the probability question once and for all:
the probability of getting a specific race x times out of 5 is:
binomial(5,x) * (1/3)^x * (2/3)^(5-x)
so to get it five times in a row is less than 1%, 4 times 4%, 3 times 16%
so the probability for TLO to end up as protoss 3 times or more in a game of 5 is the sum of these, sum(binomial(5,x) * (1/3)^x * (2/3)^(5-x), x = 3..5) which is 21%
so roughly it'll happen in every five games if you play as random
but of course, this takes no consideration of the probability of it being 3 times in a row, just 3 times in a game

Is there a time known for Idra vs. NonY?
