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.


woOt?

50% to get 3 times the same race?

33% * 33% for get 3 times the same race

33% * 33% * 33% for get 3 times the same race as your opponent

am i right here?


He was calculating getting the same race 3 times out of 5, not 3 in a row.

::blinks::

I can't stand people who can't do math -.-'

The probability of randomly getting the same race three times in a row (given that there are three different races, all of the same 1/3 probability) is just 1/3 * 1/3, not 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3, because the first game's race is irrelevant. The second and third games have to match whatever the first game's race is, and that's all you need to worry about. If you were random and then talked about the probability of getting PROTOSS all three times (or any specific race), THEN it would be (1/3)^3.

Anyways, I'm really excited for the rest of the matches :-D

Lol some seriously bad math going on in this thread... people need to go back to school.

chance is 1/27 to get protoss 3 times in a row (after game 2)
1/9 (aka 3/27) to get the same race 3 times in a row (T, P or Z)

27 possibilities:
TTT ZTT PTT
TTZ ZTZ PTZ
TTP ZTP PTP
TZT ZZT PZT
TZZ ZZZ PZZ
TZP ZZP PZP
TPT ZPT PPT
TPZ ZPZ PPZ
TPP ZPP PPP



I hope whiteRa wins... that prize money is worth nearly 4 months wages in Ukraine

The probability of him getting any possible race combination is 1/27, which means there is a 100% chance that TLO was going to get a very rare race combination no matter what he got! Suddenly 1/27 doesn't seem so rare after all.

It's like saying man, TLO got zerg terran then protoss! Man there was only a 1 in 27 chance of that happening! Dang! =p

Wargizmo, White-Ra will win, don't worry these other players aren't even close to White-Ra's caliber. White-Ra is a protoss dragon.

There is a 100% probability of him getting the race he chooses. Think about those odds. If you pick a race there is a 1 in 1 chance you will get that race. If you pick it 3 times that is 3 in 3. With those odds how could you lose? You can't.

White-Ra has been underrated consistently for no good reason - he's incredibly solid. You can tell because he consistently wins in tournaments, and yet his opponent's losses are chalked up to flukes or luck.

That means he's holding it down just fine. I think he could take Idra in a BO7 because I could see Idra struggling to recover if he loses 2 in a row.

Anyone aware of where we can get the HDH replays? Specifically TLO v WhiteRa? I really want to analyze game 1. Badly.
I hope Plexa's sig is right.
