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. ~A mathematician Anyways, I'm really excited for the rest of the matches :-D | ||

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita | ||

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. | ||
