Not possible since TLO lost today. If nony loses to Idra then it would be TLO vs Nony in the 3rd place game and Idra vs White-ra in the finals.

Whats wrong with PVP finals? I'm rooting for Whitera but my money is on IdrA

WhiteRa V TLO
+ Show Spoiler +Ok ... I know WhiteRa is a beast, but i REALLY wanted TLO to win after watching his Ro8, he is truely amazing. He pulls crazy strats, is a solid player, and doesn't train as much as these guys ( i.e Idra ). I'm happy to see WhiteRa advancing, but very disapointed TLO got knocked out due to very unlucky randoms. I hope to see more of this guy, he is my favourite player hands down.

I'd love to see WhiteRa vs Idra in the finals

A random player shouldn't have "unlucky randoms". If he the said player does, don't random. I think TLO handles random fine, he just isn't going to go toe-to-toe with a player like White-Ra.

TLO had no chance in 3 straight PvP. I mean, he's pretty good with each race, but Whitera's PvP is just absurd.
On another note, anybody here fell that random is not that random in beta? At first, I would get Terran 60% of the time and now it seems to have moved to Protoss...

I though game 3 was pretty close, he could have defiantly won that one. Haven't seen the other two though.
Btw, as a general question, does people see WhiteRa as a boring player? I though he mixes it up pretty good and are often fun to watch. How many times have you seen someone win with archon as a central part of your army for instance?
|
Fun games today, and interesting. Both White-ra and TLO being their usual awesome selves, and having some pretty good games.
Can't wait for the rest of the matches, it should be pretty good.
|
Whitera isn't a boring player. Some of his games are similar, but when he goes DT/archons, you gotta give him credit!
|
the math people were doing was largely correct, you're all just calculating the odds for different situations. Some of you are calculating the chances he gets any race 3 times, some are calculating the chances of him getting the same race as his opponent 3 times in a row, some others are calculating the chances of him getting the same race 3/5 times.
You're all just confused because you're making calculations for totally different scenarios.

TLO: 1/3 terran, 1/3 zerg, 1/3 protoss, 1/3 awesome.
|
3/3 awesome! =D
+ Show Spoiler +6 queens on scrap station for the win -- so awesome
TLO`s awesome moments seem more and more to be coming from zerg. hrmz.

after I saw tlo's defense against cauthonluck in the g1 I wanted to have his babies.

+ Show Spoiler +So WhiteRa already secured 750$ ?. iirc they changed the pricepool to 1k$ thats already ~790€. Also he won the ESL Finals -> 500€ and some other money cups. If you take into account that the average income in Ukraine is ~200€ . He made loooooots of money :o

Second place is $1000

+ Show Spoiler +I've been wondering... didn't TLO dc during the 2nd map? What race was it again that he spawned as the first time O.o
|
I am catching up with the TLO vs. White-ra series with the VODS. I cant take this suspense. It is 2-2 and the last game isn't uploaded. I can't sleep until I see game five. This is awful.

So many fail people here. There are some people who got the numbers correct but did it a different way. A simple way of looking at it is this way.
There are 5 matches, for each match we will assign a box.
| 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | 4 | | 5 |
In each box there is a potential of 3 races, Z P T. Therefore there is a total of
| 3 | | 3 | | 3 | | 3 | | 3 |
or 3^5 combinations. Which is a total of 243.
Within these combinations there are 9 in which a race ends up 3 times in a row at the end of the 5 matchups!!! If its 3 in a row throughout 5 matchups there will be 9*2 more odds as the 3 in a row can be in the middle of the two other races or at the beginning!
| Z | | Z | | T | | T | | T | | Z | | P | | T | | T | | T | | P | | P | | T | | T | | T | | Z | | Z | | P | | P | | P | | Z | | T | | P | | P | | P | | T | | T | | P | | P | | P | | P | | P | | Z | | Z | | Z | | P | | T | | Z | | Z | | Z | | T | | T | | Z | | Z | | Z |
therefor there are 9/243 possibilities of running into 3 of the same race in a row at the end of the match or 1/27 or 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3
Or if you only want to look at the chances of 3 protoss in a row at the end of the match 3/243 or 1/81 or 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3
Of course there are more situations at hand such as 3 protoss in 5 matchups but not in a row, and 3 in a row in different locations. But the statistics of getting 2 races and then 3 protoss in a row at the end of the 5 matchups yields a funny number. 1.234567890repeating %
