Now that GSL Jan 2011 is almost over, I did a quick review comparing the predictions from the "A New Year" preview to the actual results of the tourney, which is kind of interesting.
****** GSL4 up-and-down matches and Ro32 spoiler warning *****************
UPDATED with the final up/down match results:

(Colors are indication of prediction accuracy, not race. Green means a correct prediction, blue means incorrect by one step, red means a doubly-wrong prediction. No color means the up-and-down match hasn't yet taken place.)
So the big upsets are the ones in red: Maka and Rain drop to Code A while TheBest and Hyperdub advance. What do you think? Is that a fluke? Are Hyberdub and TheBest gonna maintain Code S after next season, too? Will Rain and Maka make it back to Code S? Is True Redemption the most gosu GSL predictor, or did he just get lucky and pick the easy groups?

gotta say, this guy is pretty good at predicting results. Though TSL_Rain's drop to code A is not an upset.
|
Yeah the predicitions overall were quite good heh
|
Hard to believe Rain dropped to A even though I agree he's not the best at all. >_>
Great predictions though.
|
Maka's drop was an upset. I find that Hyperdub and TheBest are currently underrated right now, they seem to have alot of potential.

Frankly, I find it a lot harder to believe that the OP actually picked Rain to advance. The rest of the predictions are pretty impressive though.
|
Wow, I was never too impressed with him, but now I am.
|
it's really not THAT impressive. Compare him to IMmvp, for example, who is 126th, but has a beastly win percentage, 1010 games, 608 wins.
|
Well the four TBD players we know for sure that at least 2 of them will be code s. that is another 2 wrong.
|
That color is supposed to be green? Wtf? I see like...brown...
Anyway, pretty good predictions.
|
Hyperdub is a solid and underrated player. He was up against all sorts of odds, like boxer's insane macro game with him and losing to sneaky expansions from MVP and Choya in the Ro16. I don't think he'll be knocked down to Code A, not with the less than stellar play from Code A players.

Anyone cheering for SanZenith tomorrow?

Rain was really good season 3, he had to beat a lot of good people. He got a bad rep for cheesing nestea out but showed good standard games the rest of the time... IMO him dropping is a bit of a shock.

Can't wait for SadZenith. He's the man, he's sooo good at losing... it's inspirational. :D

Nonsense. Rain placed second in GSL 3, and the predictions were made coming right off that. It would pretty stupid to predict the second place finisher would drop to Code A immediately.

Updated the OP with the final up/down match results. I should probably also clarify that the predictions were not made by 1 person. Seems the TL writing staff split up and claimed different groups. Their scorecards:
Xxio (Groups A-C): 5/12 correct, 4/12 slightly off, 3/12 upsets
Treehugger (Groups D-E): 3/8 correct, 3/8 slightly off, 2/8 upsets
TrueRedemption (Groups F-H): 10/12 correct, 2/12 slightly off, no upsets.
So there we have it.
