Dear TLO,
I hope you get something other than Protoss in your RANDOM games for the rest of the tournament (unless you want Protoss).
Dear Blizzard,
please fix the random selection so we dont see someone only get Protoss all through a tournament. There is nothing wrong with the random selection.. You surely realize that PPPPPP is just as likely as TPZTZP or TZTZTZ or any other order. No, it isn't. You are very wrong with this. I'm sorry but you're wrong. pppppp = 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 tptztz = 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 any other combination = 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 maybe you're thinking of P('6 times protoss') and P('6 times no protoss') which are indeed different.
Obviously that is what he meant...
It wouldn't make sense to discuss differently. Nobody would care if it's PZTPZT or PZTPZZ (or whatever) just that it isn't PPPPPP.

In other news, White-Ra playing so well right now.

Ye, I worded it really in a confusing way.. Konni's post is correct.

2 times protoss aout of three:
1/3 * 1/3 * 2/3
1 times protoss out of three:
1/3 * 2/3 * 2/3

lol, learn some math.. Of course its more likely to get TZTZTP then PPPPPP.. :D
Take a course on probability and you would learn about probability on series of independent events and thus know that given three outcomes with equal chance, p, then any series of length k will have probability p^k to happen, ie. the outcome "TZTZTP" IS equally as likely as "PPPPPP".
What you are perhaps confusing it with is another thing entirely: "In 5 games in a row, is it as l ikely to get 5 P as it is to get at least 1 non P?" which the answer to is of course no.
edit: t_t somewhat beaten to it.

Just saying that saying
"OMG, PPPPPP, Blizz fix random"
and
"OMG, TZPZTP, Blizz fix random"
would be equally stupid

Guys, I get enough of math in my statistics course, can we please talk about how awesome White Ra is? 
|
I don't understand how White-Ra manages to almost every PvT!
Feels so difficult for me ^^... White-Ra too good~

You are right I worded it wrong, I meant something else - reread few posts above.. Anyway, well played White-ra, Sjow..

You surely realize that PPPPPP is just as likely as TPZTZP or TZTZTZ or any other order. No, it isn't. You are very wrong with this. Lol, to paraphrase someone  How is it that people can say things with such conviction and still be totally wrong. Just so you know, getting P is 1/3. Getting PP is 1/3*1/3 = 1/9. Getting T is 1/3, getting Z is 1/3 ergo getting TZ is 1/3*1/3 = 1/9. Hopefully now you can see how PPPPPP has the same probability as TZTZTZ.
The question isnt "getting order TZTZTZT" but rather "PPPPPP" or anything other than Protoss in any of these six matches. The likelyhood of getting T or Z in any of these is much bigger than a simple row of Protoss games. Sure every specific combination exists only once, but the point is getting NOT this PPPPPP row and that chance is much bigger.
