Not having information would obviously hinder anyone's analysis, and this was not exception. Again it doesn't matter that it hindered their analysis, they are just sharing their opinions. Im sure most people watch sotg just because its funny as hell and like to listen to their input. If you want to know whos good or what not, there are plenty of good ressources on TL, you could check TLPD for stats and theres also a tournament roundup every month in TL news. | ||

Even vs Voids (12-21 ??) would go to 8-17 (math could be off). Vs Carriers... 5 - 1 - 3 = 1... so would be just one hit per interceptor strike if my math is right. Vs Colossi... 15 - 1 - 3 = 10 (and that's probably with no splash).... Only counter to upgraded Thors would really be more immortals than you have strike cannon rounds or just a huge number of stalkers. | ||

You guys see things like - He was a BW legend - He was/is in korea - He won xyz tourney (not seeing HOW and vs WHOM they did) Over the actual games they played - how their playstyles are in the exact matchups etc. this is why HuK vs HasuObs was a clear 50/50 match to me for example - and i was pretty sure hasuobs should take out Boxer as well. But i also know, that the final will most likely be Kas vs Naniwa. Look, I agree with your analysis of the players, and I meant to communicate this already. I thought it was 50/50 (maybe slightly in Hasu's favour), and despite being a reasonably big HuK fan it was very hard for me to push the "Vote" button on the Liquibet page. I'm just saying that HuK may have commanded such an immense share of the Liquibet votes because he was more popular and had more exposure, it looked to me like most of the more informed players thought it was going to be very close. | ||

Though admittedly Boxer is not among the top WoL players (even Iron was knocked out...), so it's good that he went further than expected. But hating whomever knocked out Boxer... is a pretty normal response, I'd say. Boxer is a huge reason why ESPORTS exist today! | ||

Obviously the part before the quote was not addressed to you. "What influence do they have over the results of the game?" This is a question asking you what influence the cast of SOTG has over the outcome of the game. The answer is clearly none (unless you really want to argue over small psychological factors...) therefore I put "Hmmm...." to imply that the answer was very obvious. Then I said "Yeah... that's right." The purpose of this line was to show that since the answer to the question was clearly that they have no influence over the games, that their opinions really don't matter. You can therefore imply that I feel it really isn't necessary that they each research every topic they are going to discuss... especially when questions are brought up on the fly. | ||

There is more money in Europe, as well as you can play from home, not a foreign country where near to no one speaks english. | ||

Well not only that... but they lose a lot of money for traveling and living somewhere else, and then they obviously can't be around family and friends. On top of that, it is still a huge risk. Using Bomber as an example... if he really is the best player on ST as many of his teammates have said, then it just goes to show how someone with so much skill can still have some trouble qualifying because losing 1 series means you are out. The point is, it is still very difficult to get to the top even if you deserve to be there. On top of it all, you would have to wait for an entire season just to have a chance of winning. | ||
