I think inflexibility should be punished.. perhaps you don't. That's only true if the differences are statistically significant, a point which you haven't proven yet. Here is a quote from a different thread: On November 22 2011 10:57 Darkstar_X wrote: Best of 1 is actually extremely indicative of a series. Data from GSL May: In Code A, of the 31 matches, the person who won the first game won the series 23 times (74.2%). In Code S, of the 15 matches, the person who won the first game won the series 13 times (86.6%). Data from GSL July: In Code A, of the 31 matches, the person who won the first game won the series 24 times (77.4%). In Code S, of the 15 matches, the person who won the first game won the series 14 times (93.3%). If you look through any other seasons you will find similar. This shows that even best of one game series is unlikely to change the outcome of the winner. In fact, you could just watch the first game of a Code S match and have a 90% accuracy in predicting the winner of the match. You could argue that there is a chance of an upset, however, that is smaller than the variation that occurs at a tournament from other factors. Tournaments never tell you definitively who is a better player, just who won today. I happen to disagree that difference is not significant. A 15% or 25% difference in players of similar skill can have relatively significant differences in a tournament. That was kind of my point in using the example of a difference of 4.7%. I am not saying that it would definitively change things. I was saying that it could change things. | ||

Xigua,6:0,convincing success, S class level as some korean players said,was a darkhorses. F91, I am not surprised if he takes down any favorite and fails to underdogs,inconsistent player ever. Macsed is a solid and defensive protoss,he is definitely not the player with great potential but now he can rank top4 protoss in China.His group is much tougher...good luck~ | ||

People are saying he's code-S material? that's kind of ridiculous. I think he's good though, i'm interested to see how far the chinese scene takes SC2. | ||

Mb you don't know Code-S material stuff just came from lyn's mouth. 2:0,0:2,0:2.2:3,these are records between lyn and Xigua.During that time, Lyn's teammate Toodming slayered lyn by 6:0(possibly 10:0).Therefore ,Toodming>Xigua? I don't think so. | ||

I don't think so. Well, keep in mind Lyn's playing War3 at the same time. (Impressive performance yesterday by Lyn in WCG too.) If a full-time SC2 pro can't beat a part-time SC2 pro, I don't know how you can say he's Code S material. | ||
