False, "3-0" isn't a coinflip regardless who's winning, 1-1/2-2/3-3 would be coinflips.


Well, if it was truly a coinflip there would still be a 25% total chance of getting 3-0 or 0-3, so...



12,5% chance for a 3-0 if it's completely random and each player has an 50% to counter the other's build


Hence 25% for 3-0 or 0-3


nope... 12,5% for one player winning 3-0, it's not counted separately


Yup, so there's 25% chance of either 3-0 or 0-3.



do you really not understand?

there is 50% chance that 1 player will counter the other in 1 match

in 1 match if we flip the coins, there is 25% chance that they'll be both heads, 25% both tails and 50% for heads-tails- that includes both cases you're mentioning.

with the same logic it's 50%*50%*50% in three matches, all possible outcomes included that's 12,5% not 25%


You are completely misunderstanding the other guy's point. He is saying that, if we assume that a ZvZ really is a coinflip, there is 25% chance that one of the two players will be up 3-0 after three games. This is 100% true.

Here is a more concrete example. Suppose that we say that the games between Lucky and Stephano were just coinflips (I know they weren't and Lucky got outplayed, but just assume that for now). Then there is a 12.5% chance that Stephano wins the first 3 games, and a 12.5% chance that Lucky wins the first 3 games. That means there is a 12.5% + 12.5% = 25% chance that one of the two will be up 3-0.


Correct. Think of it like this:

Bo1 has 100% chance of someone winning 1-0
Bo3 has 50% chance of someone winning 2-0
Bo5 has 25% chance of someone winning 3-0


The games are not independent. After losing a game or two a player may just play worse, therefore increasing the chances of a shutout.


Read the whole nested conversation please. We are calculating odds under the assumption that ZvZ is a "pure coinflip"

I can't believe this kid plays only 3 hours a day. He was probably exaggerating when he said that.

Not at all.
He streams everytime and plays from ~8PM to ~23PM. When he plays too much, he loses (I quote him).
Before going to med school he takes this year to play SC2 then goes back to school.

He just doesn't care more than that. It's just a game he's good at.

Epic tournament. Epic games. Epic players. Epic music. Epic casting. Epic CONTENT. Epic covering for broken internet. Epic women.

I'm going to be really fucking sad that IPL 4 is such a long ways away.

You are seriously forgetting TheStC? He did better than any expected too. :p

Your whining doesn't mean anything either, sorry

Actually it does. Here's Nestea's quote when asked about playing online.

"I don’t think I can do online. I don’t want to give any excuses, but I get really angry at the lag. Because of the lag, I don’t think I want to be in any online tournament in the future. It causes me a lot of stress without a lot of payoff."

Interview was done right after a GSL match. There is a reason that Nestea refuses to participate in online tournaments.

Stephano bringing home some cash to the foreign scene, awesome. Orlando is gonna be crazy but IPL3 was definitely the best tournament I've ever seen entertainment-wise, if only they didnt have that crazy guy with the fake accent doing that horrible skit....

Great Great Great production IPL. I must say that was a pleasure to watch. The outro music with Stephano standing on stage holding up his trophy brought chills across my body and almost made me shed a tear. So epic. Stephano is the man. Grats.

Stephano beat MMA, your argument is invalid

In the finals of the qualifier, which meant literally nothing.


what is your problem? He beat the players that beat these so called better players... your arguments are embarrasing

If I beat MVP I will be the best player in the world right? Since he beat everyone before.
(I'm not taking any credit away from Stephano he damn good.)

have to remember guys like sase, nani, sjow, demuslim, socke, europe is deep man
