Also, me and Hider were discussing statistics, which we were both apparently pretty decent/good at, where as you are just saying random stuff, reposting facts (however aLive didn't play MVP in previous code S) and saying stupid shit like "there is absolutely no doubt"

Are German people generally this stupid?

Just stop trying. Some ignorant people just cant make a distinction between being really good and having good results.

Alive isn't really good like MKP. He is good, of similar caliber like other good korean terrans such as Ryung, Supernova etc. But he isn't the kind of player you expect to see dominate code S. He is the kidn of player who constantly have to work to just stay in code S.


People like you kind of piss me off, what would you rather:
Be "good" in your definition, or have good results?
I am not saying aLive is the best T in the world, but he has good results.

I do know what the difference is, like yellow in BW, he was fucking good, but never won a gold.

But which is actually better?


Why do you think the discussion is about what I rather want?

This discussion is about being good, not about results, as results vary a lot in the short term. LEsser skilled players can often times get better results in a few tournaments even if they are 10% worse than other players. However long termish we can expect the best players to get best results.

But of course if you dont play the game at a decent level your self, you can't really determine who is good/really good/mediocore, and your best bet is too look at results.


Wow, what a delicate way to say that you know better than me.

Even if this discussion is about being good, instead of producing results, who do you rate as the best?
He who wins the most shit, or he who has more of this "skill" that everyone talks about.
I can appreciate some players who are extremely good but never actually win the big finals (yellow), but in the end, those who win are the ones who win. Not those who are good.


Because thats a totally different situation. Do I want to be someone who got lucky and won a million through gambling, or a hardworking man who "only" has won half a million?

Its a compltetely pointless discussion, but I know that in the future we can expect the hardworking man to do better than the lucky gambler.

And this is probably what you miss. There is no kind of (unexplainable) secret that has yielded Alive better results (and Ryung worse results). Its mostly due to variance (+ not having pariticapted in the right tournaments).

ANd if you think there is some kind of "secret" that can explain why Ryung is doing worse than Alive, then it can be attributed to decision making/strategy/mechanicas/mentaliity that is a part of being good.


So what is you point?
aLive just got lucky and beat MMA, MVP, DRG, NESTEA, MC, MKP etc?
Or was he good? Which is why he has gotten results?
Also what you want is not the point, I believe just as much as the next guy that hard work > luck.
But in a game based a lot on luck, there is bound to be some variations, however IM_MVP was pretty good for a long time, was he just lucky a long time in a row?

Walking away from this discussion now.


Please take a statistic class. You dont understand how variance works.


in this Stats Class you are recommending make sure it covers this LAW

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

i remember 2 years ago on "another RTS Fan site" people insisting HuK got "lucky" to win 3 $100 CraftCups in a row. That many of his wins were "pure luck" based upon "gamble builds". Look at the guys he beat in the final few rounds of those $100 events. With two years of historical data to now examine ... would you say HuK was lucky or would you say he is the better player?

Same logic applies here. As the victories pile up it'll become harder and harder for this "it was pure luck" talk to withstand any common sense scrutiny.


The thing is, even though you may understand the "law of large numbers" in a nutshell, then its easy for me to see that on the way you try to simplifiy things (black/white), you dont understand statistics (especially since there is essiantelly no doubt that Huk had positive variance on his side to win 3 craftcups - though he probably was the best player at that time).

Alright guys, let's take it easy and simple, I see your point actually and whereas I'm not convinced, I'd say what you say still has some probability to be right.

Ohh I waited for this, since you are Danish I am sure you will be able to understand this:

[image loading]

NB: Videnskabsteori og metode II = Kvantitativ metode/statistik III


So if you understand variance, then can you now tell me if its possible for observatations over a short sample size to go above the mean?

Does that mean that the obersavations are of higher value or any different from the mean?

Lets say we have some expert on the field who are able to esimate what the mean most likely is, and they estimate that the oberserved values are above the mean due to randomness. But they estimate that in the future these observed values will return to the mean.

Does that make sense to you? And why cant you see that this is what I just did?

Or will you try to argue that it is impossible for any starcraft player to try and estimate the "mean", and that the observed values give a better indication of the true mean than the estimations of the experts?


Of course that makes sense to me, but who has established this "mean", because right now we are just arguing whether or not aLive's recent performances has been higher than his "mean" skill level??

I do understand your point, you say/think aLive's mean is lower than the last couple of observations/manifestations of this skill.

So yes, it is possible for a worse player to play over his "mean" for an extended period of time. However playing above your skill level/mean in crunch situations, does that not make you a better player, even though more volatile.?



gosh, are danish ppl generally dumb?

mvp never played alive.
i'm also pretty sure mkp has a better record this year than alive too


"The fact that aLive is in Code A at all is a mystery. After his championship at IPL4, there's no doubt that he's a top three player in the world. His win rate in 2012 is over 65%, with most of his games against Code S class opposition in a couple hundred games. The last player to achieve that kind of statistical feat was IMMvp in the very midst of his prime".

Even if this discussion is about being good, instead of producing results, who do you rate as the best?
He who wins the most shit, or he who has more of this "skill" that everyone talks about.
I can appreciate some players who are extremely good but never actually win the big finals (yellow), but in the end, those who win are the ones who win. Not those who are good.


Because thats a totally different situation. Do I want to be someone who got lucky and won a million through gambling, or a hardworking man who "only" has won half a million?

Its a compltetely pointless discussion, but I know that in the future we can expect the hardworking man to do better than the lucky gambler.

And this is probably what you miss. There is no kind of (unexplainable) secret that has yielded Alive better results (and Ryung worse results). Its mostly due to variance (+ not having pariticapted in the right tournaments).

ANd if you think there is some kind of "secret" that can explain why Ryung is doing worse than Alive, then it can be attributed to decision making/strategy/mechanicas/mentaliity that is a part of being good.


So what is you point?
aLive just got lucky and beat MMA, MVP, DRG, NESTEA, MC, MKP etc?
Or was he good? Which is why he has gotten results?
Also what you want is not the point, I believe just as much as the next guy that hard work > luck.
But in a game based a lot on luck, there is bound to be some variations, however IM_MVP was pretty good for a long time, was he just lucky a long time in a row?

Walking away from this discussion now.


Please take a statistic class. You dont understand how variance works.


in this Stats Class you are recommending make sure it covers this LAW
[image loading]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

i remember 2 years ago on "another RTS Fan site" people insisting HuK got "lucky" to win 3 $100 CraftCups in a row. That many of his wins were "pure luck" based upon "gamble builds". Look at the guys he beat in the final few rounds of those $100 events. With two years of historical data to now examine ... would you say HuK was lucky or would you say he is the better player?

Same logic applies here. As the victories pile up it'll become harder and harder for this "it was pure luck" talk to withstand any common sense scrutiny.


The thing is, even though you may understand the "law of large numbers" in a nutshell, then its easy for me to see that on the way you try to simplifiy things (black/white), you dont understand statistics (especially since there is essiantelly no doubt that Huk had positive variance on his side to win 3 craftcups - though he probably was the best player at that time).

Who cares if some guy has the same levl of understanding of statistics as you. This isn't a math forum, this is a starcraft2 forum, and it's pretty obvious you are simply arguing about nothing for the sake of it.

I do know however that you are trying to apply your statistics skills to a place where they don't fit. Who cares if aLive is performing "above his mean" results-wise. That's what happen when you improve... Should we fault players for improving? Should we ignore players who didn't start out being the best?

How dare he not win tournaments for a year and then suddenly start to melt face?! It ruins my system!!

Ohh I waited for this, since you are Danish I am sure you will be able to understand this:

[image loading]

NB: Videnskabsteori og metode II = Kvantitativ metode/statistik III


So if you understand variance, then can you now tell me if its possible for observatations over a short sample size to go above the mean?

Does that mean that the obersavations are of higher value or any different from the mean?

Lets say we have some expert on the field who are able to esimate what the mean most likely is, and they estimate that the oberserved values are above the mean due to randomness. But they estimate that in the future these observed values will return to the mean.

Does that make sense to you? And why cant you see that this is what I just did?

Or will you try to argue that it is impossible for any starcraft player to try and estimate the "mean", and that the observed values give a better indication of the true mean than the estimations of the experts?


Of course that makes sense to me, but who has established this "mean", because right now we are just arguing whether or not aLive's recent performances has been higher than his "mean" skill level??

I do understand your point, you say/think aLive's mean is lower than the last couple of observations/manifestations of this skill.

So yes, it is possible for a worse player to play over his "mean" for an extended period of time. However playing above your skill level/mean in crunch situations, does that not make you a better player, even though more volatile.?



gosh, are danish ppl generally dumb?

just gonna repost facts

aLive
> MVP (previous Code S)
> MMA (previous Code S)
> PuMa (IPL qualifier)
> DRG (IPL qualifier)
> MKP (IPL)
> Polt (IPL)
> NesTea (IPL)
> Leenock (Iron Squid)
> MC (Iron Squid)

65% against Code S players in 2012 - highest since MVP

There is absolutely no doubt, aLive is easily the best player in the world right now.

Bye


mvp never played alive.
i'm also pretty sure mkp has a better record this year than alive too


"The fact that aLive is in Code A at all is a mystery. After his championship at IPL4, there's no doubt that he's a top three player in the world. His win rate in 2012 is over 65%, with most of his games against Code S class opposition in a couple hundred games. The last player to achieve that kind of statistical feat was IMMvp in the very midst of his prime".

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=329665

wow, u made it quite easy for me. maybe u should actually read this very same page sometimes.


article is an opinion piece, please do your own research
mkp's win rate, this, year, for your information, is well over 70%. including a positive head-to-head against alive.

I wasn't talking about the alive thing at all, just arguing that you can't say that a win is never based on luck (I guess that's what meant by nothing "iffy") just because it is against code S / code A players.


Just stop trying. Some ignorant people just cant make a distinction between being really good and having good results.

Alive isn't really good like MKP. He is good, of similar caliber like other good korean terrans such as Ryung, Supernova etc. But he isn't the kind of player you expect to see dominate code S. He is the kidn of player who constantly have to work to just stay in code S.


People like you kind of piss me off, what would you rather:
Be "good" in your definition, or have good results?
I am not saying aLive is the best T in the world, but he has good results.

I do know what the difference is, like yellow in BW, he was fucking good, but never won a gold.

But which is actually better?


Why do you think the discussion is about what I rather want?

This discussion is about being good, not about results, as results vary a lot in the short term. LEsser skilled players can often times get better results in a few tournaments even if they are 10% worse than other players. However long termish we can expect the best players to get best results.

But of course if you dont play the game at a decent level your self, you can't really determine who is good/really good/mediocore, and your best bet is too look at results.

people use complex goobledygook to try to obfuscate simple facts.

in order to "believe" in your perspective requires twisting my mind into a pretzel of rationalizations, therefore, i'm providing a simple case.

Statistics is a branch of mathematics.
my education and knowledge of math and statistics is solid. 2 years of hard core math and 3 hard core stats courses taking engineering in a place
that hands out Bachelor of Mathematics and produces associate Actuaries annually.

Sorry for the poor formatting, but here you go. Marineking's record this year is 70%. Symbol's thrashing didn't help, otherwise MKP would be higher than that yet.

also, people alive have fallen to:
nestea
tlo
catz
rain
violet
keen
san
pet
zenio
july

so he's not exactly unbeatable

So many people saying MVP didn't play aLive in last code S (which is NOT GSL Nov.)


previous != last.


last = last finished code S

Okej, I'll help you:

over 65% against Code S players in 2012 - highest since MVP

There is absolutely no doubt, aLive is easily the best player in the world right now.

Bye


Also, me and Hider were discussing statistics, which we were both apparently pretty decent/good at, where as you are just saying random stuff, reposting facts (however aLive didn't play MVP in previous code S) and saying stupid shit like "there is absolutely no doubt"

Are German people generally this stupid?

Okay I get it, no you are right that:
last =! previous

But last finished code S = previous code S.

no?
And yes I used both words, but my intention was the same.

the great thing about this "alive is lucky" p.o.v. is ... if he keeps on winning.. .all the guys saying "he got lucky" will then say "he practised a lot and improved over the last 6 months".
