Time for another 1 billion poll? You get coL.Heart as a possible lifesaver.
With the state of P v T at the moment in Korea (terran getting rolled), this isn't really the wisest bet.
However, I'll take it anyway!

I'd put it at about <2% chance that none of them get through. | ||

I agree - I'm just saying that the current metagame would suggest betting your life on terrans beating 2 protosses isn't very wise - though I guess the caliber of these players is just so much higher then Ace/Killers that the bet is very tempting. | ||

The caliber of these players doesn't matter, especially in a bo1, and even in a TvT it would be stupid to bet your life because anything can happen, see GoOdy beating MMA LOL. | ||

I think it does matter, seeing as this determines who is in Code S or not. It's Bo1, but there are probably going to be ~12 games, so the small sample size argument doesn't really hold water. | ||

Well, kinda depends on what's your breaking point for 1bil vs your life. For most people 75% chance might be tempting enough. And with with 3 terran, The chance of at least 1 making through is 80% even if every match is 50-50 split. | ||

Yeah, but if this was for real i doubt so many people would vote for the money. lol I doubt most people would take a 1/4 chance of die instantly (oh well, most people are dumb, so maybe I'm wrong here). However. I don't see any real situation happen, where no terran gets out of this group, so in this case, I would take the bet. | ||

Basically you never work another day and can buy everything except Dodgers kind of money. US Government agency such as FDA and EPA value human life at around 8mil. | ||

Take in account that society is so fcked up, a human life in Africa is 800 $ while Paris Hilton thinks her life cant be measured in value. Actually u also have to take into account that this world is basically just ethnically wrong to begin with. | ||
