Anyway, your race have no influence with the ability to deal with jet lag It's not their race or ethnicity, it's the culture. When have you heard a 3 or more time GSL champion (or similar level) say "I want to go outside of Korea"? Never. They don't want to go out of Korea so they don't practice to recover quickly from jet lag. Foreigners on the other hand love to go to places like Korea, whether its to train or visit...so they prepare themselves to recover from jet lag faster.
MC is a scrub. Use better arguments to troll it's too easy :'(

Why is Nestea being referred to as a 4-time GSL champ?
|
the big question is WTF happened to SC2 in the US? Is it Obamas fault? Even huk has fallen out and he is canadian.

Is it strange that I completely expected Kas to beat Nestea today?
Not really.
Nestea is a very good with strategic play but his mechanics are really lacking in standard macro games where Kas really shines.
Also ZvT is his weakest matchup by far and he always looks tired as fuck when he travels.

It's pity Tasteless doesn't know much about foreign scene.. first the Sortof-Demuslim match where Demuslim definitely wasn't a favorite, now Nerchio-Forgg. He was talking as if Forgg was 80/20 favorite to win, while coming into the match Forgg was rather the underdog. or not so how much did you bet on him for 3 times the money I bet $600 and made a nice profit. ^^ thats not how you profit. you profit from making good bets And I make 65% correct bets silly. When you actually understands what constitutes a "favorite", it's easy to bet on this scene.
lol
yeah youre a profitable better mentioning a stat that says nothing. you know that all odds between players arent given at 2 times the money each right? how many bets have you made?
yes its all about understanding what constitutes a favourite to be profitable. could you tell me more about what constitutes a favourite? what were the odds in that match for example?

And NesTea isnt as good as everyone thinks imo. I mean... he's ZergBong x_X Never rly understood the hype about nestea :/

What's really incredible with Kas is that he's one of the really few guys who were good 2years ago and are still relevant. Like Nestea btw

Winning a GSL without dropping a map a year ago (his 3rd IIRC) was a fucking impressive feat, the Nestea's award is impressive too.

Not so sure, guy's pretty good but he's a bit hot/cold. Still, Illusion is a pretty legitimate shout in terms of foreign Terrans

oh God lol, you know I've been searching for your posts cause they are so stupidly biased, it's pure gold. This last comment is awesome! Though if you are just trolling I guess you got me too. but you should probably stop soon tt
Anyway gratz to Kas, well deserved. Also had to stop watching mid game1 and was very surprised to see he came back. Hopefully he can keep it up

I have made 1912 career bets, getting 1191 bets correct. During the IEM group stages I have made 23 correct bets out of 29, only skipping Nestea vs Violet. The only mistake I made was predicting Inori to advance in the 2nd-3rd spot.
The odds in the ForGG-Nerchio were at roughly ~1.71/2.4, although by my estimation they should have been ~2.2/1.8.
Personally I use a 15-category heuristic model of talent evaluation in conjunction with recent results, recent alterations to said model, tournament priority, situational experience, and the influence of inside information. Prestige and reputation are largely irrelevant unless they reflect said factors in action.

I think his point was that most bets are not offered at 1:1 odds.
