he would be the code s winner with the worst winrate during season, ever The chances of that are statistically very unlikely. Coin flipping can only take you so far. Actually, assuming we are talking about 50/50 coin flips. This is not unlikely. Basically he has a 1/16 chance which is same as Squirtle, HerO, Leenock. And the six people already in quarters has 1/8 chance.
Coin flipping is just an expression. There's no build or style that produces an exact 50/50 win chance against every player. It's more about playing to get an advantage without actually using much skill where you can also easily come out with a disadvantage.
Coin flipping can be a form of metagaming, or at least is related, but impressive metagaming requires more thought as opposed to randomness. It's a spectrum, and I think Heart plays on the low-thought end.

Actually, since players basically play with imperfect information (fog of war). A lot of things can be consider coin flip. Players are always calculating the risk/rewards/player tendencies. Things like CC first, late pool, nexus first all can get punished by the right builds. Obviously, some things like proxy 2 rax/4 gate/bane bust are considered 'big' coin flips because it depends so much on not getting scouted/opponent playing extremely greedy.

Not really anything I really want to catch today, but I guess I'll stick around for the Leenock games.

Because its like an exact copy. The composer had no inspiration and decided to make a kpop version of that song.

Hoping for Leenock in 2nd place and a protoss in 1st place. Thinking it's going to be squirtle, hero's results as of late have been pretty lacklustre whilst squirtle seems in top form atm.

Heart is the one reviving BitByBit. For centuries BitByBit has been dead in the ground, locked away by Tastosis so that he could never harm the GSL again with his SCV all-ins. But Heart has made it into Code S and with every victory he picks up, BitByBit slowly is coming back into the scene.
He's reviving him slowly with his all-in sacrifices.
