Standard LR rules apply: No balance whining, no KeSPA vs. GomTV inciting, no excessive derailing ESPECIALLY when games are on. This is not a thread for you to argue with other people.

He hasn't made the experiences of TL staff to know that you NEVER doubt Mvp.

So maybe now we can finally see how BW skill translates to SC2:

Here were their stats in BW:

MVP:
All: 30-46 (39.47%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W L L L L W L L W L

By.Sun:
All: 31-31 (50.00%) | Last 10 (old -> recent): W L W L L W W W W W

Game on!!


Meaning what...


Well MVP obviously sucked in BW, and Sun/Rain was pretty good. If Rain wins, then it means MVP's level of play isn't that good after all and may actually be just as bad as he was in BW. Then ESF players have a problem next GSL when KeSPA pros have fully practiced...

Also, MVP vs Flash record in BW was 1-6, so I can't wait to see those two go head to head in SC2.


Man, MVP did not suck in BW, he is pretty good, and up coming terran in BW when he retired.

People need to understand a 40% winrate with decent game numbers in proleague means you are very good.

I want Rain to win.

But I've seen MVP defeat too many "unbeatable" players

a preview by grubby!!! oh my oh my!


my heart want taeja mvp and rain to win the GSL

my brain is already full of active chemicals, but if i had to make a statement i'd give the win to life and rain
life has proved numerous times that he knows how to prepare, and that is the most important thing in GSL, sadly, i believe he can take taeja
same applies for rain, he just....knows what to do, i think even mvp can't stop the elephant stomp

if jangbi takes things seriously he's much better than by.sun.

I think Rain will win the series(3-1).
MVP will be forced to do early game(1-2 bases) pushes to beat him.

Gosh, this is already tomorrow?

So hyped for Rain vs Mvp, clash of the Protoss and Terran Titans

TaeJa should take out Life, would be a major upset if we see Life in finals imo.

I had some fun today.

Disappointingly, this forum doesn't have a monospace environment (that I know of), so my beautiful formatting is lost. (Or, I have to work to prettify it.)

Probabilities are based on the Elo ratings from TLPD, where equal weight was given to the total Elo and the matchup-specific Elo. It's not clear which weighing would yield the most accurate predictions.

Taeja, Life and Rain are top three in overall Elo. That makes Taeja vs. Life essentially the highest rated match possible at the moment. How often has it happened that the two Elo leaders met in a match while they were Elo leaders, and a best of five at that?

+ Show Spoiler +
Yes, it's "Elo", not "ELO".


Anyway:

Rain vs. Mvp

Rain wins
      3-0: 19.079%
      3-1: 24.287%
      3-2: 20.610%
      Total: 63.976%

Mvp wins
      3-0: 7.639%
      3-1: 13.194%
      3-2: 15.191%
      Total: 36.024%

Most likely winner: Rain (63.976%)
Most likely outcome: Rain 3-1 Mvp (24.287%)

Taeja vs Life

Taeja wins
      3-0: 22.514%
      3-1: 26.453%
      3-2: 20.721%
      Total: 69.688%

Life wins
      3-0: 6.008%
      3-1: 10.964%
      3-2: 13.340%
      Total: 30.312%

Most likely winner: Taeja (69.688%)
Most likely outcome: Taeja 3-1 Life (26.453%)

It's on Wednesday, which might technically be "tomorrow" if you are in one of those timezones.

And Taeja please

Yeah, and don't forget that his injury was like acquired from birth (if I remember correctly). So he is playing the most intensive game mechanic wise, with an injury (although not this bad) and still get 40% win rate.
