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. |

I used an average between general Elo and matchup-specific Elo as an "actual" Elo used for the probabilities. I can think of several other ways to do this, but it's not clear at all which is best.

Both matchups are on the same day?
I have no idea why GSL needs each season to be done so quickly. No hype at all when a season starts so frequently and ends so quickly.

...The semifinals have been on the same day forever.
What.

IM happy beat rain, MVP just has to talk with happy. If Rain 3-0's MVP I'll be super pissed. I'll just skulkfully watch the scene untill rain falls into obscurity and MVP still gets GSL code S round of 16 in his slumps like I did with Bomber and MMA.

Is it from broodwar? They're based on the Elo ratings. They, in turn, are based on performance in SC2 games only (not BW). Whether the games come from Bo5s or Bo3s or are standalone doesn't matter, they're weighted equally. In Rain's case, that's 60 games.
Ok you did your maths this way. I don't think you can quite give the same value to games in a BO1 or BO3 series than games from a BO5/BO7 serie in those statistics. You basically give the same weight to games that are played in completely different situation. And yet again you need to mention the size of the sample, because except if you took only Mvp's 60 last games, you compare 316 games played over almost two years to the 60 games of Rain, that doesn't seem really meaningful to me.

I hope MVP wins just because it would be so hard to catch him in GSL titles. Rain will be really tough opponent, and if he does manage to beat him he's against Taeja/Life, hardest competition ever?
He already has four, and even beating that is an insane feat. gogo 5th!

Posted earlier I wouldn't miss this for the world. Forgot I had a midterm at 8am the same morning. Well, so much for that.
Also, anybody else expecting Mvp to be cheesy vs Rain?

As much as I would like to try to weigh different games differently, (a) it's not clear how to do it, and (b) I don't have the data anyway, and (c) Elo ratings have worked well like they are for several decades, let's not fix things that aren't broken.

I really like that prediction by grubby! you should do that more often! Nice read but i hope for a closer match between rain an mvp thanks Grubby!
|
HYPE!!! Even though my beloved Hero has been eliminated, I'm still so hyped for this. Rooting for MVP to take his 5th championship and stopping the unstoppable force that is Rain.
|
Mvp doubters at every turn.
They said the same thing about everyone before him.
Mvp is going to crush this.

So is this on the 10th or the 11th (in US time)?
|
This will start 11:10 am cest, end let's say 14:00 - 15:00 or so.
I will be in a test from 11:00 am to 15:00.
I will have an essay to write in the evening so I won't have time to catch the vods.
On thursday I could watch anything and everything whenever.
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE SCHEDULE GOD DAMMIT =FHFsdHFoiådsfhjåosdfokp

I'm sorry, I misunderstood the way you used the TLPD to calculate those numbers.
But still, Mvp usually ignores Elo ratings as we've seen in GSL S2.

it all comes down to whether mvp can find some approach to crack rain's standard play. if that does not happen, he will get destroyed by a lopsided score on account of protoss lategame strength.
if he does manage to find said approach, it then turns on whether rain can adjust fast enough. if he does not, he might lose the series and perhaps even by more than 2 games. however, if he does adjust, he will win.
