There is a 2 in 3 chance that a Zerg will win this tournament (Stephano and Violet.)

There is also almost a 2 in 3 chance that a Korean will win.

ToD more likely to win than Naniwa? Yeah i think you missed a class ^^

ToD has 45 more Elo points than Naniwa in the international database. I don't claim that it's perfect, but there you have it. ToD is pretty good.

Also, there could be some relative variation in the lower numbers because this is Monte Carlo simulation, not exact numbers. It doesn't make sense to directly compare players with so low percentages.

What I would take out of that list is that Stephano and Violet are the biggest favourites, and that Stc, Polt, Crank and Bomber could also take it. Other winners are extremely unlikely.

Which just goes to show how bad the Elo ranking system is.

Plus, it hasnt been updated from MLG, where Naniwa had a very good run

Elo is a rating system, not a ranking system, and it's not bad. It has deficiencies, but TLPD Elo is best we have for SC2.

And yeah, the lack of updates grinds my gears.

Not sure what to do about it. Maybe I can apply for a job. ^^

I would not agree that Polt, Bomber and Violet wins are each, individually, more likely than a Stephano win.

It's what i am implying. Any of those will trump Stephano

Didn't you see yesterday's games Stephano vs lucifron ?

TB's greatness is wholly portrayed in all his overblown photographic grandeur, while Naniwa's picture... well.

ToD more likely to win than Naniwa? Yeah i think you missed a class ^^

ToD has 45 more Elo points than Naniwa in the international database.


Which just goes to show how bad the Elo ranking system is.

Plus, it hasnt been updated from MLG, where Naniwa had a very good run

The Elo is pretty good, it just doesn't work as well in Starcraft.

Elo is rubbish. You judge how well a player will do in a tournament by recent performances, what their best and worst Matchups are, what race their opponents are and their respective best and worst Matchups, and the maps being played.
Bow down to the sons of Aiur...SKT1_Rain, CreatorPrime, ST_Parting, Liquid_Hero.

TSL.Polt is such a cutie. Would love to see him take this, although obviously he pretty much always seems to be an underdog.

Elo does judge a player by recent performances. My system also does take into account their matchups, the opponent's races and their matchup stats too. So everything seems fine except for the maps. I'm just trying to do it in a strictly objective manner.

Elo has problems, but those are not it.

Anyway, here are some numbers for y'all. If my calculations are correct, the MLP season 3 premiere should finish just before this tournament starts, yielding optimal viewing experiences for all involved.

There is a 2 in 3 chance that a Zerg will win this tournament (Stephano and Violet.)

There is also almost a 2 in 3 chance that a Korean will win.

ToD has 45 more Elo points than Naniwa in the international database. I don't claim that it's perfect, but there you have it. ToD is pretty good.

Also, there could be some relative variation in the lower numbers because this is Monte Carlo simulation, not exact numbers. It doesn't make sense to directly compare players with so low percentages.

What I would take out of that list is that Stephano and Violet are the biggest favourites, and that Stc, Polt, Crank and Bomber could also take it. Other winners are extremely unlikely.

Stephano isn't a favorite to win that in my opinion. Polt, Bomber, and Violet are the more likely winners.

Depends how you word it.

I would agree that it's more likely that Polt, Bomber or Violet win than that Stephano win.

I would not agree that Polt, Bomber and Violet wins are each, individually, more likely than a Stephano win.


It's what i am implying. Any of those will trump Stephano

Didn't you see yesterday's games Stephano vs lucifron ?

agree, Lucifron trashed Stephano yesterday. so excited to see how he will perform today.
