I want Grubby or Xlord to win, but I think Snute will take it.

Snute leading the poll? Ridiculous how fickle and easily hyped people are.


Really? Snute looks near invincible in ZvZ recently beating Life, Stephano, TLO, and now Symbol and he has also displayed pretty good ZvT beating people like TheSTC and taking games off Taeja and Bomber. He 4-0'd both his groups in this tournament. He deserves to be leading the poll.


http://gosugamers.net/starcraft2/rankings/
I think he deserves to be among the favourites!

that's a pretty bad rating system tbh, it values 3-2 the same as 3-0

Well, here are my numbers, for what they are worth. Symbol is a big favourite, after him there is basically Snute, Stephano and Xlord (!).

Yeah, take them with a grain of salt as usual, but I did get all advancees right yesterday, as well as 7 and 6/8 from days 2 and 1 respectively. So I guess it's not total BS.

Note: Third place match ignored.

HSC Bracket

Most likely winners:
      Symbol: 52.68%
      Snute: 17.67%
      Stephano: 11.21%
      XlorD: 10.73%
      TLO: 3.27%
      Grubby: 3.27%
      MarineKing: 0.87%
      BratOK: 0.29%

Life expectancy:
      Symbol: 2.04 rounds (lose in the finals)
      Stephano: 1.36 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      Snute: 1.27 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      XlorD: 1.11 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      Grubby: 0.46 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      TLO: 0.27 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      BratOK: 0.24 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      MarineKing: 0.24 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)

Detailed placement probabilities

Top 8 Top 4 Top 2 Win
Snute: 33.96% 22.67% 25.70% 17.67%
Grubby: 66.04% 24.77% 5.92% 3.27%
MarineKing: 83.38% 10.30% 5.44% 0.87%
Stephano: 16.62% 42.26% 29.91% 11.21%
XlorD: 21.98% 55.47% 11.82% 10.73%
BratOK: 78.02% 19.96% 1.72% 0.29%
TLO: 83.78% 8.25% 4.69% 3.27%
Symbol: 16.22% 16.32% 14.79% 52.68%

I think Snute has the best chances to win. He's so smart, so clever and so hardworking. He's just so deserving to win his first big tournament. And he's zerg as well.

Wow the top half of this bracket is so stacked. Bottom half Symbol should make it through, although TLO is very skilled and has a decent shot at beating him.

a quick survey showed me that MKP has roughly 50% percent winrate in tvz in the past 3 months, note that the losses are from much scarier zvt players than stephano, such as life, leenock, hyun, sniper

Stephano has about the same winrate, slightly better, but vs worse quality tvz opponents in average (there are good players but overall worse opponents in average which is logical since he mainly enters foreign tournaments, fewer koreans there)

so while obviously you put a lof of work into that webpage, the predictions often seem way off

MC kept on losing to Grubby recently in really close series, good to see grubby doing well but I hope MC will be back soon. TLO looking really strong in HSC but he kept on drawing Zerg in the playoff which he seemed to keep losing. Symbol is really good at ZvZ . Gogo TLO,MKP,Grubby and Xlord!

while they seem to be kinda strange often, his prediction turn out to be right scaringly often. Predicting all players who advance in 2nd group stage correctly (with MC and MMA getting eliminated!) is quite impressive

yeah I saw the predictions and they are right and seem rational a lot of times. but there are examples where they are way off. I remember a prediction which gave Polt a very bad chance while his race specific elo was better than his opponents and he proceeded to rape the guy. don't remember the specifics though.
