The more I watch Proleague, the more I find it hard to watch live. The breaks are too long (yea i realize theyre on TV and what not) and I do know the match hasn't started yet :D im just saying /end rant

The A-Teamers have said in interviews that some of them haven't even touched it yet which I can believe. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the B-Teamers were playing it. Hopefully Bisu has been playing it hardcore and he starts in Round 4.

They are! But vs marine tank I don't think I've ever seen it go well. Fortunately he did start making tanks, just a bit later then what feels right (as a non terran expert)

Yeah, I was mostly trolling. It was a horrible decision to not make tanks earlier, you're right about that.

way behind in tech after early game even though he nabbed the nexus, so he could never catch even with both colossi and archons, and the STX gai had an easy third since he had the army advantage throughout the game

Innovation is on a better momentum than Rain or soO. I think STX will take the ace match if it comes to the 7th set. However I don't see Suze winning against soO. It's the main issue for teams Khan and SouL. They have very talented ace players but don't have the depth to make it that far. When they have a good dynamic then it's working fine (like now for Samsung) but when they don't, they scramble for wins like STX right now.

Interesting thing to note, comparing the first 22 matches of Rd 1 and Rd 3
Round 1 : 12/22 matches went to Ace Round 3 : 4/22 matches went to Ace
So the role of the Ace has been diminished quite a bit.
Exactly same build when Size goes gas into pool with one more drone, are they even watching the game? They really need to start paying more attention to the casting for it to improve.

Indeed. I can't give an reasonable explanation for this. Obviously when facing WJS nobody has the depth to win enough games but the rest of the teams have similar records and one could expect the matches to be more disputed. I think we will see more ace matches during R4 with HotS.

Yeah, I think we just got 2 ends of the spectrum. 12/22 is probably a bit higher then 'normal' and 4/22 is a bit less then. I think on average, we should expect 7-8 ace matches out of 22.

If all games are completely random, the probability of a BO7 series going into ACE game is 0.3125. For 22 series, the expected number of ACE games is 6.875. Round 1 seems to be a strong outlier, round 3 seems normal, since not every game is random, there should be less ACE games theoretically.
