Only Moonglade backing up the Blizzcon runner up here. Needs more Demuslim.

An in form Polt could beat Life I think. He has some weird builds for TvZ that could catch Life off guard. Not favored by any means, but like 40%?

In form jjakji could also do it, his TvZ is great.

Not that good. Leenock vs Taeja was better!

Uncharacteristically weak by Taeja. Life just rolled right over him.

Nah, and one of them (if not both) won't make it out of the group stage anyway

Why nobody use this in ZvT?

well it's not actually that good

Must be why they were key instruments to his MLG (March 2013) and Blizzcon (November 2014) ZvT victories


You're simplfying Life's talent way too much :D

? I didn't say he only wins with bane busts


"key instrument" sounded like a strong word to me, I probably overreacted because of the initial post (didn't want to go at you though, hope I didn't sound agressive?)

70% has to be way too high of a percentage for Life to win this Tournament. I understand he needs to win 3 of his next 4 matches to win the Tournament?


None of the opponents that he can face in the upper bracket are that challenging for him (he recently beat First, MMA, he has a monstrous vZ record and is unlikely to lose to any of the other Protoss players) and he just destroyed Taeja.


I also think he is the clear favourite, but being favourite does not even mean having a 30% chance to win the whole thing.


Do you think there is any sequence of players he could come to face that he would not be favored against?


I am talking about the mathematical aspect.
Even if you have 80% winrate against a player, you only have a 94.208% chance to win the best of 5. I wonder what aligulac would say right now, I think rating systems are generally more reliable than simply guessing.
