In all seriousness, Life's not looked impeccable over the last few months and Lilbow has really solid PvZ. He's also shown that he can handle the pressure of defeating major players, even when he's down in the series (being 0-2 down vs Hydra and basically dead in Game 3 to winning the series). He'll also have a massive crowd advantage over life because he's the foreign hope and Anaheim love that shit. Could definitely see him beating life but it'll probably be a close-ish series either way.
No.
Let's sigbet - 1 year?

I liked Hybrid theroy (topical!) and Meteora. Everything since has been rubbish.
Zest is clearly going to win this. Last year he came in as a big favorite and bombed and this time coming in under the radar to steal it all.

That's not a fair bet.

What is a fair bet?

Lilbow wins.
Look what he is capable of with just one base in a game he already lost against Hydra! He just allowed himself a big handicap 0:2, one base lost and then started to play. Life will be a piece of cake :-)

Life has never lost a Bo5 to a foreigner, right? It seems silly to even ask.

Well, LIFE of course WAS a better player than Lilbow.
But recently ... he is playing like ... Maru!

I feel so sorry for the players, who do not make it to BlizzCon ... why do they play it one week before BlizzCon? Why don't they do BlizzCon starting one day earlier? :-( Imagine Fantasy not getting there ... Maru not getting there ... Life not getting to the big stage :-(

they'll still get to go and be part of the event, and they've played on many big stages before.

They don't have space in their schedule for 8 bo5s, and Blizzard are probably afraid to play off-stage matches like they did in 2013 because we went at them pretty hard after the tournament. This is the only way all 16 players are ensured main stream focus.

Yes, but they will be "2nd class" participants ... They will probably play some archon mode semi-tournament ... But nobody will care. The TOP8 will be the only true participants ... I would prefer all the TOP16 being part of the main event.

Yes :-( Because they need to fit there all the Heroes of the storm games to strengthen it's position against LOL ... :-(

A bet which incorporates realistic odds i guess. 1:1 for Lilbow vs Life isn't fair (unless the lilbow fans are really that blind)

A year for me if Life loses, 2 months for Yonnua if Lilbow loses? For good measure, I'll include a Life 3-2 victory under "Life loses".

Because they care about WoW, HotS and Hearthstone as well. Starcraft II already receives attention that far outmatches that of the other games, expecting them to push out tournaments for their other games completely is pretty shitty. You probably know how you would feel if the situation were reversed.

With 12 of you. What's the deal? If INnoVation wins the WCS Global Finals and becomes WCS World Champion, you get to have the entirety of my sig for a period of 365 days divided by the number of people who sign up for this (meaning if there are 12 people in it, it's one month for each person). If INnoVation doesn't win... then I get to have the entirety of all of your sigs for 2 to 8 months : 2 months if he loses in the finals, 4 months if he loses in the Ro4, 6 months if he loses in the Ro8 and 8 months if he loses in the Ro16 (but INnoVation is so great that it shouldn't happen, right?). There's only one restriction : you must have more than 1000 posts, or more than 500 posts if you're a proven INno fan (the list of proven INno fans is determined by me and only me, though I'll probably ask help from GumBa). Deal? Lol. This sigbet is a huge trap. Regardless of how good INnoVation is, with a field this stacked no player has even close to a 50% chance of winning, and even if he did that deal is favourable to OtherWorld.
That's why the result of the bet is not equal, my dear Ziggurat. I agree that there more chances that INno loses than that he wins, thus I lose more if INno wins than my opponents lose if INno loses. I am not the LYGF of sigbets.

Alright gents. Let's see who's brave around here.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NtFRax7.png)
Here is the bracket. Fill in the bracket with how you think the final will go. I don't care about scores, just tell me the winner.
I got my brand new recording equipment yesterday morning. So here is what I can do for you:
The first person to correctly predict the semifinalists, finalists and winner (doesn't matter who wins Ro8) gets a wholly original song by me to your specifications. I will sing, play any instrument, I'll even do a cover if you want me to. All your choice.
Failing the above, the first person to correctly predict the semifinalists and finalists (but not the winner of the finals) gets the same, but I have creative control. You give me the lyrics. I do the rest.
Failing the above, the first person to correctly predict the semifinalists gets either a speech or lengthy blog post, again to your specifications, with my awesome ass microphone and my awesome dramatic voice.
If nobody manages to guess the Ro4, I get to change everyone's sig for X number of days where X is the number of people. Everyone gets a customized sig. If you're betting Deathstar or someone, this sigbet applies after that one.
Oh and if someone predicts Lilbow to win and Lilbow does win, you get three songs instead of one.
