INNOVATION FANS LOOK OVER HERE
I am willing to sigbet with you. 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.
I was taking the different results into account when I said it was a huge trap. And I still stand by my evaluation.
INnoVation is incapable of winning Blizzcon, based on how he did the last two years.
I'll explain it all right now...
2013: Acer 2014: PauseCon
FTFY.
Anyway I'm probably either going to go for sOs or Classic. The Great Prophet or the Great Chintoss

I would argue that Unimpressed Flash was a greater thread.

I disagree, although that was pretty good. Easily top 8 in my eyes though.

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?
That's not a fair bet.
What is a fair bet?
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".

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 :-( Because they need to fit there all the Heroes of the storm games to strengthen it's position against LOL ... :-(
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.
Wait, why are people trying to sigbet me? I think Life is probably favoured, but I think it's plausible that Lilbow wins too. It wouldn't surprise me, like some other results would.
Lilbow wins. The recent form of Life is very poor.

he became a red about 3 and a half months ago
All reds are mods?
It's how the permissions system works on TL. Moderator = red but not necessarily = banling. Put clearly, you might be a moderator without ever moderating.
