Fair enough, but this is easily one of the top 8 anime plot twists of all time.


I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it in an LR before... But it does come up once in a while--even had a guy PM me as the 'only other Assyrian' on this site.

I haven't prepared anything. Shellshock's 100k will be just as underwhelming as this.

I bet his 100k will be

"lol"


I hope he dedicates it to Enel in the One Piece thread. He's a key contributor there.

I.. just learned about a new TL thing

So you're probably our next 50k poster...

You only chose the metric of offline Bo5 because it artificially deflates the winrate of the foreigners due to all the games with lower level foreigners (as if it needs any deflating). Statistically speaking the difference between a Bo3 and a Bo5 is just something like 5%.


From a pure win% standpoint, I can see how the difference between bo3 and bo5 is minimal. But when it comes to actual players there seems to be a big difference. It's much easier to catch someone of guard with 2 allins than 3. And generally players will have more time to adapt to their opponent, and in many cases take the match more seriously


The preparation is the bigger bit imo, since Bo5 are usually big tournament games. But if you look a things like TING groups or HSC I don't think the results look too different from if they were Bo3s.

You've missed years of amazing discussions such as "Is the author wrong about his own work?", "Is ice a state of matter?", and of course the everlasting question of whether or not Enel is the greatest existence in the One Piece universe.

You're comparing only a few dozen series though--I don't think you can draw meaningful conclusions from that.

What happened in jjakji vs Drogo?

You live in Iraq?


Never been there. I'm Canadian.

Since when did Canadians pretend to be someone of a different nationality. Unless you're Iraqi.


Canadians have lots of experience with fake identities in the Middle East. Haven't you seen the movie Argo?

I guess I'm not a true Canadian then

Ah damn, MMA ruined the pathetic winrate of foreigners against koreans in bo5s.
Jk awesome that he looked competitive.


You only chose the metric of offline Bo5 because it artificially deflates the winrate of the foreigners due to all the games with lower level foreigners (as if it needs any deflating). Statistically speaking the difference between a Bo3 and a Bo5 is just something like 5%.


From a pure win% standpoint, I can see how the difference between bo3 and bo5 is minimal. But when it comes to actual players there seems to be a big difference. It's much easier to catch someone of guard with 2 allins than 3. And generally players will have more time to adapt to their opponent, and in many cases take the match more seriously


The preparation is the bigger bit imo, since Bo5 are usually big tournament games. But if you look a things like TING groups or HSC I don't think the results look too different from if they were Bo3s.

Foreigners have no problems winning bo3's as shown at Blizzcon and IEM Katowice


You're comparing only a few dozen series though--I don't think you can draw meaningful conclusions from that.

Well this Blizzcon they have taken more bo3s than they have taken bo5s the entire year


They also played about as many bo3s as bo5s were played all year.
