Curious to see TY's form. Not really seeing a universe where Dark doesn't advance in a group with two Protoss, but stranger things have happened.

Dark & Classic are the obvious favourites, but I'm betting on Dark & Trap here, with Trap getting out first.

Dark > Classic (BARELY, and due to a misplay by Classic from a winning position in the final game)
Trap > TY (but it looks really uncertain who the better player was)
Trap > Dark (And everyone goes "Oh my god! Trap is looking incredible today." Tasteless claims that this is "the most X that I have ever seen", for some value of X.)
Classic > TY (total stomp)
Dark > Classic (Again, Classic looks better but somehow can't close it out. Everyone knows Dark is a great player but feels like Classic should have been the one to advance.)

Trap getting out first is a lot less likely than Dear finishing first in Group B. At least Dear's PvZ is his best MU and he played it twice. Trap's PvT is trash and his chance vs either Classic or Dark is very slim.

This group is strong but very easy to predict. Will be pleasantly surprised if Dark or Classic does not advance, because I'm a TY fan.
Neither party will be missed.

Idk. Personally, I went with TY beating him but that's me playing the long shot. In terms of recent stats, Trap holds the advantage in sample size and win percentage when it comes to PvT.

Also, despite Dark generally being far better in ZvP than Trap, when it comes to their head-to-head Trap seems to have his number for whatever reason. Even in LotV, Trap leads.

Their record

It's one of those weird head to heads, like aLive vs Scarlett.

Trap is an excellent PvZ player. It's by far his best MU. If not for his PvZ, trap would be just another Creator/Hurricane. Dark's ZvP is not as good as it once was in 2016. When it comes to late game I would still take Dark though.

In the previous patch, Trap did not have a decent sample size in offline matches versus korean Terran. In the only four applicable series, he beat Ryung, who is a horrible TvP player and ALive, who is slumping real hard this year. In the other two, he lost to Gumiho and Bogus. No real surprise here. He had one online h2h versus TY, which he lost.
Neither party will be missed.

A fantastic group, and I can't watch it due to crummy hotel internet. I'm rooting for the hipster pick, Trap, but I don't think he makes it out.

Maybe that's why they are stuck in platinum. Because they think they know better than Dark.

You want Dark to pull all that gas out of his ass? You can't realistically gamble it all on one fungal.

If it comes down to Trap vs Classic I pick Classic. His PvP has looked super strong especially vs other Koreans.

Yeah, Classic should take this regardless of who he's up against in the winner's match. My predictions gettin' rekt.

This match was the one I wasn't looking forward to. Trap has been killing it lately and he's JinAir but I want to see TY make waves again. Somehow I want them both to win but I know that won't happen.

The only group stage TY has ever failed in LoTV was GSL ro16 last season.

If he wins today he'll be 16-1 in LoTV groups.

One thing I like about Classic's PvT is how he stays active and does mini harasses and contains. As opposed to other Protoss in PvT where they just try to turtle and defend.

Not really a big if, Trap has a good record against Dark.

Classic picked Trap in group selections specifically to get revenge on Dark for picking him.

Hmm... Yeah, fair enough. I say "big if" out of respect for Dark and the fact that he had to have prepared hard for protoss here.

Wait... I was thinking Bomber. Did he not win a GSL? For some reason, I thought he had before he won that global finals. But it looks like my bad memory strikes again?

Dark should've picked a Terran, then again hindsight is 20/20 and he probably thought Classic's historically wonky PvZ would work in his favor.

Technically Tasteless said the most recent champ who isn't currently in Code S

So it's Rain, then Life (unless this is officially removed?), then Soulkey, then everyone who won before that

We had 5 toss in some 2014 seasons. But we haven't had six of one race in a top 8 since GomTvT in 2011

Not in GSL at least, there are probably foreigner tournaments with 8 zergs or something

RIP the six toss dream

At least TY gets his group stage record going again

the forward blink would've been good if there were no reinforcements, a risky move that many would take

Are you saying that soO and Dark don't have much game knowledge when they selected Dear and Classic respectively for their groups?

Fans make predictions based on what we've seen in tournaments and maybe on streams. Past results, however, don't guarantee future results. If someone comes out with something new, someone has a bad day, or the stars just align, predictions can be made to look really dumb even if they were made based on the best available information.

Well considering Classic himself has admitted his PvZ is trash, Dark specifically chose players he's favoured against, the players themselves have similar opinions

Also Dear winning the group was an upset, by defintion that means him winning was unlikely.

As a Dark fan it really gets annoying. If he played group selections the same way guys like herO, ByuN etc do he'd have made countless ro8s by now

He would probably have more 2nd places than soO if he did that.

Easiest bet of my life. Except I thought TY would demolish the group (like he usually does) and he was about to but then the embodiment of protoss showed up and Chinned him.

TY and Classic both played amazing in this group. Would advise anyone who likes Starcraft to see the first three series of the group.

And I guess we got an upset? I mean, TY is not even a top-14 player in the world, right? So playing like this must be a huge surprise to everyone, right?

According to aligulac xd ?

Look which matches they add to do their stats :

A small sample :

Misato PL Z 3–2 T PL bleidd

GOLDMADMAN CN Z 2–0 P US BlueApril

TY KR T 2–0 P KR Gyulzzing

Dark KR Z 2–0 P UA Lisandro

Ryung KR T 2–0 Z CN Ganxieni

danran CN Z 0–2 Z KR Rogue

Solar KR Z 2–0 P KR 퇴근

Impact KR Z 2–0 P CN Firefly

Arctur RU T 1–0 Z CH Cammelot

Keiras CZ Z 1–0 P UK Floru
etc...

from such a great tournaments : "Diamonds Are Not Forever Invitational #1", "Kung Fu Cup Weekly 2018 ", " Alpha SC2 Team League Season 11 Euro Pro Group A Houkago Tea Team vs Romandy Gaming Academy", Proxy Tempest EU Open #135 Ro32", etc... and they mix that with GSL, olimoleague, like it's relevant...

What's the evidence of Zerg being underpowered?

Maru is miles above Solar at the moment and Zest mind gamed Solar and hit him with a new build.
soO choked hard against Dear. I haven't actually watched soO INnoVation, but ZvT has historically been soO's weakest matchup, so that's not a surprise.
Dark played like pure trash against Classic and Trap.
Rogue choked hard against Dear.

That's a super small sample size and there are a lot better reasons for the results other than imbalance.

Including matches with large skill disparities push winrates towards 50% because the probability of pairing two players with widely differing skill levels is symmetric with regards to race, assuming a similar skill distribution across races. So if Aligulac winrates are close to 50% that doesn't necessarily indicate that the game is balanced because of the noisy data, but for the same reason larger deviations are a good indicator of imbalance because if you stripped out all the mismatched games the deviation would be even larger.

Which doesn't work, because the region are locked for tournaments.

The probabity of a zerg foreign to meet TY on a tournament is really low, while the probablility of a terran foreigners encounters Serral is higher.

And there is many more tournaments on EU than on KOR. Some tournaments have BO1 qualifier, some BO3. It really hard to prove here that the number of games is enough to homogenize all the bias.

Your hypothesis is the for all games the sum of all difference between MMR of T-Z=DeltaT is only = 0 to 200. I really doubt, it's true, and a fortiori that it was true for all reports.

And actually you suppose 45% is different than 50%, which isn't sure.

And the problem is it doesn't match the reality, if you see some 65% on TvZ on a tournament while aligulac says 45%, ever aligulac is wrong and fails to show the real state of balance, ever his stat have a confidence interval like 45% +/-20% and it's meaningless to use it.

Region lock doesn't apply to online tournaments, which is where you'll find the largest skill mismatches. And the same effect holds within a region anyway--assuming similar distributions of skill it's no more likely for a 90th percentile EU Terran to play a 10th percentile EU Zerg than the other way around.

Your hypothesis is the for all games the sum of all difference between MMR of T-Z=DeltaT is only = 0 to 200. I really doubt, it's true, and a fortiori that it was true for all reports.

No, that's not my hypothesis.

And the problem is it doesn't match the reality, if you see some 65% on TvZ on a tournament while aligulac says 45%, ever aligulac is wrong and fails to show the real state of balance, ever his stat have a confidence interval like 45% +/-20% and it's meaningless to use it.

Why would you expect the global tournament winrates to be an estimator of an individual tournament's winrates? That's...not how it works. The sample here is tournament games recorded by Aligulac. If anything, you'd expect the Aligulac winrates to be estimators of winrates across all tournament games played. The sample statistic is an estimator of the population parameter not the other way around.
