One of the closest groups, where anyone could easily take it, and it seems Aligulac and most people agree. Shuttle is better than MMA, in my opinion. Also Kas is a terran so therefor he is much stronger than Feast. Naniwa > Mana by far and TLO (at least a little bit) has been pretty much the only zerg able to keep up with all the terrans at the top of the european ladder as of late... Group E is for sure the group of death | ||

I would argue that he is the best foreigner right now. Anyway,what do you think about your group Ret? | ||

Because Bunny is supposed to be able to beat both, but since Bunny gets an insta-loss due ForGG's massive TvT rating, Bunny only needs to mess up once to be out, where Slivko/Sase can mess up against eachother and still go through because they don't start at as a big a disadvantage as Bunny. Covered in our FAQ as well What people sometimes see when predicting single elimination brackets is that the player with the largest probability of winning is not predicted to win in the median results section. The reason this happens becomes clear with a small thought experiment. Suppose a player called Alan has a rating of 2000 and he finds himself on one side of a 16-man bracket together with seven other players rated 1999. On the other side of the bracket only one player showed up (Brian). He is also rated 1999, and now he has a bye all the way to the finals. So who is most likely to win this tournament? Is it Brian or Alan? Well, it's Brian actually. He has a 50% of beating any of the seven 1999-rated players that could come out of Alan's subbracket, and he has a slightly smaller probability (49.X%) of beating Alan, if he wins. So overall Brian's chances of winning are slightly less than 50%. On the other hand, Alan has to win four matches where he is the slight favourite in each of them. That amounts to a probability of slightly more than 12.5%. So clearly Brian is most likely to win. The way the median results work, however, is to take the least surprising result in each match. Since Alan is favoured against each player he meets, the least surprising result for each match he plays is that he wins. Thus, the median result is that Alan wins the tournament by narrowly edging out each match he plays. In summary, you can see such discrepancies if the distribution of skill on both sides of the brackets are uneven. The example above was extreme, but this is not such an uncommon phenomenon. I would definitely recommend to pay more attention to the probabilities than the median results if you are unsure. | ||
