´Let me WikiLeak this shit. I know USA will hunt me but I am not afraid! Its all true and you can find all this data on the .gg server where Alex and Bush are hiding their stuff!

Idra is part of EG and is cursed. He gets kicked with the curse. He joins META and curses all others. Root did not win WCS because Idra cursed Catz and so Root with EG curse. And Artosis predictions went down since Idra cursed him too. And all this was planed by EG/Alliance Alex Garfield. He has a private vendetta against Artosis and Root. But let me explain into deep. Its not like "they refused a Monster or took the last Pizza slice so I will curse this bastards" thing.

Alex has great casters and he wants his casters to work with Tasteless. But this damn Artosis is still bigger. So he wants to get him out of the way. But if he wants to remove him he needs to destroy his reputation first! And thats why he needed to be cursed! But just for Artosis he would not kick Idra. Even if Incontrol pointed out they will care more about wining and not just PR it would still be a minus in their pocked. So he waited.

With META coming up he saw his opportunity to get rid of both Artosis and Root. He cant kill Team Liquid or Complexity and he had not too. He is playing his puppets like he wants. Leading into TL picking up Complexities Dota2 Team because he thought they will loose money with them. How could he know his EG Dota B team would not qualify and TL would? You can not win all the time he just sayed! But Root is something that can make trouble. The Puppetmaster thought about how to solve this problem. And then Meta showed up with Catz being a fix part in it. So he saw his chance to destroy both and Idra was the key.

He could not kick him because of no results. If he would do it he had to kick much more players, well 90% of EG. But he knew Idra would do his job and talk bullshit. And ofc it will happen again that childish people would overreact on something that Idra says on the Internet. And haters will make a big time drama out of it so Alex waited but he had not wait too long. He instantly kicked Idra and he knew Artosis would not let his bro fall. Artosis picked him up to Meta and all got cursed.

Catz and his players not wining and so no sponsor fights in NA. And Artosis failing, loosing his SC2 credibility and will fall soon so that EG/Alliance Alex "Puppetmaster" Garfield will have all that he wants. And why Bush you ask? This guy is putting money into EG because he wants to be the best League of Legends player in NA and only EG can help him to achieve this goal!

If you try to catch me Alex/Bush I am already on my way to mother russia so I am save (sry for bad english, i could not do it better)

+ Show Spoiler +
ps: I wanted to put a much deeper mystery story behind bush but it would just be offensive to US people. It was about Alex gets a deal with Blizzard so they have a US only stream running for WCS and his casters would announce that EG won WCS. And it does not matter if true or not because all believed bush won because television said he won the election so he know this works. But this is kind of offensive and I did not want to get a temp ban. But I like the idea so much that i wanted to share but hided it in a spoiler so Admins will not find it

What about the Innovation vs MVP in the last WCS Finals. He said innovation should win, but as MVP was beating him, he started saying MVP got this.... He said it 3 times. He predicted MVP to win it 3 times. And eventually his curse overpowered MVP.

Ok, so in about 7 hours the WCS Finals starts. I won't be up when it starts but can someone post his predictions in the thread so I can update it when I get up?

If someone hasn't already, this seems like something to bring up in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=56608

(Tl;dr: TL final edit arguing that predictions aren't about being right, they're about the fun of the debate)
This is not to say that discussing and quantifying the Artosis curse is not also part of the fun of the debate, of course, just something to consider

#Artosispredictions

Group A:
- Rain (1st)
- Jaedong (2nd)
(possible bonus: "If Jaedong beats Rain, he is DEFINITELY coming out")

Group B:
- First (FIRST)
- Polt (2nd)
("Polt should beat Bomber" (I quote this one only because it seems so likely that Bomber will SMASH Polt, #easycurse))

Group C:
- Innovation (1st)
- Taeja (2nd)
[but it's hard to predict]

Group D:
- Maru (definitely)
- Jim (cursed out of the tournament already)

Does this mean that he still has a chance of going through if he loses the first match vs Rain?

Anyone run the numbers of what the statistical likelihood of him getting that many wrong?

I've seen weaker correlations given causational kudos

Last WCS finals (season 1), Artosis predicted MVP to beat Innovation in the semis, MVP went on to lose.


That was a scary series to watch. He said Inno was going to win, Inno starts losing. Said MVP was going to win half way through, MVP starts losing. RTC- Real-time-curse


Yeah, I wanted MVP to win... and then he got cursed.

Well, First never had a chance in the first place.

Poor Polt, though.

I know people are still annoyed by that line. But I want a pro that suffered Artosis Curse to say:
"I was a pro once too, but then I took an artosis curse to the knee."

But whatever I am impressed by the consistency of Artosis predictions.

I did some statistical analysis some pages ago xD

Assuming that any prediction done without any kind of insight on the game has a 50% chance of becoming true, and given that Artosis has correctly predicted 6 out of the 33 outcomes listed in the OP, by the magic of the binomial distribution we can find that:

- The probability of getting such a result is p=0.0001
- The p-value associated with such a result is p-value=0.0004

The alternative hypothesis being that the Artosis curse is real is therefore confirmed, even under the most stringent p-value threshold of 0.001.

CURSED.

This is stupid, Artosis is just calling the favorites, do you want him to just randomly pick who he thinks should win ignoring records and play styles, I have agreed with most of his predictions so far, so I guess I'm cursed as well.

Good thing you came here and exposed the truth, everyone else in the thread thought that the Artosis curse was a real thing that actually made people lose......

No, it's not stupid. Artosis is really a warlock who actually resents Starcraft 2 and casts spells to put curses on players to undermine the competition. How come you're the only one who doesn't see it?
