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


Lmao. Artosis curse is killing esports!

Wait... we need Artosis to predict that esports is dying!

In Dreamhack Bucharest Ro16 Elfi vs Stardust + Show Spoiler +
Artosis said for Elfi at 0-1 "in fact we already know he's finished", thus predicting that Elfi will lose the series. Elfi proceeded to a miraculous 2-1 vs Stardust whose last two Dreamhack finishes were 1st and 3th/4th place.

That's surprising. The Artosis Curse exists because he's one of the most influential people in the game. Having cooky things like curses and rivalries and traditions is one of the signs of a maturing community- SC2 has been out long enough, and is popular enough, to have these things. Artosis is a figurehead, and everyone associates him with being the premier analyst/knowledgebase (also Apollo). The Artosis Curse might be a slightly dubious honor, but it is an honor none the less! Wear it with pride bro.


i agree with this


i agree as well. artosis whining about the artosis curse jokes reminds me of rick astley whining about the rickroll.

if you're in the public eye, you take whatever popularity and visibility you can get as a sign of success. by and large no one is saying "artosis is a horrible caster, fire artosis" or insulting him as a person - certainly anyone who is doing that is no different from any other brand of internet troll, and every figure in the community has SOMEONE who hates them and will act nastily toward them.

for him to act as if he's above a silly joke at his expense coming from people who aren't as successful or popular as him comes off as incredibly arrogant, entitled and self-absorbed. there is about as much chance of artosis' career being hurt by the curse meme as there is a chance of me hurting radiohead's career by pointing out that no one likes pablo honey. any celebrity in any field or scene who rejects parodies at their own expense instantly loses respect from me. parody is the public's way of leveling the playing field, so to speak, and if you deny the public that right you come off as... well, sort of a dick.


I don't really think he's whining about the TL thread, where all we do is keep stats and laugh a bit about the whole thing. I think it's more of the assholes on reddit and/or Twitter who openly flame Artosis for making predictions. Also, it's his right to be happy or unhappy about something that is directly linked to him.

Some people on twitter are fucking vile and venomous whenever he makes a prediction.

People people. The Artosis curse isn't ACTUALLY in effect unless Artosis predicts the player to win the tournament. It's not like whoever he's for or against is suddenly awful (although we question this for MMA).

Yeah, for the curse to take effect, a statement like this needs to happen.

The reverse is also true (Artosis statement regarding San for example).

artosis just seems to pick the big names when sc2 at the pro level can only always be 50/50, even the best players in the world would find it super hard overcome a perfect build order loss, but to be as much wrong as he is . . .damn even i have a better liquibet rank :/
