This should just be a compilation of player vs player picks to see if it actually is a CURSE. But then that would exclude the most infamous and hilarious mispredictions, eg Clide, Jjakji & San. | ||

Wow nice catch, I'll add this soon. | ||

Maybe hes actually right most of the time but we highlight his wrong predictions.You seem to have managed to quote posts before and after mine, which list two of his correct predictions for OSL. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=425131¤tpage=6#105 | ||

Or it would make the ultimate curse.. Scary thoughts Except the EG curse isn't actually real, whereas the Artosis curse does seem pretty legitimate lol Just imagine if Artosis's playstyle always included Carriers... | ||

Do we have evidence this is actually true? It is true. When we're talking Artosis picking a winner out of two players to advance to the next round, he's right well over 50% of the time. It's not nearly as funny when you limit it to reasonable restrictions like that though. Most of the Artosis curse incidents are him picking a player to win the entire tournament, or Ro4 or Ro8 or Ro16, whatever. If you need proof, rewatch any season of GSL. He gives a prediction before every match. The majority of people he picks wins, but human beings have selective memory. I think most intelligent people don't legitimately believe Artosis is "stupid" or "clueless" or anything like that - they just stick with this because it is funny, not because they think badly of Artosis. | ||
