If you wanna check the probabilities of a Blizzcon finals just go to the Blizzcon page here http://sc2.4ever.tv/?page=tournament&tid=100
Go down to the bottom in the events table, and use the search filter like this "positive double 1st 2nd taeja innovation" (without the quotes). Make sure you sort by probability. It is currently tracking 245 possible finals results, so if it doesn't show up then it's pretty unlikely to happen or maybe impossible.

Here's some examples

positive double 1st 2nd taeja innovation
~ 0.35 % of the time
TaeJa gets 1st in Blizzcon 2014 and
INnoVation gets 2nd in Blizzcon 2014

~ 0.33 % of the time
INnoVation gets 1st in Blizzcon 2014 and
TaeJa gets 2nd in Blizzcon 2014

positive double 1st 2nd life san
~ 0.67 % of the time
San gets 1st in Blizzcon 2014 and
Life gets 2nd in Blizzcon 2014

~ 0.41 % of the time
Life gets 1st in Blizzcon 2014 and
San gets 2nd in Blizzcon 2014
This would change Life's Blizzcon chances

No, it's 8 players in the top bracket and 8 on the bottom, 8*8, that's only 64 possible if the seedings were all set. I'm not sure how many are actually possible with the seedings not set yet, but I think 245 (well half as many since 245 is results) is pretty good. It doesn't have Pigbaby vs Hyun, but it does have Jaedong vs Hyun, Bomber vs Jaedong, and MC vs Hyun, so it's definitely got some good coverage.

Yeah, but there are 46 brackets, so even though one match is already set (Stardust vs MMA), I figured there would be close to 480 final results.

Yeah, but there are 46 brackets, so even though one match is already set (Stardust vs MMA), I figured there would be close to 480 final results.

Even though only 1 match is set, I think some more players are already set to 1 side of the bracket.

Hero and Pigbaby can only be seed #10, Scarlett can only be #13, Jaedong can only be #16. Zest can only be #2 or #3 which are both on the lower half of the bracket. Probably some others with a similar status too considering that #12 and #13 are on the same side of the bracket, so are #4 and #5, #10 and #11, #6 and #7, and #14 and #15. It's a very complex problem lol, I don't know how many possible finals there are, but I think it's tracking a large number of them, and all of the likely ones.

I used some javascript to add up all the probabilities of the finals results events and got
99.6488784

So there's about 0.3511216 % remaining that is unaccounted for, which means it's tracking the vast majority of possibilities and certainly all of the decently likely finals.

I'd be interested to hear thoughts on the following.

So the way aligulac is set up, it seems like it pretty consistently over-rates foreigners and Koreans competing in foreign countries. As such, the Blizzcon predictor shows a high chance of foreigners making the finals and foreign Koreans winning the tournament up until the moment it becomes mathematically impossible.

For instance, Snute had something like a 50% chance of qualifying at one point but this seemed to be based on predictions that he would score really highly at Dreamhack against tons of top Koreans. Snute is amazing but 50% always seemed high. And then there's the fact that Scarlett still has a 17% chance of qualifying despite the fact that she has to win WCS America to do so. Keeping in mind that no foreigner has ever won a WCS tournament, this seems unlikely to actually have 17% probability (I'm rooting for Scarlett 100%, I'm just trying to be objective here. In fact if she pulls it off (which I think she can) she deserves much more credit than "oh that would've happened roughly 1 in 5 times anyway"). Finally, Innovation and MMA are as likely to win the tournament? Same for Jjakji and Zest as well as San and SoO? Wait what?

yeah that's the problem I have with using aligulac for predictions.

why not just wait until someone is a lock (mathematically impossible for them to be eliminated from top 16), and until they are a lock, you can list the scenarios where they are eliminated. (I assume these lists would be huge, though)

You can pretty much already do this with the events, you can see what secures them and what eliminates them, and you can see events that increase or decrease their chances. You can think of the chances as relative if you don't like aligulac ratings or use the all players are equal setting http://sc2.4ever.tv/?use_aligulac=0

I do wish Aligulac weighted online matches less though, and tweaked the curve of rating changes when a strong player faces a weak player, the weak player farming is much too strong. Does a bo7 count more for aligulac than a best of 3?

yeah aligulac would then have a lot less issue with foreign Koreans being rated so highly. as a result in twisted your own stats to say that jjakji to be 5th in chances to win blizzcon when in reality he's the weakest player out of the 16.
