Nothing against WCS and all but Reynor winning them wouldn't really diminish the streaj because honestly they didn't have much value in the first place. | ||

For WCS Montreal you could have predicted most of the top 8 and the result of all the matches in the top 8 before the tournament even started. | ||

Well there have always been a few upsets. Based on Liquibets I don't think things are particularly different from previous GSLs. And the favourites did win every ro8 match. | ||

The favourites all winning is the most likely outcome (though no individual outcome is 'likely' generally speaking). Let's just say that personally I don't feel like the amount of upsets has changed much, and the top Liquibetters are getting 70-something % of the points which is what usually happens. | ||

Because Dark is a much better player than that freud patchzerg that barely beat an inactive low master spine rushing him. #RyungWooNation | ||

And Reynor to win vs any not-Serral foreigner. E: I guess a bit less flippant: just predict favourites win and you'll be right most of the time and wrong some. Just as it has always been. I guess the main difference is that with Maru's return to earth, it's hard to point out anybody who is really a clear favourite in Korea... and ZvZ is a hard mirror to predict without Nestea or Life towering above the rest of their race. | ||

Unless it's the beginning of a slump it's quite easy to predict if you know the player. e.g. Dark, Trap, ZestvP, Maru, Stats. But sometimes their enemies can surprise - Patience is a good example. Many "Korean elitists" were warning everybody that Patience can surprise. And he did. | ||
