Incidentally the payout for a zerg winning is only 1.5. | ||

Betting sites are offering something in the 2.2-2.9 range which sounds about right. Incidentally the payout for a zerg winning is only 1.5. That shouldn't be surprising between Serral, Dark and Rogue you have probably the three favourites in the competition. Add in some strong dark horses in soO and Reynor, I'd take that $1.50 bet any day. | ||

1. Serral 2. Any zerg else Seriously I don't see any non-Zerg player taking it, not even Maru since this is a weekender. | ||

Given that we are approaching Blizzcon with SC2 being in its worst state balance-wise in its entire history and ZvZ being Serral's best matchup, I don't see him losing until he really messes up. I mean that's not even remotely true, Starcraft2 has been more balanced than ever the last two years. Just doing two minutes of research on for example Aligulac would show you that TvZ is at 49,09%, TvP at 49,95 and while PvZ isn't in an amazing spot at 45,47% it's far far from the worst we've had. Like 41% WR in PvT back in 2017, 41% in 2016 and 41% in 2013. And don't even get me started on the golden age of GomTvT where zergs had 32,86% WR in ZvT and 43,26% in ZvP. I mean you don't even have to go that far back, in fact just last year Protoss had a larger win rate advantage in PvT (54,74%) Than zergs currently have in both ZvT and ZvP. | ||

It's a fallacious argument. Aligulac balance report includes tons of games from low level players (like low masters and even diamond and below) played in small weekly cups and thus it's almost meaningless, especially when we are talking about Blizzcon predictions. It doesn't reflect results from individual high level tournaments, like for example 2019 GSL Season 3 Code S. What you should have used, but for whatever reason you didn't, is aligulac's period list. It reflects balance at the absolute top level, and as you can see, there wasn't a single period in the whole history of the game where one race overperformed that much as zerg is right now. At the same time toss currently have one of its all time lowest performance. | ||
