I just assume every new player with a high winrate is Gui

^+1

"Omniscient my friend, you base too much off stats as for one I am "reverse cherrypicking". But no, I am not this gui you speak of."

No, I'm positive Gui wouldn't have an alt with 75% 1v1. He'd have to play literally nothing but top 10 ladder players to have that winrate.

It would seem to me as if this man is worshiped. This game has too many variables and luck based factors (I mean come on there is literally a setting for luck.) to be so dominated by one man as you seem to suggest. Skill and psychology are helpful but against top of the line players it's silly to expect the win/loss ratio you're suggesting out of anyone.

And you still proceed to base everything on stats. :P (sorry for the double post)

Everything?

No, I just know that if an account has 75% 1v1, and doesn't have 4 games played, that there's a pretty damned good chance it isn't Gui.

And no, I don't consider the game to be completely dominated by him alone.

I'd say there's a handful of players that would have to play top 10 ladder opponents only to have 75% 1v1 ratios.

Example:

Dead Piggy has won 14 of his last 20 games vs. 1900+ ratings, that's 70% against people that are in the running for top 10 or are top 10 on the ladder (rank 13 is the lowest 1900+ player).

Luxis has won 9 of his 16 games against such opponents equaling 56%, not bad, but much worse than piggy's 70%, and I'd expect gui to perform more akin to piggy than to luxis.

Posted with the wrong account, consider the last post to be posted by Omniscient.

I could make you a list of at least 10 top players. If they would play only each other, anyone of them could be insanely happy with 65% 1on1 stats.

Unless fizzer implements a real ELO system, we will have no objective measure of good and better.

All we know for now is that Billy Walsh is good.

This game has too many variables and luck based factors...to be so dominated by one man

Ya I agree. Unless that mans name is Wally Balls.

This guy is destined for greatness.

His last turn and then instantly forfeiting is pure genius.

That game is just embarrassing, he could have beaten you fairly easily, but it appears he forgot the wastelands were there.

Sadly, no one on this site goes by the name of wally balls, so...

No, he could not have, because if I didn't already know from his stats the kind of player he is, I would have played much differently - starting with my picks.

Guys like him can be counted on to hang themselves at some point, just have to sit back and wait.
