Artosis Curse: Whenever Artosis predicts someone to win a match or a tournament, the following two factors must be evaluated. 1) How sure is Artosis in his prediction? - (0%) Not sure at all -> 40/40 sure he's right -> (100%) Adamant & hyping the guy up 2) How sure is the community in comparison? - (High agreement) Does the community fall in solid agreement with Artosis? -> (Minimal agreement) Or is the community extremely skeptical (or perhaps in disagreement with Artosis)? My theory for the Artosis Curse is that as the sureness of Artosis' prediction approaches 100% and as the sureness of the community's prediction approaches minimal agreement -> the odds of the player winning goes towards 0%. TLDR: If Artosis is sounding really sure, while the community isn't that sure, the player is probably cursed. A Couple Anecdotal Examples: WCS KR Season 1 Finals - Innovation was hyped over Soulkey and Artosis was very sure about this. The community was also quite sure, however. In the end, I think this led to a "weak Artosis curse" effect, which would be a good explanation for why InnoVation practically had the match won at 3-0 and then lost 4 straight to throw away the series. (Result: Mildly cursed) Innovation vs Bomber - I think Artosis was very sure that Innovation would crush Bomber. Community seemed quite in agreement, but I think a significant minority of Bomber fans who disagreed. In the end, Bomber 2-0'd InnoVation. (Result: Strongly cursed) First vs Bomber - Artosis sounded ABSOLUTELY sure that First was going to crush Bomber. Apparently, First had shown the best PvT that Artosis had seen recently from anyone, while Artosis didn't have much faith in Bomber's TvP. I think the community was at least split 40/40 (yes, that's the second reference in one post) or in favor of Bomber, especially after seeing him crush InnoVation. (Result: Strongly / very strongly cursed) Myungsik - Please see http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1j33t7/the_result_of_artosis_tweet_regarding_myungsik_at/ (Result: Cursed) Next for discussion: I believe there's a parallel but opposite effect we've seen in Starcraft 2. I call it the Bitterdam Buff. So far, it applies only to iG.Jim. That man is virtually unstoppable, especially recently. At least in game - US visa application troubles and IEM disqualifications seem to be his Achilles heel. And let's not forget how he (and the other Chinese players) ended up not even being able to sign-up for / play in the WCS AM Season 1 Premier League qualifiers. But man, have you seen his games? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + And it's 'lose' 'losing' 'loser'. No idea where this horrible internet 'oo' spelling of the word 'lose' has come from, but it needs to be stomped on before it spreads.... Oh no, am I too late? | ||

More like double asymptotes Imagine two graphs, and if in each graph you're getting closer to the limit/asymptote, then you know you're getting into the danger territory. Kind of like hitting the red-line of an engine's RPM, ha ha. | ||

He will either lose 4-0 to Rain or in the finals he will lose in the most one sided 4-0 StarCraft has ever seen or will ever see. Worse than InCa v Nestea!? | ||

And just a heads up to OP - lose has 1 o, not 2. Lose and loose are separate words with very different meanings. | ||
