Now Batz, what is 6 divided by 2?

Yeah he did. We are in for quite the thread.

You should try to harass this guy into proving that claim, like you do with the replays. Something that truly won’t ever happen (or will be someone elses account).

I think these kids are taking barcodes/anonymity too far. I can’t say I’m 7k MMR and beat serral 4-0 just cause I made a barcode and people know I’ve been GM before, lmao.

I’m the kind of guy that goes 30-2 in GM and complains about the two losses being due to Terran imbalance, cause they simply are. Tehbatz is the kinda guy who drone rushes or proxy hatches every game and then he tries to come up with random stats to try to make it look like he doesn’t play the best performing race in the game…

I don’t know why the guy is so defensive. He doesn’t even try to play Zerg. He plays Zerg as much as a guy who only cannon rushes plays Toss. Dude is an all-around troll, whether intentional or not.

Isn’t his ignorance just so cute? He debates like he amoves void rays.

And somehow doesn’t know how to beat a cannon rush. Meanwhile I practically slept through beating PartinG’s cannon rush (the same one he beat sOo with in Code S).

to be fair, playa is the much bigger whiner. playa is like the prototype of the “normal” whiner.

compared to him, batz is the far smaller whiner. also, compared to every whiner out there (hi platys51, dukenukem, ehrenmann etc) he tries to use logic and statistic to proof his points. most of the users here have trouble in understanding his points, but because of peer pressure, most of them dont like him.

btw, i do really like the god (batz) vs hades (playa) analogy lol.

Batz is a pretty smart guy that comes off oddly insecure.

That’s because he vehemently denies anything that disagrees with his point of view and appears to be incapable of admitting fault or accepting when he’s wrong.
He regularly claims something “proven”, when that “proof” is dependent on circular reasoning. If anyone tries to point it out and explain why his “proof” is invalid, he calls them a liar and/or asks them to prove his flawed claim false.

That’s a cute story. I’ll put it on my bookshelf between unicorns and vampires - “Man who doesn’t understand linear regression and who asserts Zerg is advantaged (contrary to the evidence) tells stories of other people being incapable of admitting fault.”

Remember when you asserted that Zergs get a performance boost and that that causes an inflation in the number of zerg players, and then the data came in and showed ZERO skew in rankings? What was your response? “Batz can’t accept when he is wrong”! Don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house.

Hi batz! how about some math 9 / 3 = ?

Standard “math guy” who thinks everything is in the numbers, as long as they’re the ones he uses. People who think math = logic are on a spectrum.

In the batz world, if 99% of black people make up the NBA but black people only won the MVP award 95% of the time, then black people are clearly UP and need to be buffed. This is seriously the basis of every argument this guy has for Zerg not being the best race.

It’s so elementary, but if you use enough “complicated charts/numbers,” you can totally say whatever you want (at least convince yourself). Some people think using numbers is a license to turn off their brain. Most math people. The exact opposite of being logical. A freaking calculator has as much awareness of logical conclusions.

tbh, yes, that would mean, that black people have to be buffed, since you would expect that 99% of the times, black people would win the MVP, if the sample size is high enough and if you assume, that everyone has the same chance to win it.

but on the other hand, if 99% of the NBA players are black, it doesnt say anything about the strength of the black people. when you open up a NBA team in africa, do you only have black people in there because theyre the strongest? no, you only have black people, because 99,99% of all africans are black (i know its surely not the right number, but anyway). so you didnt choose these people because theyre black, youve chosen them, because they were there.

in stacraft words, in there are f.e. 2 terran pros and 40 zerg pros. it doesnt mean that zerg is op, if zerg wins 99% of all tournaments. it just means, that the odds for a zerg win is way higher than for a terran win. so in this world, zerg wouldnt be op, if 9/10 tournaments were won by a zerg. this even could mean, that zerg is up, since the odds for zerg winning would be higher than 9/10

ps:
on the same note, even if these two terrans would have won 9/10 tournaments, it wouldnt say anything about balance, since it could be, that these two terrans are WAAAAY more skilled than anybody else, so this result would even mean, that the game was balanced. thats btw the reason why you cant take serral or maru last year as an example of imbaness, since both literally destroyed the whole planet earth with their skill.

You guys can’t be serious. It’s so hard to take anyone seriously who likes to use math due to stuff like this. Just makes everyone look bad. You guys come up with the polar opposite answers of what is right/obvious to even a 2 year old and people applaud like you did something good. It’s so aggravating/maddening.

Take the NBA, literally. Close to 100% of the “skill positions” are comprised of black players.

A lot of GMs/scouts refuse to draft white players because they don’t think they’re fast enough to play defense. Even Jerry West, who is a hall of famer (a white guy), says he refuses to draft white people due to this.

Nearly all of the white people in the NBA are simply there cause “they happened to be one of the few 7 feet tall people in the world” and the height requirement for that job opening happened to be 7 feet.

Steve Nash, a white guy, won the MVP multiple times as a point guard, though. In fact, 3 years in a row, a white guy won the MVP.

Yet, you’d have to be patently f’ing stupid to think your chances of making the NBA or being the best player would increase if you weren’t black, and that’s exactly what you would be if you “buffed black people” cause a white guy won the MVP more times than you think he should have.

All you would be doing is ensuring that, eventually, 100% of the NBA would be black instead of 99%, removing all possibility for anyone white to be the best.

Without common sense, numbers don’t mean anything.

I know we don’t always see eye to eye, but this is a very good example and a very good explanation too.
