I think an interesting spin-off series would be to have games with well-known players and their names obscured (i.e. Pros, Casters, Content Creators, etc.), and then you have to guess which person it is.
Dear Harstem, the Rank Roulette Season 2 was very fun. No need to apologize for the rule changes within the season. You are the boss and you make the rules. If anyone complains, let the winner of the game of SC2 set the rule square and fair.
can you add in the slightly awkward length for the intro poses again please :D I love the extra few seconds where they have to hold their pose a bit longer than necessary
I think you did a great job adjusting the "punishment" for not guessing every week. As you need an amazing score to be top 3 and that's all that matters the +1 is, as you say, a big punishment but not too punishing to slop someone who just missed a week from competing. Great job Captain. Hamster, you're great as always. Keep calling Catz out on his SheNaningans. Thank you both for this great series.
For the rules of Harstem vs the world. I think a really good idea would be to only count the top X amount of guesses for each contestant. So if there were 10 episodes perhaps only count the top 8 guesses each person has. That way people can miss a couple of weeks and its not punishing at all, but if you guess every week you get a small advantage. Then like a base punishment of 4 or community average+1 whichever is worse, if you have to fill out guesses if not enough people hit the determined number of guesses. But could also just lower the amount of guesses required to fit as needed.
wow interesting to see how each player shows their competitive spirit. Guess if you were or are a sc2 pro you have to have that grit in some form or fashion
Only thing that beats it was this past weekends StayAtHome Story Cup, only thing that could've made it better was if Harstem was a featured caster aswell
Great show! Great contestants! Also, not a big deal, but the standings at the end have some small mistakes. Upatree, Lowko, ZG and Wardi are tied for 5th place, etc.
I absolutely crushed this one with 4 points only! Diamond 2, Gold 3, Masters 1 and Plat 3. I think being a mid tier diamond player gives you a pretty huge advantage compared to being a GM when guessing this though. Judging if someone is much better, a little better, a little worse or much worse than yourself, instead of having to figure out if the players are 1k MMR or 5k MMR lower than you
I think your 'solution 3' is a great solution. Yes, having rule changes mid-competition kind of sucks, but your reasoning was fully justified. And it's not like this is a super high-stakes tournament or that we signed a big, complicated rule book before entering. The fact that the community does so well is a common phenomenon known as "Wisdom of the Crowd". Basically says that lots of moderately smart people are often, on average, smarter than a very smart person. There's a really interesting video on the topic here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lPnik1VamSM.html
Wisdom of the Crowd? Is it even real? I have seen many examples of mob mentality in my life, but that is pretty much the opposite effect. And it has a well established equation. The intelligence of the crowd equals to the intelligence of the most stupid member of the crowd divided by the number of people in the crowd. ;)
@@lazaruslong697 yes, wisdom of the crowd is real. We all have a tendency to either overestimate or underestimate. Having the average of the crowd makes it such that those who overestimate will balance out those who underestimate, which is why the community will always perform better than one individual
wow.... 1st i thought Solar would win... and Catz knocked him out... then my 2nd choice was Lambo.. and Catz knocked him out... so now against all odds.. i gonna say MCanning
Great series, really enjoying the finals this time round as compared to last season! It's a massive improvement! Keep going Harstem & Hamster!! Hope I'll win something from rank roulette some day lol
at game one it looked like something I would do, perfect execution of Uthermal 2 base all in and then I choke because I have no idea what I am doing, so I guessed Diamond 2 where I am at, and they like "Masters 2" lmao Oh I went 2, 2, 2, 0.
Lez go, CatZ~! NA pride XD (I went diamond 3, gold 2, masters 2, diamond 3, which I think gives 9 total. Been making some good guesses during the finals :D)
11:00 "You bump it down I Bump it up" - Catz, The Guy who said NA Players are better, decides to guess the rank even higher after finding out its NA MMR. Damn, his mind is an Enigma.
Woo-hoo, I can't believe I won something! This is a first for me, I'm super happy with my final score this half of the season. Earlier when I saw the email in my inbox I thought it was a scam, lol Thank you, Captain o7
im gonna say mccanning against catz is going to be good vs evil. the fun cool dude, who has it vs the evil mastermind. maybe i just think that because catz has this coat.
