A funny thing about pick'ems
Somehow nearly 6,000 people managed to get every pick wrong, but no one managed to get every pick right.
You'd think those two numbers would be a little more closer together. Especially if people were randomly picking.

6000 people who never watch pros filled out a pick'em because there was a mission for it. On the other hand, lots of people were predicting TSM getting to quarters, many had LZ over SSG, others predicted RNG over SKT, and of course NA fans thought C9 would beat WE.
Once you get all of the quarter finals wrong you automatically get the rest of the knockout stage wrong whereas if you get them right you need to get everything else right so the odds of all wrong is much higher and easier
I'm actually pretty sure a higher % would get a perfect pick'em if everyone would just completely randomize it and leave it like that.
If I'm not mistaken nothing weird on that - there should be slightly higher amount of 0-point combinations thus making it having higher chance of having all picks wrong than right.
people can leave the second set blank, and thus have no chance of gaining points from the knock-out stage, which is probably how a lot of them maintained their 0 points.
6000 isn't even a lot of people
well nobody expected LongZhu to flop like that
i think thats the real kicker
