Rotterdam Wins WC3-GosuBet

gosubet_season1_featpic.jpg

The first season is over - GosuBet season one has after one month of uptime closed and we got ourselves a winner; Kevin van der Kooi!



SueCia made one last attempt to catch up to the first position. Sweden Valli claimed not to be betting on South Korea oDin. This made Sweden SueCia see his chance to win and went all in (11422) on oDin, since he reckoned that doing the opposite to Valli would be the only chance. Nevertheless, Valli had foreseen such an action and was playing a risky game himself. He did the opposite to what he said and chose to bet 7,000 minerals on oDin. As the match began, we had two Swedes both hoping for oDin to win his match versus Korea Silent_Control in the Korean WCG preliminaries.

None succeeded. oDin lost and so did Valli and SueCia. Valli, however, still had 8142 minerals which was about 3400 minerals more than enough to win the first prize of an entry ticket to BlizzCon in California, on October 28-29th. SueCia lost it all and owned 0 minerals just like 526 other members who also refused to click the reset button after losing their minerals.

Interview with Valli



Tell us, what's it like being the winner of GosuBet's first season? Feels good? Girls follow you on the street?

Yeah it feels very good, It's always feels good too be number one. I've got my own fan club... I accept no other than good-looking girls in my age ; ). But I've notice some people recognize me at the battle.net.

What are you going to do with your ticket to BlizzCon?

I will probably give it away to someone who is attending BlizzCon or selling it. But SueCia and I discussed if we are going to host a Gamigneye tour about it and having it as a first prize.

Tell us what made you the winner in the end, instead of SueCia.

I played it cool because I knew SueCia would go all in. I betted only what was needed to win even though he went all in. Though unfortunately we both lost the last bet.

What was your strategy?

It was a lot of luck because I hardly ever checked up any information about the gamers competing. The only information I got was chatting with wG)BW-Muffe, SueCia and NaW-Dominion to hear what they thought.

Any tips to other betters?

Go all in until you get some minerals, after that you can start playing safe.

Will you win the next season?

Of course! ;)

"Season 2xShow me the minerals"


Season two of GosuBet is a special kind of season. It does not last month-wise, instead it will go under the slogan "2xShow me the minerals", meaning first to 20,000 wins. If two members reaches 20,000 from the same bet, then the member with the most minerals wins. There is no prize announced for the second season as of now.

All minerals have been clean swept and high scores for the previous season is added. Personal high scores can be found by clicking the "My GosuBets", however high scores are only saved assuming they are more than 50 minerals.
