For the statistics specialists, I have a problem for you:

It's been ten years, and WoW is the most popular, competitive and balanced eSport in the world. Billions of people are watching the "superbowl" of 2v2 - mage/rogue versus priest/rogue, for a five million dollar prize pot.

Both teams have players with high levels of skill, but the mage/rogue are the favorites due to their godlike reflexes and tiger woods-like mental concentration under pressure. However, even if they outplay to the priest/rogue they still lose if the priest resists at least one of kidney shot or counterspell, both 15% chances.

What are the odds of priest/rogue team defeating the mage/rogue team in this 5-series game and stealing the 5-million dollar prize?

Edit: Beaten to the punch by Gurg, but the point is, it could happen, and it will happen.
