Fnatic did beat TNC to qualify for SL minor which is in a bit over a week. It's a good chance to get some points. I think the quals to remaining DPC events are pretty much straight after that | ||

Assuming Fnatic manages to get good points from SL minor next week and hopefully beat at least one of VGJT/LGD, they are right on EG's heels and VGJT isn't out of reach by any means. It just comes down to who performs in those last majors. But obviously Fnatic isn't at Epicenter so Mineski or LGD might get some points from there. But EG and VGJT aren't there either. EG also didn't qualify for MDL. The last majors are not ideal for SEA teams in general. MDL only has 1 slot for SEA and has loads of Chinese teams. ESL might also have only 1 SEA slot unless they invite one of the SEA teams. It's quite a challenge to even win the SEA qualifier. EG got a pretty convenient direct invite to ESL Birmingham right as they started to face some competition in the NA quals though.

They changed the qualifier schedule after Fnatic and some other teams complained about it so it might be that they are adding more teams to the qualifier and Liquipedia just hasn't been updated with the correct info. Not sure though. Originally I guess there was some weird misunderstanding where GESC people though Fnatic couldn't play in the qual due to some other commitment | ||

Regardless, this really does not affect Fnatics TI chances. Winning this tournament was not going to get them into the top 8, they need to do well in a major anyway. And if they can't do well in a major/win the qualis, they really won't do well in TI anyway. | ||

Thats quite a lot... And not sure, why you bring Adam, if you have to first pick him Naga every single game. Its not like his Naga is comparable to a Bulldog NP/LD. | ||

Now they got 66 Points and VGJgets 450 if they beat Optic. If Fnatic would have won the tourney with Pie (BIG IF) Fnatic would have gotten 450 points and VGJ only 270. And as VGJ might very well be the #8 cutoff, this are effectively 564 points difference. Thats quite a lot... And not sure, why you bring Adam, if you have to first pick him Naga every single game. Its not like his Naga is comparable to a Bulldog NP/LD. They need to win a major anyway or place second to get top 8. These minors are a good place to gain something and grow as a team. Regardless, winning would have been great, I'm not denying that  | ||

Seems like it was just a temporary thing for whatever reason and PLD is going to be back soon. | ||

The quals for all the remaining events happen in the next 6 days or whatever. It will most likely come down to multiple Fnatic vs TNC matchups | ||
