Related to that, LGD & TNC have real chances to capitalize here. Winning this tournament puts you in a good place to lock in a generally safe invite slot. (And the Prize Pool doesn't hurt.) TNC, especially, doesn't have another LAN for a while, and they have to fight Mineski & Fnatic for qualifier slots. | ||

having them decided by how many invites to tournaments teams got or how hard their regional quals are would suck | ||

If they win, the only way they can be dislodged is if someone wins a Major and places highly in another. It puts valuable space between them and the teams currently in 5th through 11th. It has a good chance to hold, from their current number, but the key points to 3k as being a "lock". A win locks them. If they don't win, it's going to be close at the end of the season, mostly as the only teams likely to win a Major are all in this tournament (+ Fnatic). Mathematical space, which is high placing at 2 Majors, between them and those close by are the important numbers for locking in an Invite. | ||

Valve can smooth that out by the way they do regional slots, though there's always been a bias from doing well really early in the season, which the DPC actually lessens a bit, given the way the old invite system worked. | ||

Mathematically Mineski isn't locked, but I think the chances of 5 of VGs/Newbee/LGD/TNC/Fnatic/EG getting a perfect enough setup for the remaining tournaments is pretty unlikely, but I'm not a statistician | ||

Say LGD. Then the teams below them are likely to all get more points, and they could end up 9th. That gets far, far less likely at 3150, which they'd be at if they win the tournament. | ||
