(1000 for WCS KR second place, 500 for 13th-16th at the season finals) This will give him 2300+1500, which is 3800. Dear will also be getting a minimum of 1500 points from these two events taking him up to a total of 3250. Naniwa only has 3200, and no further opportunities to earn points. As Naniwa is currently ranked 14th, when these two players automatically overtake him he will be bumped down to 17th with no further opportunities to earn points.... I can't see how he makes it, could someone enlighten me? IDK ask Die4Ever  | ||

Because Nestea has to beat someone tonight. + Show Spoiler + Probably to keep schedule on target, is my guess. | ||

While it was nice to see foreigners they were outplayed in the first rounds. Good mix of races and fan favorites, it will be a great tournament. | ||

I mean, if I stop watching a tennis tournament because say, Roger Federer is out, versus a guy who watches all the way to completion regardless, it's not to say you're not a 'real' fan perhaps, but he'd definitely be considered a more dedicated/neutral one to me. | ||

I did! That's what he had to say. For Naniwa -------------------------------------------Scarlett gets 16th place in America Premier This happens 38.156% of the time. When it does, it increases NaNiwa's chances to 44.123%. Running the new stats now which will be more accurate with current results. edit: that's up from 30.2% | ||

Vortix could also knock him out with a good showing at WCS Toronto... I can't see how he makes it, could someone enlighten me? soo's 2300 already INCLUDES the minimum he woudl get for gsl finals and season 3 finals | ||

Tis a vicious circle if you adopt that mentality y'know, may as well make arbitrary cutoffs as to what is acceptable/not in an LR thread. | ||

For example, soO have 2300 points after 2nd place and 16th place in S3 Finals. If soO made 1st at blizzcon he'd be at 2800 points. If he then made Ro8 at S3 he'd be at 3050. He needs to make at least Ro4 to knock out naniwa. | ||

Haha you realize that's how the vast majority of people think right? Why would I watch sports if my favourite team is not there? Sure I may watch the Superbowl or the Stanley Cup because it is a major once per year event, but there is no way I'm watching games that my favorite team or player isn't playing in. And I DEFINATELY wont watch games where I have to watch a player I hate (in this case Naniwa). If I only cared about Starcraft scene for the games, I would just go and play myself. | ||

I don't think you are a cooler person or part of some club if you are a bigger fan  . Idk not trying to start some big thing. | ||

Blizzcon is basically the superbowl or stanley cup though | ||
