 I guess TIME, Ryung and ShoWTime all have realistic chances but it's very hard to predict | ||

If Ryung wins ONE game and Time doesn't win 2-0 AND Showtime doesn't win - Ryung is in. If Showtime wins and Ryung doesn't - Showtime is in (this is only way showtime is in I think) Time ONLY might be in if neither showtime or Ryung win (which is not unlikely). But (1) if Time wins 2-1, he's only in if Ryung lost 0-2. (2) If Time wins 2-0, he's in (again, as long as both showtime/Ryung lost). This is my really bad math but hopefully a good start. In short, honestly, I think Time has a good chance at advancing?????? Showtime/Ryung are massive underdogs and Time is favored versus Special (probably?) | ||

But it upsets happen with map wins, it can get relatively complicated. Ryung winning one map should qualify him | ||

Then it gets weird because TIME has the tiebreaker over Showtime, Showtime has the tiebreaker over Ryung and Ryung has the tiebreaker over TIME. So Showtime has the most difficult way through because he absolutely NEEDS to take a map off of Serral and he needs Ryung and TIME to both lose 2-0. TIME is playing Special and Ryung is playing Dark. I'd favor TIME over Special and Ryung is good enough to take one map off of Dark over Showtime taking a map or winning a series against Serral. | ||

I think there's actually a 5% chance Ryung even takes a game. Ryung is great at positioning and big picture thinking - and TvZ is just too mechanical. | ||

Thing is Ryung doesn't need to take a map off of Dark to advance. If Ryung loses 2-0 and TIME wins 2-1 they are now tied and Ryung has the tiebreaker. This only gets weird if Showtime also takes a game off of Serral which I think is even less likely than Ryung taking a map off of Dark. So TIME needs to win 2-0 in order to advance. | ||

So I got this wrong. If Ryung loses 2-0 and TIME wins at all he wins by exactly one map win. If Ryung loses 0-2 and TIME loses 1-2 Ryung wins via Tiebreaker. If Ryung loses 1-2 and TIME wins 2-1 Ryung advances via Tiebreaker. Showtime needs to beat Serral to advance. It's as simple as that. and he still doesn't qualify if TIME 2-0's Special. So the only way Showtime advances is if he beats Serral and both Ryung loses 0-2 and TIME loses to Special. | ||

If that happens, who would qualify in every TIME Special scenario ? I'm probably wrong but in that case Ryung qualifies if TIME loses or if TIME wins 2-1. If TIME 2-0s special, then TIME is in. In your scenario showtime never gets in EDIT: nvm I was wrong, look at the comment right above mine. If TIME wins at all he's through | ||

Great, we are on the same page then. That's what I wrote above but wasn't sure if I was right | ||

If all of Showtime/Ryung/Time lose, then Ryung is through with a majestic 2-3 score. | ||
