The biggest favourites to advance are Life, Hero, Squirtle, Hero, Curious, Taeja and Leenock.

The biggest favourites to drop out are Soulkey, Bogus, Bbyong and Baby. (Note that some Kespa players are still underrated.)

I like how you were doing this for the up and down groups and it seems relatively accurate, but I have a question about how you come up with the percentages. Is the program based on assuming they all play each other? I guess I'm just having trouble seeing how it would predict a group that isn't using a round robin format. I could see how it's all working with the up and down matches but do you have it set up so it takes into account who their first opponent is + assuming who the second opponent is, etc? Or is it just in general? Very interesting stuff, though.

For a round robin group I run 100,000 simulations and count the frequency of each outcome. (Opterown's suggestion of 1,000 is really not enough to get accurate numbers in a 6-player group, for instance. Ideally I would like to do even more.)


Why do you use MC to compute the outcome of a round robin group? In case of the U&D system of Bo1 series, a 5-player group only has 10 matches, so 1024 possible outcomes. A 6-player group has 15 matches and ~32K possible outcomes. It seems easier to just iterate over all possible outcomes than it is to do *more* simulations than there are possible outcomes.

Things don't get much worse with Bo3 round-robin groups. A single Bo3 has 4 possible outcomes instead of the 2 possible outcomes of a Bo1. So a 6-player group would have 4^15 = 2^30 ~ 1B possible outcomes. This gets tricky, but it's doable still. But in reality, we only see Bo3 round-robin groups with 4 players per group (in foreign tournaments). In this case you only have 4^6 = 4096 possible outcomes.

So to summarize: It seems faster (and more accurate) to loop over all possible outcomes, compute the possibility of each outcome and sum it all up.

These are some crazy awesome groups. Group E for the group of death, but holy ass is Group A close.

At least no PvP for Liquid'Hero in his group, doesn't make it an easy one by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks for the input, sounds like good advice. I hadn't considered doing it that way.

Get used to it, it's unlikely we'll ever see a foreigner in Code S again, unless GOM gives Stephano a seed or something.

Well ya a seed is pretty much the only way a foreigner would get into code S because no foreigner who really has a good shot at getting thru would even try to go thru all the qualifiers when there are perfectly good events that dont take months to get into.
