First, let me say that this is really impressive. I'm glad you're getting the credit you deserve for this.
That said, I believe that your program is somewhat flawed. Maybe this post will help you make it better. I think that when your program is saying that someone makes BlizzCon 3mm out of 3mm times, it is saying that they have clinched a spot. But that's not true in the case of MC and I don't think that's the case for sOs either.

MC is currently 10th in points with 3775. So if I can give you a possible outcome for the remainder of Season 3 where 7 Players pass him, who currently trail him, then something is wrong. Here's one such example.

First, MC finishes 13th-16th in the S3 Finals leaving him with 3775 Points
1. Maru finishes 9th-12th in the S3 Finals giving him 3925 Points
2. Duckdeok finishes 5th-8th in the S3 Finals giving him 3800 Points
3. Soo wins the S3 Korea PL and finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals giving him 3800 Points
4. Scarlett finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 NA PL and 5th-8th in the S3 Finals giving her 3800 Points
5. Hyun finishes 2nd in the S3 NA PL and 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals giving him 4200 Points
6. Vortix wins the S3 Finals giving him 4650 Points
7. Oz wins the S3 NA PL and finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals.

MC will probably make it, but this is definitely not the only possible outcome where he doesn't.
I can also provide examples where sOs ties for 16th, but I won't list that in the interest of keeping this post readable and I'm also not sure if Blizzard has said how ties would be handled.

I hope this helps.

(edit: Oops, I reversed this and said "0 out of 3 million" instead of "3 million out of 3 million"; the basic idea's the same though.)

I believe there isn't any clinch math being attempted, and in a Monte Carlo style simulation, saying "0 out of 3 million" is about literally saying that the simulation got 0 matching samples in 3 million attempts. The 95% confidence interval for the "actual" probability (i.e. if it had been calculated analytically, by, say, adding up all the possibilities like your example no matter how remote) is "somewhere between 0 and 0.000123%". In other words, anybody with less than 0.0002ish% probability would likely show up as a zero, even if it weren't a clinch, simply because that's not probable enough to get one scenario to show up in 3 million attempts.

Calculated with the binofit function in MATLAB; command is: [estimate,interval] = binofit(0, 3e6)

This is correct. Can anyone figure out the math for how many different possible ways the season can play out from now? WCS AM still being in the ro16 really makes it a huge number.

Also check the one where all players are equal.

So is there any chance of both Scarlett and Naniwa making it to blizzcon?
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Yes, it's not too remote. It's largely out of their hands though. Easily put, if Scarlett gets enough points to push Revival out, Naniwa or Scarlett will have the 16th spot. Then it's just a question of whether or not the other contenders overtake them (the realistic ones are Dear and soO if they do well in the season finals, and Hyun if he gets to the season finals). Vortix, Trap and some others COULD get into top 16, but they would have to pull major upsets.

There is. It would happen in the followin scenario:
- Scarlett makes it to top 6 in NA
- Hyun does NOT make it to top 6 in NA
- SoO finishes 2nd in Korea and does not make it to ro4 in S3 OR wins Korea but lose in the early rounds of S3
- There is no major upsets such as Sen or Vortix winning S3 or Dear winning Korea and S3.

First, let me say that this is really impressive. I'm glad you're getting the credit you deserve for this.
That said, I believe that your program is somewhat flawed. Maybe this post will help you make it better. I think that when your program is saying that someone makes BlizzCon 3mm out of 3mm times, it is saying that they have clinched a spot. But that's not true in the case of MC and I don't think that's the case for sOs either.

MC is currently 10th in points with 3775. So if I can give you a possible outcome for the remainder of Season 3 where 7 Players pass him, who currently trail him, then something is wrong. Here's one such example.

First, MC finishes 13th-16th in the S3 Finals leaving him with 3775 Points
1. Maru finishes 9th-12th in the S3 Finals giving him 3925 Points
2. Duckdeok finishes 5th-8th in the S3 Finals giving him 3800 Points
3. Soo wins the S3 Korea PL and finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals giving him 3800 Points
4. Scarlett finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 NA PL and 5th-8th in the S3 Finals giving her 3800 Points
5. Hyun finishes 2nd in the S3 NA PL and 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals giving him 4200 Points
6. Vortix wins the S3 Finals giving him 4650 Points
7. Oz wins the S3 NA PL and finishes 3rd-4th in the S3 Finals.

MC will probably make it, but this is definitely not the only possible outcome where he doesn't.
I can also provide examples where sOs ties for 16th, but I won't list that in the interest of keeping this post readable and I'm also not sure if Blizzard has said how ties would be handled.

I hope this helps.


Keep in mind though that 100% is not actually 100% but rather 100% +/- a certain margin of error. Also there is some external factors other than player statistics that can be deciding. There is for instance 25% chance that Oz is going to meet either Hyun or Scarlett in ro8 in NA, which would make this scenario impossible. At this point much can be decided by whether two potential candidates are going to meet in a single elimination match or not.

Also the chance of your scenario actually happening is 0% since it would require both SoO, Hyun and Oz to finish 4th or 3rd in S3.

So it looks like it is a battle for two spots between Naniwa, Sacrlett, soO and HyuN ...

... unless somobody unexpected wins the S3 finals, as the poitn system is so top heavy that when you win a season finals, almost nothing else matters

really nice thread, don`t forget that Revival probably will maintain hes premier league spot, that means he will have also 3200 points, same as naniwa, so hes changes are almost same as nanis.
I just really hope 1 foreigner can make it.
Also, I really like hyun, but I want something like this in TOP6 NA, Polt, Jaedong, Hero, Taeja, Scarllet, Huk, with Jaedong, Hero, Taeja MMA to finish top4 at S3 finals. just a dream

Please for the love of god let a foreigner make it through, Scarlett or Naniwa (or both) would be fucking awesome. They could at least compete with the Korean powerhouses that will be there
