The schedule is already pretty tight (6 hours for Ro16). Although they could hold a special play-in before hand (just not the day of) | ||

Its getting more likely by the day he's actually making it in, which would be really nice | ||

So what exactly are you trying to correct about slowbacon's post??? o.O | ||

These are his biggest threats (only one of them can succeed in order for Nani to stay top 16) : Oz : if winning the WCS America Oz will most likely pass Nani after the Season 3 Finals Season 3 Finals : any of Oz (if 2-4th place in America), Dear and Soo that gets into RO4 passes Nani Revival : passing if winning his group in Challenger (if 2nd or 3rd it's a tie, if 4th he stays behind) So as you can see it's roughly 50/50 (Revival should at least tie with Nani, one of Oz/Dear/Soo might get RO4). The drama continues tonite with Oz in the American Semifinals. Next weekend is the Season 3 Finals. In the following week is the American Challenger with Revival :-) | ||

Both 1st and 2nd place in his Challenger group will give him only 25 extra points. So he can only tie with NaNiwa. | ||

Depending on the result tomorrow for WCS America's last two spots, we may also have a very P-heavy season finals. | ||

He can't pass Nani, it raises also some hope of him becoming 3rd or 4th... ;-) | ||

And there is nothing saying he automatically forfeits them aswell just cause he did so in the bracket stage. He most likely will and definitely can tie Nani | ||

I thought he just automatically got his 25 points because the simulation mentions nothing about his challenger league matches. | ||

Let's be real, this is the only thing that matters. If he doesn't qualify, there will be rage, there will be match fixing accusations, and all around murdering of e-sports. | ||

He's the only player in the top 16 that hasn't placed top 4 in either a WCS season or a season finals. I mean I like Naniwa too but It's not like his performance absolutely deserved qualification. | ||
