So if Revival gets 1st or 2nd place he is ahead of Naniwa as he collected more WCS points (season 1-3). Naniwa just barely loses because he has like 400 points less. | ||

No, it is simply "Ties for qualification to the Global Finals If there is a tie across the Global Finals cutoff, the players in question will travel to BlizzCon to play an offline, best-of-five match to decide who will be seeded into the WCS Global Finals bracket." You must be thinking of the tie breakers just for seeding "Ties within the Top 16 seeded players Ties within the top 16 WCS players will be decided by cumulative points earned only in World Championship Series America, Europe, Korea, and Season Finals events. If a tie remains, it will be settled through points earned only in WCS Tier 1 events. If the players in question are still tied, seeding will be decided by coin-toss." | ||

This is imo good news for nani. Especially since if he gets the #16 spot, he might play Innovation and that went well the last time. | ||

WCS SEASON 3 FINALS Placements minimum needed in S3 Finals for surpassing NaniWa's (15th) 3.200p & to get to BlizzConn 1st place : Trap, Genius, Byul, Hack 2nd place : Vortix 3-4th place, RO4 : Dear, Soo, Oz ------------------------------------------------------- maximum ONE of the above to keep Nani in ! ------------------------------------------------------- and if that works out it's the situation with Revival : 1-2 place in group in Challenger = a tie with NaniWa ! (quite a big chance tbh) - guessing a deciding match later on if so.. | ||

Global Finals seeding will pit players ranked 1st and 16th against each other, 2nd vs. 15th, and so on, until all 16 competitors have been matched with an opponent. The good thing for Innovation right now is that a number of players are likely to pass him, making it more unlikely for him to get knocked out by Naniwa right away again.  | ||

In this situation, how can you say Naniwa deserves to go to Blizzcon more than Revival. I think Blizzard did really well by implementing this (ad hoc ) solution, and forking out the money to fly these players to Blizzcon. | ||

Those IEM welfare points were a bit of a joke imo. | ||

To exaggerate this it would also not be fair to give them both 100 additional points so they could have a (possible) 3way tie with duckdeok. | ||
