This happens 1.22% of the time and would change Flash KT's chances to 100%
----Flash KT gets 1st place in Season 3 Finals
----Flash KT gets 1st place in Korea Premier

This happens 0.862333% of the time and would change Flash KT's chances to 100%
----Flash KT gets 2nd place in Season 3 Finals
----Flash KT gets 1st place in Korea Premier

I don't understand this.

There's less of a chance (0.86%) versus (1.22%) to get second place in Season 3 Finals?

Hard work should be rewarded! Good job. Maybe Blizz should make you their statsman.

Indeed! That asserts the assumption we've all had that Flash wins more often when he's put in a finals!

That's a bit far away to get an accurate reading, and those are small numbers with a small difference. It might be true though, Flash is very high rated on aligulac and the bracket might work out in such a way that he meets his toughest opponent before the finals.

So 10 or 11 players have a very high chance of earning a trip to Blizzcon, and everyone else has to fight for the remaining 5 or 6 spots. :O What a war!

Also can't wait for the implementation of matchup-specific ratings

Very interesting read. When you are updating the OP please keep previous predictions still available. It will be interesting to see how they changed over time.

I guess the possibilities are calculated with aligulac help, right?

So here's a part of the point cutoff :
43.3423% of the time 3000 WCS points is enough to qualify
57.4237% of the time 3050 WCS points is enough to qualify
69.3907% of the time 3100 WCS points is enough to qualify
72.5907% of the time 3105 WCS points is enough to qualify
73.7887% of the time 3125 WCS points is enough to qualify

So if I understand correctly, a player like Forgg (ForGG 59.298%, started with 1950 WCS points) is expected to finish at about 3050 points right ?

Also a difference of only 100 points makes a player's chances jump up 25 percentage points. So you should at least grant the 75 minimum points to the ones qualified for IEM and also take into account the WCS Challenger league for Premier League players, which grants up to 100 points and minimum 25.

edit: well I'm not so sure about the IEM since they add so much randomness but anyways it just means the IEM make the whole thing more random and the ones invited/qualified get a mega huge bonus to qualify.

I like a system that doesn't require a math professor and a computer to work out basic chances of qualifying

Yes it does use aligulac's help and I do want it to use the matchup specific ratings soon

Wow... very impressive haha I find it interesting that Jaedong and Bomber are pretty much locked in to make it to Blizzcon. Especially Jaedong haha I guess being the next Kong helps get his points in foreign tournaments! Thanks for your contribution it looks like it took a long time to figure this all out!

It goes without saying that this is amazing and clearly exhaustive (and exhausting!), thank you for your work! I humbly propose the clearest presentation I could think of. I started from your explaining sentence,

"This means that 10.1397% of the time, MMA will get 16th place in the season 3 finals. When he does get 16th place, his chances to qualify for Blizzcon are 74.7506%."

and applied that same readability to the Players not still in Premier League section. I also moved some things around to quickly compare stats at a glance, and (hopefully) add clarity.

I like it, thanks. I'll try out that format for the next run. I found it interesting though that you sort the "game changers" by how much they help the player rather than how probable they are. Also I feel like putting the event over the probabilities will make it look weird when it's multiple events in 1 game changer?
