So the next version will fix the issue with redundant data, such as saying 2nd place improves their chances to 100% and then also saying 1st place improves their chances to 100%. Also it will no longer group events if the single event already gives them a 100% chance, for example it will not say if they make 1st place in S3 Finals and 1st place in WCS KR and then it would say them both individually, now it will only say them individually, this reduces a lot of spam when considering groups of 3 and 4 events. Here is ForGG as an example, which had a lot of redundancy before. (This run was done without aligulac)

Wow I didn't think the Dreamhack would be so important for the WCS, going from 59% in group stages to 61% in ro8 to 45% chances by finishing top8 for Forgg. Your if game scenarios make it seems like Forgg is probably going to qualify because it's full of 98% to 100% but there's nothing about losing in 2nd group stages of WCS or not qualifying fo the WCS finals which has a probably high probablity.

The things that help them the most are at the top of those lists, and it's capped to 20 items, so yes the events such as ForGG losing every match are not shown. I'm still not decided if I should sort the list by how much the events help them, or how likely the events are, or some mix?
edit: also the run that said 45% that you're looking at was done without Aligulac to make it run quicker, and with ForGG being the #10 highest rated player on Aligulac that really makes a difference for him, especially in WCS EU.

In my opinion I don't need to see 100% scenarios that are less likely to happen if there's already a more probable scenario that gives 100% with a bit of points everywhere. I'd rather see things like top8 Dreamhack + top 16/top8 WCS even if it doesn't look good. Anyways Dreamhack scenarios are not that important anymore as it's ending in a few hours.

The events are sorted by how much they help and then by how likely they are. So you can see the most likely 100% scenarios are at the top. The dreamhack stuff will be out once I run it again when dreamhack is over today.

Hello!

Thank you for your work, I think this is amazing and a great information to the community. Is there any chance that your program can also visually draw the way of failing to qualify? Just for the lulz? Like the poster above me mentioned SoulKey has a 0.0001% Chance to fail, in your program there are 300000 simulations/runs , could it show what needs to happen or what happened in those 3 that he failed?

^^

ForGG gets 8th place or better in Season 3 Finals
This happens 15.547% of the time. When it does, it changes ForGG's chances to 100%.
I dont understand the sentence "This happens xx% of the time". Does this mean ForGG has a 15.547% chance to 8th place or better in Season3 Finals?

I wanted to add a table to Liquipedia which tells us which players were guaranteed a spot at Blizzcon and when it happened and then I realized this thread might give the answer. But looking at the OP, there's something confusing:

With Aligulac probabilities:

Polt, 299999/300000, started with 3625 WCS points, 99.9997%

Soulkey WJS, 299997/300000, started with 3500 WCS points, 99.999%

Where every player is considered equal:

Polt, 300000/300000, started with 3625 WCS points, 100%

Soulkey WJS, 300000/300000, started with 3500 WCS points, 100%

How come? Are Polt and Soulkey actually guaranteed to go to Blizzcon or not? Intuitively, I'd think it was the other way around; when Polt and Soukey are weighted for their skill, their chances of going to Blizzcon should be higher. ... Right?

Just got to add that this is awesome work, though

@iMAniaC: Two possibilities occur to me:
1) Dumb luck. Perhaps the dice happened to fall poorly for Polt/Soulkey when the Aligulac probabilities were used.
2) I imagine the only possibility where Polt/Soulkey don't make it is where a number of other players ALL somehow make just the right number of points to beat them. With regard to the probability of that eventuality, Polt and Soulkey's skills aren't as 'important' in some sense as the skills of all of those other players who need to go a long way in whatever tournament. Taking the skills of all those other players into account might increase their probability of getting enough points to beat out Soulkey.

personally I would like to have them sorted by how likely they are to happen.

Im much more interested in the event that happens 30% of the time and improves the chances from 10% to 20% than the event that happens 0.001% of the time and improves the chances from 10% to 100%

You're assuming that it only depends on games where SK and Polt play, but it actually depends on how a whole lot of other players do. When everyone else is equal, less skilled players have a higher statistical probability of scoring major tournament wins.
