EG's Revival advanced in second place in his WCS America Challenger League group, earning him the 25 points neccesary to tie NaNiwa in the WCS point standings at 16th place. As previously announced by Blizzard, the tie will be resolved in a live, best-of-five match at Blizzcon. The winning player will advance to the 2013 WCS Grand Finals, also held at Blizzcon.
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.
Revival advanced in second place from WCS America Challenger League Group A, with wins against SeleCT and JonSnow and a loss against TaeJa.

Best possible outcome imo

I guess Naniwa's bounty wasn't quite enough motivation...

Just what the doctor ordered. More pre-blizzcon hype

Seems pretty unfair to Soulkey for getting first in points just to have to prepare for both opponents, but I guess if you want to win Blizzcon you have to prepare for quite a few (stronger) opponents anyways.

Hype trainnnnnn.
Goooooo Revival :D

Still can't believe revival got that IEM seed

I think Soulkey's thought process must be something like "I passed INnoVation in points and my 'reward' is I have to play either NaNiwa or a mirror match instead of a free win vs duckdeok?!"

Inno is laughing his way to a RO8 match against Maru ._.

Mvp should be the higher seed if alive doesn't get any more points from WCS AM Challenger since Mvp has more points from WCS.
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.
