yes but not by much, WCS Predictor didn't detect it as more significant than other events but it did pick up MMA winning hurting Snute, so MMA losing would help by a similar amount of ~ 5 % or a little less since jjakji is slightly favored (edit oops I did WCS EU by accident lol, fixed)

This happens
~ 42.7 % of the time
MMA wins their next match in DreamHack Moscow ro2
This would change Snute's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 47.19 % to ~ 42.28 %

more stuff here on Snute's page http://sc2.4ever.tv/?page=player&player_id=111

I just reinstalled windows on my new SSD on my desktop so I can't run it on here until I get everything set up again but it takes a little under an hour on here and it gets faster as more tournaments finish (i7 950 overclocked to 3.5 ghz)

since I can't use my desktop I'm running it on my laptop (some new i7, don't remember which as I didn't buy it, it's from work) which takes about 3-4 hours for 30 million samples

MMA will probably get in... assuming he gets the extra 250 for winning the finals at DH he's also probably going to get the extra 300 points for going to the ro8 in his WCS group (he should be a heavy favorite to advance)

--------UPDATE Sunday, Sep 14 7:25pm GMT (GMT+00:00) KeSPA Cup and DreamHack Moscow Completed!
I also made Red Bull Washington only give WCS points half of the time since there's still been no announcement about it, and I added in the confirmed players for DreamHack Stockholm.
Here's the current Top 25 by Blizzcon Chances.
  1. kr HyuN (ROCCAT), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 5750
  2. kr Zest (KT), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 5550
  3. kr MC, is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 5200
  4. kr TaeJa (Liquid), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 5000
  5. kr Polt (CM Storm), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 4875
  6. kr San (Yoe), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 4825
  7. kr StarDust (mYinsanity), is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 4700
  8. kr Bomber, is at ~ 100 %, Min WCS Points: 4300
  9. kr jjakji (mYinsanity), is at ~ 99.99 %, Min WCS Points: 3350
  10. kr Classic (SKT T1), is at ~ 99.92 %, Min WCS Points: 3200
  11. kr Life (StarTale), is at ~ 98.64 %, Min WCS Points: 3125
  12. kr herO (CJ Entus), is at ~ 93.78 %, Min WCS Points: 3100
  13. kr Jaedong (EG), is at ~ 85.92 %, Min WCS Points: 2950
  14. no Snute (Liquid), is at ~ 75.12 %, Min WCS Points: 2925
  15. kr MMA (Acer), is at ~ 51.04 %, Min WCS Points: 2725
  16. kr sOs (Jinair), is at ~ 41.99 %, Min WCS Points: 2850
  17. kr soO (SKT T1), is at ~ 20.99 %, Min WCS Points: 2650
  18. kr INnoVation, is at ~ 18.58 %, Min WCS Points: 1725
  19. kr Rain (SKT T1), is at ~ 15.64 %, Min WCS Points: 2075
  20. kr viOLet, is at ~ 13.04 %, Min WCS Points: 2275
  21. kr ForGG (Millenium), is at ~ 12.73 %, Min WCS Points: 1675
  22. dk Bunny (Liquid), is at ~ 10.62 %, Min WCS Points: 1775
  23. kr Solar (Galaxy), is at ~ 10.36 %, Min WCS Points: 1775
  24. ca Scarlett (Acer), is at ~ 10.25 %, Min WCS Points: 1400
  25. kr YoDa (TCM), is at ~ 7.31 %, Min WCS Points: 1125


WCS Point Cutoffs
~ 0 % of the time 2,700 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon (a week ago 2,275 points was the highest with 0% chances)
~ 0.64 % of the time 2,725 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 0.96 % of the time 2,750 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon (was at ~ 23.52 % a week ago)
~ 49.23 % of the time 3,000 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon (was at ~ 89.1 % a week ago)
~ 99.99 % of the time 3,450 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 100 % of the time 3,475 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon (a week ago 3,600 points was the lowest with 100% chances)
The point cuttoffs are moving up! The 100% marker moving down is natural, since all possibilities are accounted for, the 0% and 100% markers should only move inwards.

Biggest winners and losers from the changes to Red Bull Washington and DreamHack Stockholm. The Red Bull change had a huge effect on sOs! (Red Bull, please make an announcement!) Snute had large gains mostly due to his confirmation of attending Dreamhack Stockholm, and I think the Red Bull change helped him too.

So the break will most likely be slightly above 3000. While the next DH is open and information on RBBG is inspecific, let us have look who can get to 3000 solely on WCS from those guys who are still alive in WCS but not already over 3000 in points (in brackets is the finish they need and how many points the would have). Thanks to the generous 2000 points for 1st place, there is a surprising number of people still maybe in the game (I would say much more than the Aligulac-based prediction shows at first look) - but it really depends on what the real cutoff will be! On the ohter hand, there are many of those for which even wining likely 1st doesn't help at all.

already over 3000: (P)Zest
not even 3000 for 1st: (T)Cure, (Z)DongRaeGu, (P)Stats

I made this mainly for myself as a straightforward viewing guide to the WCS Season 3. There are likely errors

edit: the moral of the story is that it is sometimes better to have less points rather than having more, but being already eliminated in the WCS. (Looking sadly northwards.)

Nice!
Here's the full list of WCS point cutoffs, you can see how big a difference 50 points makes near the middle

~ 0 % of the time 2,700 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 0.63 % of the time 2,725 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 0.96 % of the time 2,750 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 1.01 % of the time 2,775 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 1.01 % of the time 2,800 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon
~ 2.61 % of the time 2,825 points is enough to qualify for Blizzcon

Also there are currently 53 players with non-zero chances, partly due to the placeholder tournament. Only 40 players with over 0.01% chances, 35 over 1%, and only 24 players with over 10% chances.

What happens if you remove the placeholder?

It's quite interesting to see how far it is to 100% - is it some kind if inprecision/fault of the method or is it really so that there is some extremely contrived scenario where people get exactly the right amount of points so that 3550 is not enough? Can you see what the scenario is with one or two clicks? (if not, please don't go on a two hour rampage only to find it )

Anyway, if we stick to the middle range, the break would be between say 2900 and 3075 - that would mean that there are only 2 to 4 spots "for grabs" in most of the cases. That also really makes sense, because while a lot of points are still in the air, most of them are WCS 1st places and there can be only 3 winners

It only exists 25% of the time and it also has randomized player lists, so it doesn't make anything terribly likely. Removing it would probably bring a bunch of the 0.1% and less guys down to 0%, and some of the 99.99% players to 100%.

Here are some negative events from it to see how something not happening changes the chances, it's not by much since every event in the placeholder tournament has very low probability

~ 99.77 % of the time
soO doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change soO's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 20.96 % to ~ 20.78 %

~ 99.69 % of the time
sOs doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change sOs's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 41.96 % to ~ 41.78 %

~ 99.8 % of the time
viOLet doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change viOLet's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 13.03 % to ~ 12.88 %

~ 99.82 % of the time
TRUE doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change TRUE's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 0.02 % to ~ 0.01 %

~ 99.64 % of the time
Flash doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change Flash's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 0.01 % to ~ 0.01 %

~ 99.71 % of the time
PartinG doesn't get 1st in Placeholder Tournament 1
This would change PartinG's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 0.01 % to ~ 0.01 %

I wouldn't be opposed to making the placeholder tournament happen 10% of the time or maybe even 5% of the time instead of 25%. I don't want to entirely remove it though cause it safeguards me from a new tournament being announced, but also last minute player replacements (remember Revival last year? lol) since even if it doesn't predict a new player entering the tournament last minute it still has a very slight chance for them to earn those extra points from the placeholder instead, it just really prevents premature 0% and 100% chances for players.

It is from an extremely contrived scenario. Haha it certainly wouldn't be easy to get that info, but it's a good idea for a new feature, maybe late next year.

The thing to remember about that stat is that it doesn't mean there was a #17 player with 3550 points, but it means that the #16 player had 3575 points at least once in the simulations, while the #17 had maybe 3300 points (I looked around at the players' max points while NOT qualifying and I think the highest I saw was between 3300 and 3400). So maybe that's slightly backwards logic, but then again it does say "is enough" instead of "is not enough", I think it only really makes a difference for the extreme cases.

Yea your 2 to 4 spots up for grabs makes sense cause 12 players are over 90%, maybe more like 3 to 6 spots depending on how you quantify "up for grabs".

750 points, and it only has a 50% chance to give points.
