Every other player in the top 25 of the ranking has made at least one quarterfinals, the same can be said for every player in the top 32 with Flash being the only one not to reach one.

Get 2nd in WCS/GSL should give more points, at least 1250.
Going from 8th to 3rd/4th gives a player more 250 WCS points same difference when going from semifinals to finals, but winning gives you +1000 more points than getting 2nd. I dont think it s fair for the second .
Maybe next year...

Zest will win, he is just too solid in any part of the game ( you should watch his gsl match vs life, amazing).

Zest has never played Life in GSL

Maybe if soO gets to the finals Zest will forfeit since he's already qualified. soO in Blizzcon is a lot better than a GSL title Zest.

Red Bull has points awesome, now sOs please win and jump over Snute

That would never happen. Why would Zest give up the chance to win a GSL? soO's not even his teammate

Since Cure and Innovation isn't going to be at DreamHack, maybe they asked to have the ro4 schedule swapped so that soO plays on Wednesday instead of Friday.

Ugh this is the fucking problem. After looking at these brackets... Its just looks like a stacked Dreamhack which is great and all but we all wanted WCS Global Finals to be the whole world, we wanted Kespa rubbing shoulders with everyone else. The only thing that can save this is if JD can win it. Other than that it'll feel just like another Dreamhack and not the world fucking finals.

soO can't beat stats. It's over.

I don't understand how Snute can have such a high chance when some players below him have more potential points.
Snute only has Dreamhack to secure his spot at Blizzcon.
soO has Dreamhack and GSL. Granted soO is facing some really scary Protoss players, but I still see him having a greater chance due to more opportunities. That is if he can attend both, because there might be scheduling conflicts.

Immediately after I do that big analysis, Dreamhack screws it up lol.

Also Snute losing immediately in DreamHack still has a better chance than soO because Snute has many more points already.

No offense, but this should have been a pretty obvious conclusion at the start of the 2014 system with the changes they made.

Jaedong's example this season is pretty much biggest thing which should force the system to change, because Jaedong hadn't done shit whole year and still almost guaranteed to advance until everything flops hardcore.

i guess for the next year you need to also predict scheduling conflicts and include that if someone gets too deep in wcs they will not sign up for dreamhacks. also you need to guess how much travel money each player gets and run only scenarios where they dont overshoot the budget
