There are a total of 15 matches between us and Blizzcon. Boy, there's a thought, eh? Fifteen matches between us and the ultimate results. A mere fifteen matches until the dust settles and the bracket is ultimately set. And then only 15 more matches before we can crown a new world champion. Damn crazy.

Pigbaby is in if he gets to the finals in WCS AM
Scarlett, HerO, ForGG or Bunny are in if they win their WCS
Heart, HuK, YoDa, INnoVation and Golden need to win their WCS plus they need help from other players
Snute needs to have soO win WCS KR AND to have Polt HyuN or Bomber win WCS AM AND to have San, MC or MMA win WCS EU AND to have Pigbaby not get to the WCS AM finals
Jaedong I haven't done the math but I think he's the same as Snute except he needs to get three out of four conditions listed for Snute, whereas Snute needs all four

Yoda and Happy can also win WCS EU for JD/Snute to make it in.

EDIT: Well, Yoda winning would actually tie Snute.

should Yoda and Snute tie, does the player with more points from WCS seasons get the slot?

The way the rule works is if there's a tie for placing WITHIN the top 16 (i.e., both players make it to Blizzcon in any case but you need a tiebreaker to determine their seed), the player with the most points from WCS events wins. But if there's a tie for getting INTO Blizzcon then you have what happened between NaNiwa and Revival last year and they'll play a tiebreaker series.

Snute's highest placement is 16th right? so that would mean a play-in
thx for refreshing my memory anyway, didnt have the time to look it up

Pigbaby getting 2nd place is only enough to get into top 16 if he's only the only player below top 16 to win their respective WCS regions. For example if Innovation wins WCS KR, then he pushes Snute out and JD is #16 at 3200 and 3000 points from Pigbaby will not be enough to get top 16.

Could anyone explain how Solar can have more than 0% chance to go to Blizzcon?

Started to think about this after DreamHack Soo vs Solar game 2 when Incontrol said if Solar wins, he has said
"What a big deal it would be for him. A major tournament win here. Getting closer to Blizzcon. Kind of announcing to the World: Hey! I am Solar...."

Solar does not have any chance go get into Blizzcon, he is ranked #18 and has no tournaments left to play in. Maybe Incontrol just meant that it's an achievement for Solar to "get close" to Blizzcon.

Pretty sure that #14 is already qualified for Blizzcon?

Yes, 14 people are confirmed to go at this point. WCS decides the other two.

golden can go to blizzcon too, if he wins wcs europe, AND forgg/bunny are NOT in the finals AND pigbaby is not going to finals, AND hero/innovation/scarlett do not win their wcs

although this is very unlikely to happen.

It's weird, because I remember Golden having a 100% chance of going to blizzcon if he won WCS Europe this season, before the season started. Might have been extremely close to 100% though.

I think DH Moscow and Stockholm weren't even announced back then? I could be mistaken though..

Yes, but there were multiple placeholder tournaments to compensate for this.

I think the aligulac ratings fluctuating as time goes on also plays a factor

I can't find a simulation that gives Golden a 100% for that, but I did find one that gave ~98.5% from 60 days ago

~ 2.78 % of the time
Golden gets 1st in WCS EU S3 Premier
This would change Golden's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 3.26 % to ~ 98.45 %

for comparison it's now

~ 7.27 % of the time
Golden gets 1st in WCS EU S3 Premier
This would change Golden's Blizzcon chances
from ~ 2.27 % to ~ 31.18 %

So if you assume that each match is 50/50 that means that about 6 or 7 relevant matches went against Golden's favor.

Sure, but Golden's aligulac rating has been pretty stable since then.

I guess it was just a really high percentage. Interesting that the 1% seems to be happening
