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 | ||

EDIT: Well, Yoda winning would actually tie Snute. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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...." | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Might have been extremely close to 100% though. 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. | ||

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