Even though Lilbow/ForGG/sOs aren't scheduled to go to Dreamhack yet, that doesn't seem like a 1 in 5000 chance. Meh.

I mean, first they have to both make the finals, then Rogue has to lose the match vs Maru (probable, but it's still only like 60% not 100%), then the 2nd placer and sOs have to be confirmed to be going to Dreamhack, then sOs and Fantasy and the WCS 2nd placer all have to basically dominate it

that's a lot of stacking probabilities, it cuts down fast, I'm just gonna guess numbers to demonstrate how quickly this stuff piles up

50% * 50% (for the WCS semifinals matches) * 60% (for Rogue losing to Maru) * 10% * 10% * 10% (for the 3 Dreamhack confirmations) * 10% (for the WCS 2nd placer to win) * 10% (for Fantasy to get 2nd) * 20% (for sOs to get top 8)

that multiplied out to 0.00003% or about 1 in 33,333

I may just be a little out of the loop, but has there been any word on whether or not another edition of the KESPA Cup may be hitting (and if so would that be before the WCS cut off), or have those plans been abandoned?

There will not be any more tournaments offering WCS points for this year's Blizzcon, these lists are both complete

I actually ran the numbers myself since some of yours are really bad or weird and got 1/20k. So I guess 1/5000 is fine

Yeah, in my original post I mentally gave FanTaSy/sOs/WCS person a much better chance.

So, putting my balls on the table was the good choice. Now I'll go all-in with Lilbow, as he'll prob win it all.

Thanks for the clarification! Two seems like a bit of an odd number (here), but it's probably for the best, taking into consideration how much it would shake things up all of a sudden.

There will probably still be a 3rd KeSPA Cup, it's just that the scheduling won't work out in time before Blizzcon and before they need to finalize the players qualified for it.

KeSPA Cup 3 would still need to wait to figure out the GSL finalists for their seeding, the semifinals finish sept 25th, and they also need to do their own qualifiers. They also probably don't want to run their tournament on the same weekend as the GSL finals on Oct 4th, so they probably wouldn't be able to finish until at least like Oct 10th.

Is there KeSPA Cup S3?

EDIT: Could it possible be done the same was as HOTS CUP? Points goes to WCS 2016 if there is no time to do it before Blizzcon since they are busy with Proleague finals and much?

I don't have any information on that. But if they do it before Blizzcon then I kind of doubt they'll be giving 2016 WCS Points already.

Didnt Lilbow already mention, that he won't attend Dreamhack? I thought he said it in the interview during the groupstage.

I think he's pretty confident he'll win, and in that case he doesn't need to attend DH to be guaranteed Blizzcon (or does he ?). I'm sure he'll go there if somehow ForGG wins WCS, playing Blizzcon is a once in a lifetime chance even if you end up pulling off a jjakji or a San.

He is very nearly guaranteed if he wins WCS, but I think there is a super tiny chance that he could be passed?

Winning WCS puts him at 99.9994%, I could list some situations in which he wins WCS and doesn't qualify if anyone wants it (or anything similar? I'm bored anyways lol), will take a few minutes to simulate
