Hey all, we are in week 5 of part 1 of Phase 2. It's clash time. Here are the scenarios for clashes, including simulation odds:In NA, HeroesHearth Esports (6-0) and Tempo Storm (5-1) are already qualified, and Simplicity, LFM Esports, and No Tomorrow (all 1-5) are eliminated. There are two seats left. Competing for these last spots are Team Freedom, ENDEMIC Esports, and Team Octalysis.Let's take a look at where they stand in match record and all relevant tie breakers.Because Freedom and Octalysis play this week, there are only two games that matter.1) Team Freedom vs. Team Octalysis2) Tempo Storm vs. ENDEMIC EsportsThe other two matches this weekend have no effect on Western Clash (HHE vs. Simplicity and LFM vs. No Tomorrow)Because of this, we can actually make a grid. On the Left Side is the result of Team Freedom vs. Team Octalysis. For example, the second row (NOT counting the header row), 3-1, means 3 wins for Team Freedom, and 1 wins for Team Octalysis. On the top header row is the result of Tempo Storm vs. ENDEMIC Esports. The forth column (not counting the header column) is 3-2, meaning a 3-2 victory for Tempo Storm. If you look at the intersection of a column and row, I list the two teams that advance to Western ClashEdit: People asked for color:Short version:Team Freedom clinches with EITHER: Freedom win OR ENDEMIC lossENDEMIC clinches with a win or an Octalysis 0-3 loss (if both ENDEMIC and Octalysis lose, map score decides, with ENDEMIC holding head-to-head edge, thus winning map score ties)Octalysis clinches with a 3-1 win or better. If Octalysis wins 3-2, however, and ENDEMIC wins 3-2, it sets off a weird tie breaker that results in Freedom and ENDEMIC going. Let's look at that scenario.In this situation (Octalysis wins 3-2, and ENDEMIC wins 3-2), our above tie breaker table looks like:In this sitatuation, Freedom takes the #3 seed because the first resolvable tiebreaker (3-0 victories) eliminates Octalysis and then Team Freedom gets the 3-1 victory edge over Endemic.Then, the four seed is resolved by the Head-to-Head margin, meaning Octalysis takes it.This is easily the weirdest scenario, as it's the only way Octalysis can win and STILL not make Western Clash. If Octalysis wins 3-2, and anything but a 3-2 ENDEMIC win happens (3-1 or 3-0 win for ENDEMIC, or ANY win for Tempo advances Octalysis) Since Freedom/Octalysis play on Friday, this could created very palpable suspense for Saturday if Octalysis wins 3-2 exactly (again, 3-1 win or better clinches).NA Seeding Odds:Odds for each eligible team of getting each seed (simulated using a team's Elo score)In Europe, Dignitas, Method, and Liquid will hold the top 3 seeds for the Western Clash (with Method and Liquid battling for the 2 seed this weekend). From there, 3 teams have a chance at the final ticket to Burbank as the EU #4 seed. Here is where they stand with all relevant tiebreakers.This setups up that Leftovers wins if they beat Granit Gaming this weekend, as they will simply win on Match score. Fnatic and Granit both need Leftovers to lose to equalize match score and go to map score.Here's the programmer version:If Leftovers win -> Leftovers go to the Western ClashElse if Fnatic wins -> Fnatic goes to the Western ClashElse if Granit Gaming wins 3-1 or 3-0, Granit goes to the Western ClashElse (Granit wins 2-3 and Fnatic lose) - Leftovers goes to Western ClashEurope Seeding Odds:Odds for each eligible team of getting each seed (simulated using a team's Elo score)Gen.G, Ballistix, and Tempest are all going to the eastern clash.Gluck, Feliz, and Supernova are all NOT going to the eastern clash.It comes down to either Miracle or Team BlossoM taking the 4th seed. Conveniently, they play this weekend. However, it isn't as simple for BlossoM as "Win and you're in". Because of Miracle's big upset over Gen.G, map score will now be a tiebreaker if BlossoM wins.In short:This is the only game that matters. It kicks off as the first game on Friday morning.Korea Seeding Odds:Odds for each eligible team of getting each seed (simulated using a team's Elo score)
