It's showing here that C9W is already qualified for Berlin(Couple days ago it wasn't)
If C9W is qualified now why are they playing the qualifiers?

For the money and pride

circuit points made them qualify. they are playing for the win.

since c9 is top 3 they secure 50 circuit points which means they get around 210 circuit points while shopify can max get 180 points hence they qualify through circuit points
