I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, but KRU has already qualified for playoffs due to map differentials. There are four outcomes for every match:
- Team A 2 - 0 Team B
- Team A 2 - 1 Team B
- Team A 1 - 2 Team B
- Team A 0 - 2 Team B
With the 8 matchups remaining in groups, that leaves 4^8 = 65536 possible outcomes to search through. It turns out that it only takes about 10 lines of code to brute force and sort all combinations. With standings sorted by match wins, map wins, then map differential, KRU comes out in the top 6 100% of the time. For all the NRG fans, there is still hope! In 7% of possible outcomes, NRG makes the top 6 and qualifies for playoffs.
Edit:
It seems I'm a tad sleep-deprived and forgot H2H comes into play; I'll add that to the code and then update the post. KRU still beat 100t and EG, so it's probably a high number if their chances aren't 100% with H2H.
Edit 2:
Correcting for H2H, here are the outcome percentages for each team to be in the top 6:
- LEV 100%
- SEN 100%
- G2 100%
- KRU 94%
- C9 81%
- 100T 56%
- EG 50%
- NRG 18%
- LOUD 0%
- MIBR 0%
- FUR 0%
Apologies for the mess up; thanks to those who pointed out the H2H. Looks like better news for NRG fans, worse news for KRU.
