2016 Circuit Points

NA: CLG's condition: CLG will have their spot to World lock in safely as long as they don't get 4th place and IMT don't get 2nd and C9 don't get AQ. CLG just need to get 3rd place at least to make it to Worlds from what I look at.

IMT's and C9's condition: C9, only way they will get to go to World is very poor in my thought. The only way they'll get into Worlds if they win first for "AUTO-QUALIFY" or if they get 2nd place (and IMT get 4th place) Basically, if C9 lose to IMT this week, the team for Worlds is decided.
It will be TSM, CLG, and IMT, because if C9 gets 4th or 3rd they will still have the least pts qualify to Worlds anyway.

TSM's condition: They'll get their spot to Worlds as long as C9 don't get FIRST PLACE, but if C9 did get first place. TSM must not get 4th place to qualify.

Conclusion: Basically as much as I want C9 to win, I don't think they have a chance to get 1st or 2nd place. So the 3 Team in NA would probably be TSM, CLG, and IMT

EU: I don't care about EU

KR: The 3 Team is already decided and it will be: SKT, KT, and ROX

LPL: The 3 Team is already decided and it will be: IMay, EDG, and RNG

IDK why but I have a feeling that Cloud 9 will beat Immortals this weekend 3-2.

You ignore the fact that the Circuit Points qualification is only for the 2nd seed for each region (except LMS), 3rd seed is decided by Regional Qualifiers, so while several teams may be pretty much shoe ins (with some already having enough points from their minimum placement), SKT and KT could still get screwed, same with iMay and IMT or even CLG and TSM I believe. The only teams that are for sure going to Worlds atm are ROX Tigers from the LCK, Royal Never Give Up and EDward Gaming from the LPL, and G2 Esports from the EU LCS. Everyone else is still pretty much a wildcard and if C9 beat IMT, they have a pretty good chance at being the 3rd seed by running the gauntlet.

I can cover EU, for the lolz.

G2 has already qualified for Worlds. They could drop to fourth and still get a free ride.

If H2K beats SPY, they're in Worlds. If H2K loses to SPY, and gets 3rd place, and SPY loses to G2/UoL, H2K is in Worlds. If H2K loses to SPY, and either they lose the 3rd place match (and G2 beats UoL, otherwise, UoL beat SPY and the setup is G2/UoL/Qualifier team), or SPY wins in the finals, SPY gets the second spot.

That's all the situations for the AQ teams. The regional qualifiers are going to be silly. GIA will be in the first round with a lower seed, guaranteed. Everyone else, including FNC, depends on the performances of UoL, SPY, and H2K. One of the three will autoqualify, and the rest will be in the gauntlet.

I am kind of curious to see how G2 performs now that they know that they're an auto lock for Worlds due to points even if they don't do well in the play-offs.

On one hand, it might make sense to not blow everything going all out here. Save some energy. Take the extra time to focus on potential strats and study the other Worlds-bound teams from the other regions. Don't throw, obviously, but also don't sweat it too hard.

On the other hand, given how badly the organization was criticized after their "we're on vacation" performance at MSI, allowing that lazy attitude to crop up again could cause major problems both in terms of public relations as well as player mindset, since getting out of a slacker mindset can be difficult.

Personally, I'm still hoping UoL finds a way to win since a First Place finish is pretty much their only real chance. They don't have enough points even if they finish second to qualify and said lack of points would also put them pretty far back in the Gauntlet where they'd need to pull a C9 level miracle to get through it.
