Fnatic is automatically in the Gauntlet and will need to win it all. With 90 Championship Points at the least, their destiny of how hard their road will be is somewhat in and out of their hands.

The only scenario I can see that Fnatic will not be in the Gauntlet Finals is if the Playoff Finals are H2K vs MSF. The 2nd place team will not be granted Worlds but will have more points than FNC, putting them in Round 2 to face the winner of SPY vs UOL and climb the ladder there.

I believe FNC will need to win 2 gauntlet series to be apart of Worlds.

They should have the third most points, but either G2 or misfits will win the summer final. This means that they will have to win 1 gauntlet series. they will have he highest points for a team not qualifying for worlds.

Doesn't UOL have like 70 points from spring +20 from Summer - 90PTS Fnatic has 50 points right now but could end up with 90 total if they lose the 3rd place match.
What will happen if UOL and FNC tie in Points, if FNC loses the 3rd place match since they both would have 90 total ?

Team with more summer points is seeded higher. that would be Fnatic.

Whoever gets more points from the summer split wins the tie breaker. I think it is because they are assumed to be in better form currently.

I gotta check, but I'm pretty sure due to misfits being in the summer finals and having a decent spring performance they are guaranteed a spot at worlds now along with G2, essentially making the EU finals pointless now. Link's below to what I'm using as my "source".

I'v been using this as my source but at the time when I last checked it, it didn't include IMT and MFS. Interesting, that both IMT and MFS are going to be apart of worlds tho. Yeah, the EU finals and even NA finals are just for seeding now as all 4 are World bound.

Fnatic has only the gauntlet left.
G2 and Misfits are summer split winner and points qualifier in some order as a group 1 and group 2 seed.

Unicorns have 90 points and can't get any more.
Fnatic has 50 but will get at least 40 more. They will thus at least tie Unicorns and via more points in summer be ahead of them. Splyce has 30 points and can't get any more. H2k has 10 points and can get up to 80 but will have at least 50.

So we have a gauntlet of Splyce (30 max) vs H2k (80 max)
Winner takes on Unicorns 90 Winner Takes on Fnatic (at least 90) Winner goes to Worlds as a group 3 seed and must play in the play in rounds.

Some teams in here that need to get their act back together. Some teams that just underperformed the whole split and need to pick it up.
