WC3L analysis: what's next for each team?

WC3L only has two matches left, still the rankings are all set, but what will happen to each team now? GosuGamers shares what's going to happen with each team now.



For starters, the six top teams will fight for the four spots in the offline qualifiers, where the 1st and 2nd placed will immediately take a spot each - the four others have to be cut down into two teams. Placed 7th to 10th will have to fight one another to stay in the league, without having to re-qualify. 11th (together with "ThatsAllFolks") will have to re-qualify no matter what.

MeetYourMakers - still the only secure card


1st place we see MYM still standing strong. Five points ahead of the second placed, it is now too late to pass them. 2nd place is still not certain, as World Elite and SK-Gaming have the same amount of points. However, SK-Gaming still has one last game (SK.HoT vs mTw.Pato). If HoT wins that, he gives his team a ticket to the WC3L finals without having to go through the offline-qualification.

If HoT does not manage to win, World Elite will take that place with the same score as SK, as they managed to win the match between the two of them.

So who will follow MYM to the finals?


The winner between 3rd placed team and 6th placed team as well as 4th placed team and 5th placed team will follow MYM and the still unknown second placer.

South Korea We Are Go vs China Beijing E-sports Team


Close, but still far away


The teams placed 7th to 10th will have to fight in order to stay in the league without re-qualifying. Poor teams such as 4Kings and mTw were one and two points away from having the chance to proceed to the offline finals, but instead they will now have to fight to stay in the league instead. The losers in these two matches will have to re-qualify.

wNv's bad season


wNv looks quite strong on the paper with players such as Sai and TH000, still, somehow they placed last in this season, and will be punished by having to re-qualify (if they manage to do so).
