Estimates use 5,000 simulated seasons. A very high forecast is distinct from a secure mathematical path. Movement compares with a reconstruction after the previous week.
Kelayakan playoff
How can
AC reach the top 6?
Meet every condition in one row.
| Route | AC wins | Rivals lose | Scores | Chance | Finish* | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 4+ / 4 |
| 2–0 / 2–1 | 0.01% | #6 |
+ = at least · *Example finish · Chance = model estimate
How to read
4+ / 6 means at least four wins from six remaining series. Rival counts mean losses. All conditions in a row must hold.
“Other series: ≥1 map” applies to every remaining series outside the required sweep wins. Unlisted rival results can vary.
Chance is the likelihood that all row conditions happen from the recorded cutoff. It uses the selected forecast model. Rows overlap; percentages do not add to 100%.
These quick routes are sufficient examples. All scenarios below covers every qualifying rival combination under the configured rules. Specific match scores are one example.
All scenarios
Choose exact wins. Meet both rivals’ conditions.
All outcomes checked
1 scenarios
| Below AC | Losses needed | Tie on wins | Chance | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Below AC’s GD | 0.01% | #6 |
+ = at least · GD = maps won − lost · Chances overlap
Scenario rules
Select exactly this many remaining series wins. Both rivals must meet their loss totals. If tied on wins, compare each rival’s final GD with AC’s. More losses remove that tie condition.
Secure mode requires rivals strictly below AC. Include tiebreaks allows equal final scores; a cutoff tie does not guarantee qualification. Loss counts include matches against AC.
Chance is the likelihood of exactly the selected wins and both rivals finishing below the team (or tied in Include tiebreaks). It includes all matching score combinations, rather than only the example. Rows overlap.
Every group has a legal full completion. Groups overlap and their count is not a probability. All outcomes are checked under the configured scoring rules. Scores show one example; Try applies it to the simulator.

Percentages estimate top-six qualification; changes are percentage points against recorded results at the selected cutoff. Qualification and win guarantees use series-win bounds with adverse ties under the stated scoring assumption. A 99.9% estimate does not prove a secure berth. Small percentage changes may be simulation noise.

Attainable rank bounds
#5–8
Path to a secure berth
Series wins alone cannot guarantee a berth in these bounds. Rival results or the eventual tiebreak resolution can still matter.
A possible route
At least 3 additional series wins are needed for any qualifying route. That is a possibility, not a guarantee.
Winning every remaining series still leaves a dependency on rivals or tiebreaks.
Rank bounds use series wins only: favorable ties for the best case, unfavorable ties for the worst. They are wider than forecasts using game difference.

Forecast method and assumptions
Recorded snapshot: 22 Sept, 11:16 MYT. This view uses a dated capture and does not automatically update. Missing scores remain pending.
Six teams qualify. Forecasts rank series wins, then game difference; unresolved ties share places. The detailed season tiebreak rules are unconfirmed. Qualification guarantees apply only under these scoring assumptions.
The strength model combines opponent-adjusted season map strength with the pair’s head-to-head map record. Direct meetings are excluded from the season prior, then blended back with an eight-map prior weight. BO3 probabilities assume independent games with fixed matchup strength. Scenario chances sum all matching fixture outcomes exactly under this model. The equal-strength baseline gives both teams a 50% map chance; it describes the fixture structure rather than predicting team ability.
Model season-strength-h2h-prior8-v2; seed 1806. Typical maximum 95% sampling margin is ±1.4 percentage points. This measures simulation noise, not model accuracy. The model has not yet been calibrated on historical seasons. Draft, roster, patch, and injury effects are not included.
Historical weeks are reconstructed from this capture's results, not live snapshots saved at that time. Only results at or before the selected week train its model; later corrections can change a reconstructed history. Scenario scores never train team strengths.
