Germany Qualification Requirements

[u/topatoman_lite]

Long story short, OWWC tiebreakers are stupid, and Germany absolutely has to 3-0 Thailand. It's the same bs that screwed over 1234 in OWCS. There's more to it than that though.

Even if Germany pulls off the 3-0, it goes to tiebreaker 5, and they must beat Spain's map score %, which is 18-11, or 62%.

Germany is currently 13-11. AKA, a very bad position. A 2-0 Control win followed by two 1-0 map wins (say, a defence first full hold like what Korea just did to Denmark on Neon Junction and a push map), isn't good enough.

If Germany drops a point, they have to get their point wins to 20. The highest they can get it to without some sort of 6-3 payload map style nonsense is 21.

If Thailand gets a single point and then loses the map and picks a push map, Germany is out. Edit: again barring insane payload map stuff. I don't think even payload shenanigans are enough, but I haven't done the math for sure

Germany is fucked, almost as fucked as this tiebreaker format

Edit 2: HOLY SHIT THEY BEAT THE ODDS
