So, using educated guesses or just guessing.... What is the lowest rating that will win an invite?
1840-1860.
I can almost guarantee the #41 seed in NA will get into Worlds. Since T8 of US Nats will be passed down, 25+8 = 33. And T4 of Canada and Mexico Nats will be passed down, 33+4+4 = 41. So you really have a shot as long as youre above 1830. Depending, of course.
Key word is "almost." It reveals your lack of absolute confidence.
But seriously, I think that many lower seeds past 25 will make worlds this year. My bet would be a bit less generous than Umby's, since it's very _unlikely_ for all Nats placers to make the top 25 and directly below...So...Let's guess that we get trickles all the way down to 35.

It does. People like you and I will do well to play in Battle Roads...However, I'd rather have the Professor Cup, so I'll just be judging where I'm needed. : D
High-ranking players, let me reiterate this: do NOT drop nationals just for an invite unless you absolutely must play in worlds. It's lame to drop the year's second most important event for the sake of "the" most important one, so only do it under extreme circumstances.
...Plus, it "should" be easier to make Worlds this year via grinder
I would never drop Nats for an invite. (As much as I would kill to go to Worlds)
In my opinion, play every tournament to win. Not 4-0 drop.
*high fives you*

I have to disagree on the play every tourny to win. I go into everyone expecting to loose. If someone goes 4-0 and drops at nats because they want an invite that just shows that they know how to play the system.
