If you are wondering if your favourite UTS player will qualify for the end-of-year showdown, here are some possible scenarios! 

Alexander “The Bublik Enemy” will qualify for the UTS Grand Final in London if…

He wins Seoul’s UTS tournament, which grants a direct qualification to London.
(or) He is a finalist in Seoul’s UTS tournament.
(or) He is a semi-finalist in Seoul’s UTS tournament and Struff is not a finalist.
(or) He is eliminated in the round robin with two victories and one ALL STAR game victory. It would give him 9 points in total, quarter average would decide between him and Paire*)

Jan-Lennard “The Thunder” Struff will qualify for the UTS Grand Final in London if…

He wins Seoul’s UTS tournament, which grants a direct qualification to London.
(or) He is a finalist in Seoul’s UTS tournament.
(or) He is a semi-finalist of Seoul’s UTS tournament and Bublik is eliminated in Round Robin.

Any other player in Seoul will qualify for the UTS Finals in London if…

He wins Seoul’s UTS tournament, which grants a direct qualification to London.
He reaches Seoul’s final (that would give him 15 points) and wins one point during All Star Games AND Bublik and Struff are both eliminated in the round robin.

Gaël “La Monf” Monfils has already qualified for the UTS Grand Final with enough points from his UTS Los Angeles and UTS Frankfurt results

Players that do not compete in Seoul can also qualify depending on the results of players in Seoul

Diego “El Peque” Schwartzman will qualify if…

Bublik or Struff win the tournament
(or) Struff is not in Seoul’s Final
(or) Bublik is not in rhe semi-finals in Seoul

Note: his chances of qualifying are very high. The only scenario where he does not qualify is if Struff is a finalist in Seoul and Bublik is a semi-finalist there too (and has a better quarter average than Schwartzman, which is very unlikely given the current standings).

Benoit “The Rebel” Paire will qualify if…

Bublik and Struff are both eliminated in the round robin (and Bublik doesn’t score more than 8 points*)
(or) Bublik or Struff win the tournament (direct qualification) with the other one being eliminated in the round robin.

Before the London Grand Final, the next UTS event of the year will be Seoul as eight men fight for the title and a place in London’s Grand Final: Yoshihito “Yoshi” Nishioka, “La Monf” Gael Monfils, “The Machine” Soon-Woo Kwon, “The Bublik Enemy” Alexander Bublik, Richard Gasquet “The Virtuoso”, Jan-Lennard Struff “The Thunder”, Reilly Opelka “The Bot” and Milos Raonic “The Missile” are all signed up for the first ever Asian leg of the UTS Tour.
