11th guy in points currently has 60 points. How do you see him getting +35 in 1 match? (If its 1 match left, if its 2 then forget it.)

First, lets try to figure the points we need
Last season was 55 pts, so I would guess we need 85 pts this time ((55/4) * 6)
(This is an estimation, don't go quoting me if you don't make it with 85 pts!!!)

after 4 round, the point cut off for top 10 is 56 points
(56/4) * 6 = 84
So far it looks like my estimation is correct!

after 5 round, the cut off point for top 10 is 70 points
(70/5) * 6 = 84
So far it looks like my estimation is correct!

However no one will have 84, so (depending on the match ups, and who wins what) it will probably be possible to get in with 80 (or 81 :D)

Cutoff will be 90-95, you'll see.

well 95 is impossible (current 11th place cannot reach it, and there is no permutation that would allow every player in the top 10 to end up with 95+, using the swiss system)

90 might be possible depending on the mu, but I would highly doubtful, because only the rank 1-13 would have a chance, and more than half of them wouldn't be able to be in unless they get 1st place (and chances are that those 7 player will be in 2-3 match, meaning only 3 max would be able to get 1st place... would end up with 9 player... BUT it's possible)

your calculations are flawed, there can be game won by subs which would reduce the needed amount of points

The calculation from Renaud is made for a world with a purple sky, pink clouds, and chocolate houses and of course no orc race in wc3.

OK fine, 90-93.
