EPTSTX will go to the playoff
Warning : spoiler about recent proleagues matches
Prologue
I am excited. This season unlike the 2 precdents, no teams are far superior than the others leading to good games, more hype.
There is only 2 teams that wont go below the 4th spot and they are Samsung and lecaf currently 1st and 2nd of the rankings. They are leading with 1 or 2 more victories than the orther. They are not at all dominant.
The amazing thing when all 4 teams of the playoff are so close in skills is that its leading to over-fanboyism. Yes, fan can happily cheer for a team and believe that she can win the whole thing.
Remember last 2 seasons ? The R1 was a total domination by Samsung (4-0 in final), the R2 was a pure rape by Lecaf (4-1 in final).
Who seriously believed that the others teams had a chance ? At least not me...
Back to the topic, the 3rd and 4th team that will go to the playoff are not written in rock, there is still 4-5 match to play for each teams. So basicly, the 3rd and 4th spot are free and an epic battle beetween the 3 teams below will occur !

So closeeeee......
The 3 teams
SKT
The great SKT lead by Midas and Best. They have also Bisu, Fantasy, Canata to complete them.
Here is the list of their matchs played :

As u can see they have 5 match yet to play. 2 of this match are versus diffcult opponent Lecaf and KHAN, i expect SKT to drop one of this match, the 3 others are not against the best teams but they have the possibility to make an upset . I predict that at the end of the season SKT will have a record of 15-7.
STX
The great combinaison of Hwasin/Kal/Calm are doing well. But its the 2vs2 team July/SoO that impress me the most.... Also the new rising talent Yoonjoong is developping at an exponential rate !
Their list :

The only teams that can take them down (without upset) are lecaf who is currently 2nd of the rankings. STX has won previously against them and can do it again.
STX will win against Ace and estro easy but the match against MBC will be depending on the lineup. I expect them not to drop a single game ! And at the season their record will be 15-7
KTF
Great team, great lineup. Flash, lucifer, 815 and the oldschool lineup of Ra, Reach, Yellow can do a lot of damage.
Here is the list :

U can see that they have also 2 hard match, against Khan and Lecaf. I expect them to loose one of them.At the end of the season they will have a record of 14-8
The others teams
OGN can be a contender for the 4th spot but i dont see that hapenning
Wemade and MBC were also potential candidate but with the loss of Wemade by CJ and the win of estro over MBC, they stand at 9-9, they wont reach the 4th spot clearly.
Epilogue : I Believe
I Believe the top 4 will be Samsung, Lecaf, SKT, STX. KTF deserves a spot too but it will be for the next season.
What an amazing season ! 4 greats teams and no clear winner. The gap beetween them is so tight !
Also there is so many stories :
The possible lecaf vs Khan rematch of last season grand final
The resurection of SKT, who would have thought ? Can they go to the Top ?
The newcommer STX, who maybe will defeat them all !
(if KTF suceed to take the 4th spot there is at least a dozen of others stories ^^)
I believe this will be the best season i have never experienced before.

The gap beetween the top 5 teams is reducing !
Like i have predicted STX won against Lecaf, they have now 2 match easy (Ace, Estro) and 1 match against MBC who could produce an upset (but non likely)
Update 25/06

KTF lost against Estro O_O and MBC won againsst Ace
STX has so secure the 4th spot (i cant see them dropping) and so if its a 4 team playoff they are in !
