Update 23rd: KespA players will not be attending MLG.
Updated 21st: KT is out. This is good news for SKT fans: If KT > Stars and CJ/STX is a stomp, than a close loss to ACE could be enough for a playoff spot.
Star fans can rejoice as well, as KT will most likely not be as motivated in their next match as they would have been if their playoff chances still existed. That's the same reason Khan fans should be angry at the KT crew. If Khan loses , SKT > Ace and Stars > KT, Khan is out!
STX/CJ: Pretty much the same situation: The winner still goes through. The loser now wont have to fear KT, but either Stars>KT or SKT> Ace means they're out.
Standings/Chances by 20th:
+ Show Spoiler +
Team 8 : If they win vs Khan they secure first spot. If they lose Khan gets first and Depending on how bad they lose and the the match between STX/CJ they will most likely get third place. T8 0:4 Khan and SKT vs ACE 4:0 would mean T8 would be fourth.
Conclusion: A close loss against Khan would secure third and give good chances for second.
Khan: If they win vs Team 8 they will take first place due to their map score. If they lose however, they could still drop out, because winner of CJ/STX will get second and if SKT > Ace (likely) SKT gets third and WJ > KT would get fourth.
STX: Winning against CJ would get them to second (T8 >Khan, allthough if the win 0:2, 2:1 , 1:0 , and SKT wins 4:0 , SKT would get second), or most likely third (Khan>T8), but there are a lot of possibilietes due to mapscores. Win = playoff spot secured, though no chance on first place. Losing : T8 , Khan and CJ will be 1-3 , and if either SKT > Ace OR WJ > KT , STX would drop out. if ACE > SKT and KT wins both matches, they would be out as well.
CJ : Basically the same as STX.
SKT: This will be close. If they lose vs ACE, they're out unless they lose close, CJ/STX loses high , , KT < ACE, WJ < KT. So yeah, they should win. If they win , they could get up to second if they win really high , T8>Khan , Stx/Cj is close . Most likely though is that they will get third with (T8>Khan) t8 and CJ/StX being 1/2 or fourth (Khan > T8 ) with KHan , T8, and CJ/STX being 1-3
Conclusion: Win = playoff spot secured (2/3) Lose = Map score decides, this will be pretty damn close!
Stars: must win against Kt, but since Kt is out, maybe they wont be as hard of an opponent now. If they lose, they're out. If they win , due to their good map score, they will get ahead of loser of cj/stx and than either T8>Khan or Ace > SKT would be enough for them to secure 4. If both hapens, they could even get third!
KT: The funny thing is, its not even that unlikely. The only real difficulty is that, Ace has to win against SKT.
KT needs 2 wins against Stars and ACE and that should be enugh for fourth place. Because the 1 match lost for the loser of cj/stx and 2 matches won for Kt should be enough for 4/5 maps difference in map score. SHOULD :D
Next Matches:
For fun
Most likely scenario: (busted)
+ Show Spoiler +
KT > ACE, STX > CJ (or switched), T8 > KHAN (no chance fanboys), Stars> KT, SKT > ACE
=
1. Team 8
2. STX (CJ)
3. SKT
4. Stars
Yes Khan and CJ (STX) are out , bam!
Most unlikely scenario: (still possible)
+ Show Spoiler +
KT < ACE, STX < CJ (or switched), T8 < KHAN (lol yeah right), Stars < KT, SKT < ACE
=
1.Khan
2.T8 (because it was a close loss)
3.CJ (STX)
4. SKT
STX (CJ) , Fourth place decided by map, will be damnn close

I will keep this thread updated as the matches progress.
That's the way to go out in style - deny a colossal team like KT or/and SKT a place in playoffs. ACE legacy complete.
