KT is losing the 1st place most likely, the similarity between KT and STX is that both teams usually decide their games through ace match, the difference is that STX almost never lose it and KT rarely wins it:-)

Well, KT is still 2 games up, with 9 games remaining. They're definitely on a slide though.

I havent felt that bad since WL.

0-6 in one week hurts a lot.

I think after todays games the 5th and 6th spot are still up for grabs.
dont think think hite and estro are still in contention though.
and Khan might be...but their point differential is really bad.

The race for 1st Place:
...............W-L.....GB....Games remaining
1 KT......33-13......0..........9
2 STX....31-15......2..........9

The race for 6th place:

.....................W-L....Games Ahead/Behind 6th Place
3 MBC..........26-20.......2..........9 Games Remaining
4 SKT...........26-21.......1.5.......8
5 CJ.............25-23.......0...........7
6 Wemade....24-22.......0...........9
7 Woongjin....24-23.......0.5........8
8 Hwaseung..22-24.......1...........9
9 Samsung....22-25.......2.5........8
10 eSTRO....21-27........4...........7
11 hite...........20-26.......4..........9

SKT wins and gives themselves a buffer.
CJ loses and drops down into a tie for 6th, although I think Wemade will win the tiebreaker if it comes down to it.
Samsung gets a huge win vs a streaking CJ, putting them closer to a playoff spot.
eSTRO loses and is basically out of the running.

not really. if they went 8-1 and their competitors went 5-4, they´d still be out of it. there is still hope, but its really really low.

Flash loses 2 ace matches in a row an suddenly KT rarely wins ace matches?

I like the way you present the information, Radfield. Good stuff.

There's not much difference playoff-wise for teams in 3rd to 6th place, so it's really just a race to get 6th. Although if SKT solidly takes 3rd, and they've got a good buffer since they've got a good lead on CJ and a game in hand - the team in 6th will have to face them and at least by SKT's 4-game win streak, with an 11 game individual set win streak, they're looking very strong.

SKT 5.5 games behind 2nd place...STX probably won't lose enough for SKT to catch up. Still, it'll be awesome to ride the momentum of a dominating R5 before the playoffs begin.
