A note on Playoff Chances:

A 6-1 finish doesn't mean they will make the playoffs at all.
OZ is currently in 9th place with a record of 23-25 and need to place 6th or better to qualify for the playoffs. 6th place is currently held by CJ with a record of 26-23.

If they go 6-1 like shalafi suggests and CJ goes 3-3 they would be tied for 6th assuming that Stars and Khan (7th and 8th place) don't do 6-1 or better themselves. In that case CJ would still advance since they have more points in terms of individual win/losses. It's a longshot for OZ to advance, they have to go at least 6-1 and CJ 2-4 for any chance and more likely 7-0, in which case the other teams still have to screw up.

Either way, I'm hoping OZ does it and the other teams fail.

If Oz go 6-1 and CJ go 3-3 it's not too unlikely that Oz will have a better differential though, as they are only of by 9 at the moment. Still it is true that Oz are depending on other teams to be able to proceed no matter how well they do.

Excellent LR thread. Definitely a winnable match for Oz, hoping they send Princess and he can nab a win.

It's not to hard to just tab up all of them from the OP is it?

Wowow nice op for just a regular PL match, but we know the last few games are huge for OZ fans. GO GO Jaedong~~

If only OZ can take it to ace match for the rest of the matches, JD will carry them to the playoffs. I believe.

LOL @ new hwaseung house!!!

Even if Oz makes it to the playoffs, what are their starting 6?

JD, Hiya... Lomo, Backho, killer, and... Perfectman?

Great OP, btw.

Awesome thread and awesome pics (it's the first time I'm seeing most of those).

I'm confident Oz will win 3-0.

Well yes, I meant "the games they have to win to have a realistic chance of getting into playoffs".

I didn't check the schedule, but apparently most of the teams they have left are relatively easy (no top4), so if they try hard they may do it.

Considering Oz has to go 3-2 most of the time, if they do reach a point where they get in or out depending on total game record, it wouldn't be too good.

I love watching Hwaseung because they are so bad that it often goes to ace

Yes, if Oz ties CJ for for wins, CJ has the edge with less losses and more indivdual game wins. So if CJ wins 3 games that means Oz has to go 7-0. If CJ wins 2 out of 6 then 6-1 is enough for Oz. Stars is another player of competition, if Stars go 5-1 in their last 6 games they beat Oz regardless of how many wins Oz gets, and if they go 4-2 Oz has to go 7-0... So ultimately it is up to CJ and Stars loosing their games but Hiya and other players need to get wins too. The rest of the other teams are safe unless they lose every single game and the teams in 6-8th win like all of them.
