The NFL has a 16 game regular season, though, while PL had 54 this season. They need the stronger seed advantages to keep up interest for 54 regular season games.

MLB/NHL/NBA all have much longer seasons. Of course, MLB has a smaller postseason, while NHL/NBA first rounds are mostly ridiculous.

NFL has 1:16 ps-rs ratio (post season is max 4 games - 1/4 of season)
MLB has 5:162 or 7:162 ps-rs ratio
NBA/NHL has 7:82 (4 rounds = 28 games max > 1/3 of season - LOL)

SPL has 3:54 game ratio

MLB has the flukiest post season series by ratio while NBA and NHL are the most steady. NBA games are far more predictable NHL games though.
SPL is on par with NFL except when a single 7-set decides the winner in the Grand Finals.

Not sure where you're going with this?

NFL
Teams: 12 teams out of 32 = 3:8 (> 1:3).
Games: 16 game season. Playoffs are 4 games. 1:4.

MLB
Teams: 8 teams out of 30 = 4:15 (> 1:4).
Games: 162 game season. Playoffs are 3 rounds. At least 12 and up to 21 games. Assume an average of 18 (probably high). 1. (Somewhere between 1:13 and 1:8)

NBA/NHL
Teams: 16 teams out of 32 = 1:2
Games: 82 game season. Playoffs are 4 rounds. At least 16 and up to 28 games. Assume an average of 24 (probably high). 2:7. (Somewhere between 1:5 and 1:3)

In comparison, SPL
Teams: 6 teams out of 10 = 3:5 (Was 6 of 12.)
Games: 54 match season. (Was 55.) Playoffs are 4 rounds. At least 7 and up to 9 matches. Assume an average of 8 (no idea). 1:7. (Somewhere between 1:8 and 1:6)

TBH while I love the thundering conclusion of drama that a single best of seven, win or go home, gives to the grand finals, it would be much more equitable to play out the Best of Three like the other series (the 2008-09 league played the same format as the opening series).

Anyway, my point is that of all the major American sports, SPL has a postseason closest to MLB in relative duration.

These two teams have more finals appearances than all the other teams put together. One with a tradition of winning (sometimes back-to-back) and one with a tradition of omg-so-close-every-year.

When I see this match up, I imagine SKT is a force of good. Heroes who have long battled to keep a perennial evil threat (KT) from getting their claws on the chalice. Granted, last year evil grew too strong while good grew stagnant. The realm was lost. But now the champions of good have returned to restore peace and balance; return the realm to its former glory.

Realistically, a KT victory would prove that a 3rd-6th place team winning PL is possible. I hope we don't see it happen, as a constant reminder that we have a horrible, rigged format that needs to be changed.
