EDIT: Also, if T8 can pull off a win against Stars, they can pull out of last place, once again pushing ACE to the bottom. But as easy as you think. Since it's sorted by win rate, they would have to win 2 games in a row to get a 41% win rate, 5-7. One win will only give them 36% win rate. | ||

Turns out that Team 8 would have to win their next match and ACE has to also lose their next match for Team 8 to pull out of last place. That's not impossible, though. Team 8 is certainly capable of beating Woongjin, and STX is resurging hard so they should beat ACE. | ||

I was thinking about the effect of the format change the other day. There were a lot of predictions that KT would suffer from the lack of Ace Match, but I think those were wrong. Allow me to explain... Last season KT were basically working like this: Flash and Stats give two wins. Then KT has four shots at getting to the Ace Match using their second string players. Finally Flash, and occasionally Stats, would show up to win the Ace Match. Flash and Stats managed a combined 6 - 3 in Ace Matches, including playoffs. But that's "only" 67%. This season the Ace Match burden has been lifted. Flash and Stats have to practice one map, which increases their win chance. This season they are a combined 16 - 3 (84%), compared to last season's 61 - 33 (65%), discounting Winners League. That's quite scary. On top of that, once any of the second string players wins, KT wins the entire match. The chance for Flash or Stats to be sniped in the Ace Match has been removed completely. In conclusion, I think that the removal of the Ace Match format didn't hurt KT much, but the shortening from Bo7 to Bo5 helped KT a lot. If I had to assess KT's chance depending on the format then it would look like this, from great to bad: 1) Bo5 + Ace Match = great for KT; able to win with just Flash and Stats, plus occasional help from others 2) Bo5 - Ace Match = good for KT; Flash and Stats can focus, 3 shots for the others to get one win 3) Bo7 + Ace Match = so - so for KT; 4 shots for the others to get it to Ace Match, then Flash brings home the bacon 4) Bo7 - Ace Match = bad for KT; need 50% win rate from the 2nd line, looks bad based on last season's results | ||

but now...CJ is sinking fast... Also, KT has been spending more money than other teams in acquiring players. Even if they don't show up often in games, they still help the practice environment a lot. | ||
