They said during the broadcast that if SKT wins they're confirmed for the grand finals. I don't think any TL user actually checked the math but I assume they're right.

If CJ wins next round and wins the round playoffs, don't they have 364 points? SKT could have fewer than that.

yeah. You would need a 91 point lead to clinch and they only lead CJ by 60

Hmm. Yeah that's true. Would require SKT to finish worse than 3rd in round 4 which isn't impossible either. Huh.

If they finish fourth and lose the quarterfinals in the round playoffs, they also have 364, so they aren't 100% confirmed unless they're guaranteed to win a tiebreaker. So that seems right.

Now I'm wondering what kind of voodoo magicks were employed to make everyone at the SPL think SKT is confirmed for the finals by winning this round.

I mean, SKT not making the round playoffs would be pretty incredible. They'd have to do worse than one of SBENU, Prime, MVP, and Samsung. CJ also has to win and they got crushed in the playoffs this round.

Maybe they were simply talking about the season playoffs as "finals".

Nah they were talking about the meaning of a win today. Pretty sure there was no way SKT could get knocked out of the top 4 after this round even if Jin Air won today.

Well, SBENU was close to the round playoffs and CJ almost 7-0d round 2. But yeah, it's not likely whatsoever.

KT can't finish ahead of SKT, so SKT is at least third.

After round 4, SKT can be only 1st or 2nd. The 3rd place looks feasible because JinAir can jump them - that would need SKT do be 8th in the RR and JinAir to win it and the playoffs, leaving Jinair exactly 1 point ahead. In that case however there are not enough points left for CJ to jump SKT as well, even if they were second and second, they would trail SKT by 9 points.
