The round robin portion of Proleague Round 1 has ended, and the playoff brackets have been determined. KT Rolster, Samsung Galaxy, SK Telecom T1, and the Jin Air Green Wings advance to the playoffs, which will be begin on February 9th.
*Samsung Galaxy beat SK Telecom T1 in head-to-head.
The round 1 playoffs will begin with SK Telecom T1 facing off against the Jin Air Green Wings. The playoffs will be held in Bo7, all-kill format.
Wouldn't have picked Samsung to get 2nd before the round started but they've been doing well. Hopefully Maru can show some good games. would like to see him play someone other than Soulkey on SKT
So disappointed for SKT1. Not only did they fall out of first place with a loss to KT, now they are out of 2nd place with the loss to Samsung, and have to face a very strong JinAir team just to advance out of the first round.

why does skt1 mess up their rank 2 spot by losing to samsung.. i havnt seen the games yet but i am c disapointed if they may lose in the , semi ? , to jinair wich is a should be a stronger oponent then samsung. hey maru/sos tvp/pvp SKT1 FIGHTING !
Aw that was close for IM (Well, four games can be seen as close I think).
But on the other hand, SKT and KT were quite granted as playoffs contenders, JinAir was quite supposed to do fairly well, and Samsung did really well too (totally didn't expect them to do that well).
Op is a bit inconsistent. The asterisk in the image should point to that Prime got one penalty point, but the asterisk in the op explains that Samsung beat SKT1 head to head.
Anyways, sad that no former non-Kespa team made it in, but let's be honest, how much of the advance of Jinair was Maru's credit?
Haha, Khan jumped to 2nd place after last game, that's a great finishing touch from them! Now they gotta advance to the finals and beat the crap out of KT!! :D
I think the all-kill format really favors SKT because of their insane depth. Chances are you're going to have to beat Soulkey AND Rain AND PartinG AND one of soO/Classic/BrAvO/FanTaSy. That's rough. Shame that no eSF teams made it, I think they (particularly MVP) would have thrived in this format instead of the preparation-based Proleague format.
Flash, TY, and 3 code S protosses. We got this. Also sorry in advance to SKT fans... from first place to an early playoff elimination... must feel bad man ;P.
I'm a bit disappointed that the Playoffs are held in All-Kill format rather than Proleague. Even if it's a Best of 7 it means that at the most we'll only see four players from each team.
