Thanks for the write up!
Can be eliminated if regardless of other results if: They lose 0-3 to CJ Entus AND PartinG earns a penalty point by smashing a steel chair over Coach Park's head.

My favorite scenario by far.

Rofl, that's a lot of specific creative imagination to be just that - did that already happen by any chance ??

Ok.. so after today's matches:

As long as KT can get 2 wins in their match against Prime they're in.

If they win 3-0 they'll be guaranteed 3rd place. Any other victory can also secure them 3rd place but they'll need help from MVP vs. CJ match. Speaking of that, whoever wins that match gets 2nd place. Jin Air clinched top spot already.

If KT loses 2-3 they'll be 4th and whoever loses MVP vs. CJ gets 3rd place regardless of score.

Now here come the interesting parts.

If KT loses 0-3, they'll be out at 7th, while SKT, IM and Prime get all tied up at 3-4, -1. I'm not too sure where to go next. If you count win-lose relation, then SKT should get 4th place, having defeated both IM and Prime previously. However, if you count the total number of wins, Prime will actually be in the lead.

If KT loses 1-3, Prime will be out at 7th. KT, IM and SKT get tied up at 3-4, -1. Same confusion here. In terms of win-lose relation it's a 3 way tie (SKT > IM, IM > KT, KT > SKT). If you count total number of wins, KT will be in the lead.

Ok so I didn't see the part about Prime's penalty points. In that case, if KT loses 0-3, SKT should be in at 4th.

Why is SKT1 so bad all of a sudden? This is very sad to watch. This new HeadCoach really that bad? What's up with Fantasy crushing my hopes?

Prime please win. I think it might be doable as long as KT played like they did today.

Creator>TY is possible
enis will have to cheese the hell out of Flash hopefully it works

I think there's a significantly higher chance of State beating Zest than eins beating Flash. If State doesn't take a build order loss and can pull off a clean strategy, PvP is a much more volatile matchup than TvT.

That said, KT still has a big edge here, but it would be great to see Prime pull an upset, even if it doesn't mean anything from a playoff perspective. MKP must not be feeling great about that pause and Korean 'gg' that earned Prime the penalty game loss. I think without it there would still be at least a possibility that Prime could finish 4th?

Agreed.
Zest/Flash are almost sure wins on paper, but then again Flash might decide to do a 15cc vs 2rax or something.
Jokes aside, Zest and Flash are clearly expected to win. I would say Stats/TY vs MKP/Creator is equal or maybe slightly KT favoured. I expect a 3-1, anything worse would make me really scratch my head wtf KT is doing.

State getting bad luck in his draws. Classic then Zest, 2 of the top 5 Toss in the world right now. At least Zest is less likely to cheese... but that's what I thought about Classic. GL State.

Hope State cheeses Zest. Proxy 2 gate seems to be super popular since IEM finals. I laughed when herO used the exact build Rain beat him with to then beat PartinG.

Damn I've just decided to start following ProLeague since today's games, but seems like the point system is a bit of a clusterfuck.

I'll just enjoy the games then.
I will live in Korea no matter what.
