It would be better for Prime and all the other teams if KT doesn't make it. Because KT has the highest overall score from winning round 1. The teams wants to avoid giving them a chance to earn even more points.
So no matter if you cheer for any other team except KT, you want Prime to win today.
Also Prime CANNOT go below Samsung outside of penalty points. Why? Because Samsung lost to Prime and with a -3 to a -8 which is the same score as Samsung, they won their match during the round so technically Prime is in 7th no matter what.
Is it really the case that if Prime loses 0-3 there will actually be a tiebreaker game to determine who gets 7th place?! That would be the saddest game ever. Has someone actually said this? If people are just inferring it from the comment about how ties get resolved, I really think they are meaning ties to get into the playoffs, not ties for 7th place... I figure if Prime or Samsung both end up with 2-4, -8, Prime should just be awarded 7th place because they have more game wins and/or they won the head-to-head matchup between the two teams.
But yeah, as unlikely as it sounds, Prime 3-1 please.

head to head is not a tiebreaking criteria
it's effectively just record, map difference, and penalties (which is folded into map difference)
I was mad when SKT lost last match, but in round 2 they wasted so many chances and deserved to be in this situation However, as a SKT fan, I really hope to have tie-breakers)
And uh, I'm pretty sure the winner of MVP and CJ clinch number 2 spot. The winner would be 5-2 and the best KT can do is 4-3. Map differential doesn't matter here.
