Sorry for my ignorance but I can't seem to find any information about the format of the playoffs.

If KT is to win here, will there be a game 3 or do they need to not lose more than 1 game?

Thanks in advance.

PL format for 2015 season:

When the regular season ends (reg. season = 4 rounds of round robin), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seed are determined. This year it's SKT, CJ, KT and Jin Air respectively.

Then the post season starts. This year (last year was a different format) we have a Bronze match, a Silver match and a gold match. Bronze match = 4th seed vs 3rd seed (Jin Air vs KT). The winner of the Bronze match moves on, to play the 2nd seed (CJ). And the winner then plays the 1st seed (SKT).

The Bronze and Silver matches are in fact a Bo3 matches; these 3 matches are played in 3 consecutive days. The first match of this Bo3 is played in regular PL format, the second is all kill format and the third is regular PL format again. Today we saw the first match (regular PL format) of the Bronze match (KT vs Jin Air). Tomorrow we will see the second match of this Bo3 (all kill format).

The Gold match is not like the Silver and Bronze matches. It is a single Bo7 played in PL format. This is the PL 2015 Grand Finals (sick production, outdoors venue, etc.) and it's all the first seed (SKT) has to prepare for. The winner of this single Bo7 is the Proleague 2015 Champion.

Hope it's clear enough. Don't forget to cheer for KT tomorrow.

The only thing that isn't clear to me is what is different from this year to last year. This sounds identical to post season 2014

Last year, the #1 seed nevertheless had to play a Bo3 against the #4 seed, while the #2 seed faced the #3 in another Bo3. The winners of each respective match met in the finals. This year, the #4 seed (Jin Air) face the #3 seed (KT). The winner then faces #2 seed CJ Entus in another Bo3 for the spot in the finals against #1 seed SKT.

So this year, the best team in the regular season doesn't really participate in the playoffs. Their "playoffs" is a single, Proleague format Bo7 - the finals.

You think? I dislike it, personally - I think that the advantage given to SKT is too big.

But last year's format gave no advantage at all. Where is the reward for performing the best throughout the season?
Some middle ground has to be found
