Stars has 26 wins and only two more matches, while SKT and CJ already have 3 more wins. Stars can make playoffs if FOX loses both of its remaining games, Stars wins both of its remaining games. Actually, if this is the case it doesn't matter what OZ does since the max differential increase for OZ is +9, bringing OZ's differential to 8. Stars with a 12 differential currently can just use that to secure its spot if this happens. Of course, with FOX facing ACE and KHAN I see them winning at least one of the games, even if Stars can win both its games against eSTRO and a slumping STX. In that case, FOX will have secured a spot in playoffs due to differentials. | ||

Even if Hwaseung wins 3 and SKT loses both its matches, it comes down to win differentials. SKT can 1-3 both remaining matches, and still come out ahead, regardless of how Hwaseung does. | ||

Another good battle though is for second, if they play like now MBC has a good shot. And if its same point differential, highest head to head record secures the spot, though it hasnt happened before. | ||

Seriously though, I really do think that OZ has a chance. Sure it is slim, but if ACE win 3-1 then CJ will be 29-26 +2. That means that OZ just has to win it's remaining 3 matches to pull to 29-26 as well and that means that they will at the very least be +2. If CJ loses in an ace to ACE then oz would just need to win one of the last three 3-1. I wonder what the following tiebreaker is.... | ||

After MBC vs. CJE, EST vs. HIT: Hmmm so let's see. KHAN at this point is out I think. WeMade holds the 6 spot and even losing 0-3 0-3 in their last two matches (losing 0-3 to ACE would be massive lulz though) FOX would still be at 28-27 (+9) while KHAN can only win 3-0 3-0 to bring them to a final 28-27 (-7). I mean though, we already knew that whichever one between OZ and KHAN lost the head-to-head would be out completely. For Stars to qualify, they have to win their last two games and FOX has to lose their last two games. The differentials won't matter at that point since if FOX loses both of its games there's a guaranteed -2 at least and the opposite (minimum +2) for Woongjin also holds true. For this to happen conclusively though, Stars needs OZ to lose at least one game, since after that the differential between OZ and Stars will lead Stars to victory. OZ could potentially still kick CJ or FOX (or SKT lolol) out. CJ has one more game against ACE and it's going to be (can't believe I'm saying this) close. I can think of some advantageous matchups for ACE involving RuBy > EffOrt and Reach/Much/Anytime > sKyHigh, though despite their recent run ACE is still the underdog. If CJ loses though and OZ wins its next three games, OZ can overtake CJ if the differential difference shifts by at least 6, so CJ 1-3 ACE and OZ 3-2 3-0 (lol hite) 3-2 would do it. To overtake FOX, OZ has to hope WeMade loses its last two games while winning all three of its own. If OZ loses one game, then the differential favours WeMade since the most FOX can lose is -6, bringing them to +9, and the most OZ can gain with losing one game (2-3 3-0 3-0 <=lol Killer ACE 2-3 match) is +5, which isn't enough to overcome a 16 point differential. Of course, in this purely hypothetical world OZ can also take out SKT if they 3-0 SKT tonight and 3-0 3-0 their next two games while SKT goes 0-3 or 1-3. That puts OZ at 29-26 (+8) and SKT at 29-26 (+7). That's as likely to happen as Killer winning an Ace match. In other news MBC could overtake STX for the #2 spot. STX plays Stars and SKT so they could potentially finish the last two games 0-2. and as long as MBC wins one more game than STX does in these last two its differential will give MBC the #2 spot and a road to the semifinals. Given how much STX sucks this round, I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen. | ||

Meanwhile I doubt that Oz will be able to win more than two out of three with opponents like that. i know its a bit of hibris but hite is a free win for oz oz is favorit to win skt and mbc will be hard to beat but thinking of what on the stakes i cant see oz not fighting till the last breath while other teams face less horrific situation like mbc or hite (out of the playoff ) | ||
