DK has no choice but to work overtime against KT! Losing too many upsets and small games becomes foreshadowing

★ Game Horseshoe Original

DK vs. NS

DK lost a lot of Bo3 games in a row in the second stage of this year, and even lost a small game against DNF, which was the penultimate team a few days ago, which caused them to have a tight score in the closing game, and they had to beat NS 2-0 to get the fourth place, avoiding competing with KT for fifth or sixth place, that is, the group qualification of the third stage. As a result, DK still failed to achieve a clean sheet NS, which was also a small game that caused them to lose unexpectedly to DNF and was recovered.

DK defeated NS 2-1

In the past games, DK has been able to avoid a play-off with KT as long as he wins one more game. Before DK vs. NS, NS had 4 points, KT had 2 points, and DK had 1 point. If DK keeps a clean sheet against NS, DK is 3 points, NS and KT are 2 points, so NS is going to play an extra game with KT. And now the 2-1 result is that NS is 3 points and DK and KT are 2 points, so DK needs to play extra games with KT.

Why play a playoff match between the five or six in the first round of the playoffs?

This playoff is not for the playoffs, and DK is also disqualified from fighting for fourth place in the regular season if they can't beat NS 2-0. And in the first round of the playoffs, there is really no difference between who is five and who is six. However, the format of the third stage of the LCK this year is to be grouped according to the top 5 and bottom 5 of the regular season in the second stage. The top 5 advance to the Legend group, and the bottom 5 advance to the summit group. Similar to the LPL's peak and nirvana, there is no margin for error in the lower circle, so it is very important to advance to the top five.

The play-off between DK and KT will be played on June 4, and it is a Bo3 game, with the winner finishing fifth in the regular season and advancing to the third stage of the legend group, and the losing being the nirvana group that advanced to the third stage in the sixth stage of the regular season.

Who wins?

It's hard to say, the relationship between the two rounds is 1-1, and the small score is the same, so the result is this play-off. KT has performed well after the return of the top laner, and DK is still a team that relies more on the performance of newcomer Ueno, but the ceiling is indeed higher. Whoever wins, they will meet in the first round of the playoffs. And judging from the current LCK intensity rating, even if one of them falls into the Nirvana group, it doesn't seem difficult to get the first place in the group stage.
