This is it —the final test for Prime this season. Will it be a second 0-7 in a row? More interestingly, will they get the two maps necessary to beat last season’s record?
In order of the way they were asked. Yes and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHANo
Anyway, KT was 31 points ahead of Sbenu before round 4.
Here are this round possibilities for Sbenu to pass or equalize KT in global rankings and make it to this year's playoffs: - if KT ends 6th or 7th, Sbenu either needs to make it to 2nd place (seems unlikely as Samsung plays KT and is above Sbenu already), or 3rd place and reach the finals, or 4th place and win the round. - if KT ends 5th, Sbenu either needs to be 2nd and make it to the final, or win the round. - if KT ends up in the top 4, their position does not matter, Sbenu needs to be ahead of them in the rankings this round and win the round.
Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong.
As much as I'd love to see Sbenu pull it off, it seems very unlikely

I could see KeeN taking a game off jjakji and maybe YoDa doing the same to Curious, but I really don't see anyone on Prime ever beating DRG in the ace.

I would say it's Sbenu is going to lose rather than Prime is going to win. If you know the difference. Of course, many teams have a shot for placing in the Post-season Playoffs, but if anyone thinks, that KT won't be there, just illudes himself.

if KT loses tomorrow, they will be 5th for the round. In this case, Sbenu will have to win the whole round (+40 points) by defeating Samsung, CJ and SKT in the playoffs.
This is the only case where KT is kicked out of season play offs.

SGK can still make it to season playoffs if they beat KT tomorrow and win the playoffs. If PL go back to tiebreak instead of head to head (we still don't know atm), it's possible they might only need 2nd in one contrived scenario where KT come 7th.
