Kia Tigers has won the 2024 regular league championship, and Samsung Electronics is also poised to take the second place. There is only one more fight left: the third place fight.먹튀검증

The third-place competition has been narrowed down to a three-way race between LG and Doosan, ranking fourth, and KT, ranking fifth. LG and Doosan have two games to go, while LG and KT have three games to go. LG and Doosan have eight more games to play, and KT have six more.

Considering the differences between each team, LG seems to be somewhat advantageous, but not necessarily given the current schedule.

Starting with the game against Lotte on the 17th, LG started a six-game series. It will play three consecutive away games against Lotte in Busan until the 19th, and immediately come to Seoul to play three games against Doosan from the 20th to the 22nd. After that, it will take a day off, meet SSG, Hanwha, and Kiwoom in turn from the 24th, take a day off, and play its last game against Samsung on the 28th.

Doosan, which is chasing LG, also has a tight schedule. Doosan, which brings Kia home on Wednesday, will play three consecutive games against LG starting on Tuesday, and immediately face off against SSG and NC, followed by Lotte on Wednesday and NC on Wednesday.

The three consecutive games between LG and Doosan, which will be held from Friday, will likely be the biggest watershed that will determine the team's ranking at third place. As such, all-out matches are expected to be held in the postseason.

KT has no showdowns with LG and Doosan left, and its ranking is the lowest at fifth. However, KT will hold a game with Samsung on Wednesday, take two days off, and play two consecutive games with SSG on Friday and Sunday. It will then have another day off, Lotte on Sunday, and Kiwoom on Sunday, the lowest ranking, in two consecutive games.

The gap between third-ranked LG and third-ranked LG in three games cannot be easily narrowed. However, it is advantageous for KT to make all-out efforts at every game due to three consecutive games between LG and Doosan, and many rest days. In addition, KT's remaining six games are all home games, which is another advantage.
