SK Telecom take the last Proleague playoffs spot

SK Telecom become the fourth and last team to secure a Proleague playoffs spot after a clutch 4:3 comeback against EG-TL. This leaves Samsung KHAN officially out of the competition and the remaining six matches are only to determine the final standings.

While SKT lined-up the very best their roster has to offer, they almost fell short today as Oz and HerO won the opening PvPs to give the alliance an early lead. Two games later, EG-TL were leading 3-1 due to Revival's win in yet another mirror match and SKT were up against the ropes and in need of a three in a row to turn things around.

To their luck, Parting and Fantasy were there to deliver. The 2012 world champion closed the gap to one game difference in the fourth mirror of the day, making Fantasy's job of tying it in game six against Snute and acing the series against HerO much easier.

With latest results in mind, SKT are almost certain to enter the playoffs as fourth as STX SouL are leading with one victory and four points. Still, should SKT secure a big win against Team 8 on Monday and STX SouL lose with a lot to EG-TL, there is a chance for Boxer's team to climb to third place. 

In the second match of the day, STX SouL came in to decimate Team 8 with a flawless 4:0 in a series without any meaning outside of helping STX SouL catch up with the runner-ups of KT Rolster. Innovation, Hyvaa, Trap and Dear contributed to STX's triumph, pushing their team to mere five points difference between them and KT. Rolster are one match behind, however, and they will fight for cementing their second place tomorrow as they play the #6 in the rankings CJ Entus.
