NC Dinos will play a postseason home game for the first time since Changwon NC Park opened in 2019. It is certain as long as there are no variables for a draw.
NC held its final home game against the Changwon Samsung Lions on the 15th with a score of 5-3. This resulted in 75 wins, 65 losses, and 2 draws. They beat SSG Landers and Doosan Bears to take sole 3rd place. SSG is in 4th place with 74 wins, 65 losses, and 3 draws, and Doosan, which lost against the LG Twins in Jamsil that day, is in 5th place with 74 wins, 66 losses, and 2 draws. NC secured at least 4th place and will play a postseason home game.
NC ends the regular season with a two-game series against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju on the 16th and 17th. Even if they lose both games, they have 75 wins, 67 losses, and 2 draws. At this time, SSG and Doosan will also face off in the final two-game series. If SSG wins 2 games, it will take 3rd place with 76 wins, 65 losses, and 3 draws, and Doosan will take 5th place with 74 wins, 68 losses, and 2 draws. NC confirmed 4th place. Conversely, if Doosan wins 2 games, it will take 3rd place with 76 wins, 66 losses, and 2 draws, and SSG will take 5th place with 74 wins, 67 losses, and 3 draws. NC confirmed 4th place.
However, if SSG and Doosan have 1 win and 1 loss, SSG will secure 3rd place with 75 wins, 66 losses, and 3 draws, and Doosan will be tied with NC with 75 wins, 67 losses, and 2 draws. At this time, 4th to 5th place will be determined in the order of the two teams’ head-to-head matches and the number of goals scored in the head-to-head matches. The two teams finished their match this season with 8 wins and 8 losses, and NC scored 66 points (0-9-2-5-2-4-5-10-2-4-1-12-2-1-6) -1), Doosan has 64 points (1-3-6-0-3-11-4-3-3-1-4-5-1-3-5-11). NC is 4th and Doosan is 5th.
If NC wins 1 win and 1 loss against KIA on the 16th and 17th, it will have 76 wins, 66 losses, and 2 draws. With SSG’s 2 wins (76 wins, 65 losses, 3 draws) and Doosan’s 2 losses (74 wins, 68 losses, 2 draws), SSG is 3rd, NC is 4th, and Doosan is 5th. Conversely, if Doosan wins 2 (76 wins, 66 losses, 2 draws) and SSG loses 2 (74 wins, 67 losses, 3 draws), NC will beat Doosan by many points and take 3rd place, with Doosan in 4th place and SSG in 5th place. If SSG (75 wins, 66 losses, 3 draws) and Doosan (75 wins, 67 losses, 2 draws) have 1 win and 1 loss, NC will be in 3rd place, SSG in 4th place, and Doosan in 5th place.
If NC wins 2 games against KIA on the 16th and 17th, they will be in 3rd place with 77 wins, 65 losses, and 2 draws, regardless of the results of SSG and Doosan. In other words, for NC, even just one win against KIA significantly increases the probability of 3rd place and secures at least 4th place. The number of cases of ranking 5th has already completely disappeared.먹튀검증
After taking 5th place in the regular season in 2019, NC ended the season by losing 1-3 in the first game of the wild card decision against LG. In 2020, the long-awaited regular season and Korean Series combined championship was achieved, but all playoffs and Korean Series games were held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. Afterwards, they were unable to participate in the postseason in 2021 and 2022.
For reference, the last postseason in Changwon dates back to 2017. At that time, NC ranked 4th and won 10-5 in the first game of the wild card decision against SK Wyverns and advanced to the semi-playoffs. Afterwards, they won 3 wins and 2 losses in the semi-playoffs against the Lotte Giants, and lost 1 win and 1 loss in the 3rd and 4th games in Changwon.
