The ranking, which was second until the end of April, fell to fourth place. It was the beginning of an eight-game losing streak. Samsung won only one victory in May.
A series of defeats piled up without a hitch. There is an emergency in and out of the team.
But there was something that didn't change much. It's a team ranking. The losing streak accumulated, but he remained in fourth place for 10 days from the 1st to the 10th.
Coincidentally, fifth-ranked KT Wiz fell into a losing streak together, and the gap was large from sixth place below. KT has recently lost five consecutive games since the match against Suwon NC on the 5th.
Samsung and KT maintained their fourth and fifth positions side by side until the 10th, when they lost seven consecutive games and four consecutive games, respectively.

NC, which was in ninth place on the first day of May, six games behind fourth-place Samsung, raised its ranking little by little, then pushed Samsung to fifth place and jumped to fourth place, half a game ahead. Although fatigue has been severe due to wandering for a month due to safety diagnosis issues at Changwon NC Park, it has been on the rise with eight wins, one draw and one loss in the last 10 games with the powerful lineup.
Samsung's ranking is almost the same, but the internal damage was huge.
Samsung, which was fighting for the top spot in the early days of the season, was in fourth place, just two games behind the leader LG until the 1st. It was only a half-game difference from Hanwha Lotte, which tied for second place.
However, in May, Hanwha and Samsung showed extreme moves. While Hanwha won 12 consecutive games, Samsung lost eight in a row. Hanwha defeated LG in the first place and jumped to the top. The half-game gap between Hanwha and Samsung widened to eight games in 10 days.

In the midst of turbulence for 10 days in May, the KBO League is rapidly reorganizing into a three-way, six-way, and one-way structure.
Hanwha, LG, and Lotte alone have a winning rate of more than 50%. Hanwha, which ranks first in 12 consecutive wins, and LG, which ranks second in three consecutive wins, are fiercely competing for the lead by just one game. Lotte, which has won four consecutive games recently, is in third place, three games behind Hanwha. Lotte is fairly well ahead of fourth place by 4.5 games.
From NC in fourth place to Doosan in ninth place, they are closely lined up by 2.5 games. Kiwoom, the lowest-ranked team, has lost 30 games in 43 games due to its last three consecutive losses, jeopardizing its maintenance of the .302 winning rate.
