Nongshim's Red Force won a playoff ticket at the end of the regular league 'VCT Pacific Stage 2', and all four Korean teams will advance to the playoffs.
In the fourth week of the 'VCT Pacific Stage 2' held at the SOOP Coliseum in Mapo-gu, Seoul from the 8th to the 11th, Nongshim said it advanced to the playoffs by defeating Gen.G., which continued to lead the Alpha Group 2-0.
Nongshim, who failed to confirm his advance to the playoffs until the third week, beat Gen.G on the 8th. This tied Gen.G with 3 wins and 2 losses, but Nongshim, who had the upper hand in both the match and the round, finished the regular season in second place.
DRX, which rose to first place with Nongshim beating Gen.G, simply won 2-0 against Global Esports on the 9th and confirmed the first place with four wins in Alpha Group. DRX bought time to relax and prepare for the playoffs by getting their hands on a direct ticket to the second round of the playoffs, which is given to the top of the group stage group.
Meanwhile, Omega Group, unlike Alpha Group, has already decided on all four teams that will advance to the playoffs at the end of the third week. However, the final ranking has not yet been decided, and the fourth place in the group starts the playoffs in the lower group, so the game in the fourth week was as fierce as whether or not it will advance to the playoffs.
In the final regular-season match between T1 and Detonation Focus Me on the 10th, T1 won 2-0 and ranked third in the regular season, confirming its advance to the first round of the upper group. With T1's victory, all three teams, T1, Talon Esports, and Detonation Focus Me, tied for 3 wins and 2 losses in the Omega Group. According to the tiebreaker rules, Talon Esports finished the regular season in second place in the group, T1 in third place and Detonation Focusmi in fourth place.
The playoffs for the 'VCT Pacific Stage 2" will begin on the 13th. The first-place team in each group will start in the second round of the playoffs, while the fourth-place team will play in the first round of the lower group. The second-place team will face the third-place team in the opposite group in the first round of the upper group.
