When KBO announced the remaining game schedule on August 19, the last-minute face-off between LG and Hanwha drew attention. Three consecutive games were organized in Daejeon from September 26 to 28. LG has five games left and Hanwha has six more to play.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who was set to play against Doosan in Daejeon at the time, said "I haven't seen it yet. I've heard it's coming out today." Let's say we're going to play LG at the end. Is it two consecutive games?" I was curious. The reporters said it was a three-game series. Manager Kim Kyung-moon said "Really? Is it three games in a row?," he said, expressing both surprise and anticipation.
LG topped the list at that time. It was two games against Hanwha.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop expressed his burden. Coach Yeom Kyung-yup laughed, saying, `I think the KBO is ready to watch the game at the end,' but `We have to make a decision before that somehow"I predicted. Director Yeom said, `If you go that far, you get too stressed out. I hope you don't make it to the last minute," he said candidly.
Since then, LG has fled to a 5.5 game gap, and the first-place fight seems to have ended blandly. Hanwha also did not go too far to retake the top spot.
However, Hanwha has always had hope that it will be able to make the final game if it holds onto within three games of the ride until 3 consecutive games in Daejeon.

As of the 25th, Hanwha has narrowed its gap to 2.5 games. LG has 83 wins, 3 draws and 52 losses in 138 games, and Hanwha has 80 wins, 3 draws and 54 losses in 137 games.
LG has five magic numbers. However, if Hanwha sweeps three consecutive games, it can take away the magic number.
Hanwha even fights with its home advantage. LG will play five consecutive away games against Changwon NC on the 24th and Ulsan Lotte on the 25th to Daejeon. Hanwha will return to its home turf after a game against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 25th.
Hanwha will put forward Ryu Hyun-jin, Moon Dong-ju and Ponce. LG will also face Chirinos, Tolhurst and Lim Chan-kyu with all their might.
It's literally a 'Korean series to watch in advance'
LG leads the season with seven wins, one draw and five losses. However, in Daejeon, they had one draw and three losses, and they couldn't win a single game.
