You have to win so I can live.
The 2025 ranking fight is coming to the end. On the last day of September, the SSG Landers and the Samsung Lions confirmed third and fourth places, respectively. However, the team at the top of the ranking table and the last team in autumn baseball has yet to appear.
The No. 1 LG Twins won the match against Hanwha on the 27th of last month, reducing the magic number of the regular season to 1. However, he has failed to fill the last piece as he has lost two consecutive games.
Hanwha, the second-ranked team, has won two consecutive games, saving the spark to regain the top spot once again.

The 5th place is also fierce. On September 30, in a game between the NC Dinos and the KT Wiz, NC overturned the ranking with a 9-4 victory over KT. The win rate is split from 'Mo' without a ride.
Both teams have two games left. NC will win an autumn baseball ticket if it wins both remaining games. On the other hand, if NC wins 1 win and 1 loss and KT wins 2 wins, KT can reverse the ranking again. If they win and lose one game side by side, NC has the upper hand.
They came to support each other in the past. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop and KT manager Lee Kang-chul worked together as head coaches and senior coaches at Nexen Heroes in the past. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon and NC manager Lee Ho-joon shared a team as a coach and player at the NC Dinos. It's time to believe in the power of one relationship
The NC Dinos and LG Twins will face off at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 1st. Hanwha came to support NC. If NC catches LG, it will be able to continue its hope for the first place.
NC also needs to win against LG. It doesn't just increase the possibility of fall baseball. When KT wins against KIA on the 1st, 'insurance' is needed.
KT will play against Hanwha on the 3rd. If NC catches LG and Hanwha catches SSG on the 1st and the ranking is not determined, Ryu Hyun-jin is likely to take the mound in the final game on the 3rd. However, if LG hits a victory celebration earlier, Hanwha does not have to overdo it. On the 3rd, he will start checking future resources and preparing for the postseason.

For KT, LG needs to catch NC to save hope for autumn baseball. For KT, NC's two wins are the worst scenario.
On the other hand, for LG, KT needs to cheer up. We need to prepare for the scenario of losing the game against NC. LG, which plays the entire regular season schedule with a game on the 1st, will have to wait and see the final results of Hanwha's game on the 3rd. If KT catches Hanwha, it can confirm the championship by avoiding the 'No. 1 decision game'.
