I need to catch the first round to see KS.

It is a very high probability, but it is not enough to guarantee a berth in the Korean Series. Kiwoom Heroes, who gave up the first game to the LG Twins in last year's playoffs, laughed as they won games 2-4 down.
However, in this year's playoffs, winning Game 1 could be more meaningful. The driving force behind both KT Wiz and NC Dinos' victories in each series in fall baseball history was "overpowering the flag."
KT, which has consistently advanced to the postseason since 2020, has played a total of four fall baseball series. The winning rate of the series was 50 percent, but in the series that won the first game, they all became winners.
KT caught Game 3 after losing Game 1 and 2 in succession against the Doosan Bears in the 2020 playoffs, its first fall baseball league, but was eliminated after losing Game 4.
However, in the 2021 Korean Series, which went straight to the top of the regular season, they caught Doosan, which they met again, from Game 1 and won all of Game 2 to 4 and held the trophy.
Last year, he also passed the first gate of the postseason by beating the KIA Tigers in the first round of the wild card decision. However, in the subsequent semi-playoffs, he lost his first game against Kiwoom, and eventually missed the playoff spot after a game of Game 5.
NC's final performance also depended on the result of the first game of the postseason series.
NC won Game 1 in the 2016 playoffs, the 2017 wild card and semi-playoffs, the 2020 Korean Series, and this year's wild card and semi-playoffs, and either advanced to the next round or ended the championship.
There was only one case that NC was eliminated even after winning the first game. In 2017, he met Doosan in the playoffs and won the first game, but lost three games and lost. Still, the probability that NC won the first game and became the winner of the series reached 85.7%.
On the other hand, NC had never succeeded in turning the tables if it lost the first game like KT. After losing the first round in both the semi - playoff in 2014 and the playoffs in 2015 and 2016, he eventually had to pack.
Therefore, KT and NC, who dreamt of a bronze statue of the "second Korean Series advancement", will make all-out efforts from the first round of the playoffs to be held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 30th. All available cards will be available, but unless there are many variables, "Big Game Pitcher" William Cuevas (KT) and "League Ace" Eric Peddy (NC) will take the heavy role of starting pitcher in Game 1.
A luxury pitching competition may take place, but unexpected results may come out. The team that breaks down the opponent's ace is likely to take the first round.
Suwon KT Wiz Park can also be a powder keg. After KT was founded, three postseason games were held in Suwon, with a total of 34 points.
