Both teams desperately want to advance to the championship finals and win the championship. LG will seek to advance to the championship finals for the first time in 10 years after the 2013-2014 season. The last season for KT was the 2006-2007 season when it was KTF. Both teams have won the title of regular season league, but have never won the title of championship finals. For this reason, not only players but also the club desperately need to win.

It is an interesting showdown since the colors of the two teams are clearly different. It is a duel between the so-called "bee basketball" and the "strong one-two punch." LG aims to increase the number of available players as much as possible and focus on defense and teamwork. The team had the smallest number of goals lost on average in 54 regular season games with 76.9 points. As such, the team boasts superior defense capability. Players of various colors can perform attacks without being dependent on some players.

KT is as impressive as LG. However, it has a solid ace pitchers. It focuses on Paris Bath and Hur Hoon, who are highly talented in basketball, and plays aggressive basketball. In the semifinal PO, KT also beat Ulsan Hyundai Mobis by banking on Bath and Hur Hoon's outstanding performances.

The team should pay attention to Bath, the top scorer in the regular season league. In games against LG in the regular season, the team scored an average of 18.0 points. The team significantly lacked the average of 25.4 points in the regular season. At a home game against LG on June 3, he played for only 10 minutes and 30 seconds, and only scored eight points. He played for a short period not only because of his performance but also because of injury. At a game against LG in January, he played for more than 37 minutes but also scored only 11 points. This means that LG's defense team bullied Bath that much. If Bath, who scored an average of 29.5 points in four PO matches in the semifinal, shows stellar performance that is different from that of the regular season league, KT is no different from the past.

The variable is LG's foreign player. Juan Telo suffered a broken finger while preparing for the PO. As a result, LG agonized over selecting Dante Cunningham and Josh Ybarra, who both played for the team during the regular season. Cunningham, who has a strong understanding of the team's system, was selected as the final player. Cunningham joined the team on Wednesday and is preparing for the PO. As he did not play in actual matches until recently, his performance remains uncertain. LG hopes Cunningham will be able to endure for two to three minutes each quarter in lieu of one-option foreign player Asem Marei.
