Korea's Representative for IEM Oakland
This sounds like an interesting circumstance we have here. According to esportswikis, the qualified team is based on the highest ranked LCK Summer team that is not in the quarterfinals of KeSPA Cup, did not participate in Worlds Semis, and is not automatically invited to IEM Katowice. All 3 teams reached semis at Worlds. So to break it down:
- ROX is already secured for IEM Gyeonggi as 1st LCK Summer.
- SKT/SSG will secure a spot at IEM Katowice. This means the loser will have to win KeSPA Cup in order to secure the second spot at IEM Gyeonggi.
Which means now we have to look deeper for Oakland in particular. The top 4 remaining teams would be KT Rolster, Afrecca Freecs, MVP, and Jin Air in that order. And that requires the team failing to make KeSPA playoffs! Who do you think will wind up taking the spot?
