The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) has announced that the postseason will kick off next Wednesday, October 14th, with the wild card round between the fourth and fifth place teams in the regular season standings. The higher-ranked team needs only a win or tie in two games to advance, while the lower-ranked club must secure two consecutive victories to progress.
This wild card round was introduced in 2015, and it has only occurred once before when the 2024 KT Wiz defeated the Doosan Bears. Following the wild card round, the first round will feature a best-of-five series, where the No. 3 ranked team enters the postseason as a bye, awaiting the outcome of the wild card matchup. The Kia Tigers, LG Twins, and Doosan Bears are still vying for the remaining three postseason slots.
The victor of this initial series will then advance to challenge the No. 2 team in the regular season, also in a best-of-five contest. The Samsung team's fate is not specified in the source material.
