NS remain on top with 189 points and four chicken dinners, but KRX’s win narrows the race behind them. DK still hold third place on 140 points after three chicken dinners, and KRX sit just three points ahead of them. GDR hold fourth on 125, and OR sit fifth on 115.

What Match 16 Means

Korean teams hold the top three places on the overall table, and they have nine of the event’s 16 chicken dinners between them: NS four, DK three, and KRX two. KRX’s second win is also a sign that the team’s finishing power is starting to reach the top of the table.

Indian teams have six chicken dinners so far: GDR two, OR two, and K9 two. GDR and OR are fourth and fifth overall, while K9 sit eighth. Japan’s only chicken dinner belongs to VAL, who are 15th overall.

What to Watch in the Final Two Matches

With 16 of 18 matches complete, NS hold a 46-point lead over KRX, so the most important contest is for second place. KRX and DK are separated by only three points, and the final two matches could decide that order. GDR and OR also remain close enough to be affected by a few strong results, with a gap of 10 points between them.
