Kiwoom DRX now lead the table on 77 points, one point ahead of NS, who have dropped to second. DK slipped to third on 73 despite holding the most wins with two. Valor’s first chicken dinner lifts them from 17th to 14th, and K9’s win total of two keeps them in the upper middle of the table.

## What the Standings Mean Halfway Through

Eight matches have shown the event is wide open. NS, KRX, and DK are separated by only four points, and the teams behind them still have enough time to climb. The results so far suggest that consistent finishing matters as much as wins, and that the leaders are not yet building an unassailable lead.
