On the last day of October last year, KT and Samsung had a breathtaking battle.
With the same win rate in the regular season, they had their first 'first place match', and KT went straight to the Korean Series by winning 1-0 with a superhuman counter-throw from starting Quevas and Kang Baek-ho's final blow after only two days off.
While Samsung, which fell to 2nd place, collapsed helplessly in the playoffs, KT gained momentum and took the first Korean series since its foundation.
