It's a cancellation. A significant variable has occurred in the playoff picture.
The second round of the playoffs between the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins was pushed back by rain. The two teams were scheduled to play the second round of the playoffs at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th. However, the decision to cancel was eventually made due to heavy rain from the afternoon.
Postseason games usually don't shake the schedule. This is because it confuses many parts such as ticket reservation and broadcasting. However, the game cannot be strengthened due to the weather. KBO closely watched Daegu's weather conditions and approached them as carefully as possible. However, it was concluded that the game could not be held due to the continuous rain.
In the end, attention is focused on which team this rain will help. In the first game, Samsung won the game 10-4 with three home runs. From Samsung's point of view, it's better to play when the atmosphere is good. On top of that, Samsung was waiting for second place in the regular season. In theory, it may not be a good thing to give LG a day off after playing all the strength through Game 5 in the semi-playoff.

LG is glad to see rain. You can change the atmosphere. The most welcome thing is that there is room for pitcher management. Starting pitchers such as Ens and Son Joo-young can take another day off and attract strength. It is also very welcome for LG that Hernandez, who has thrown all five semi-playoffs, buys time. In fact, LG replaced the second game starter with Son Joo-young in Ens. Originally, it was Yeom Kyung-yeop who wanted to put Son Joo-young in the second game, but Son Joo-young tried to lead the second game to the N.S. because he did not recover after pitching in Game 5 of the semi-playoff. At this point, Son Joo-young's ball power is better than that of Ens. In the meantime, it rained and Son Joo-young secured time to recover, and eventually changed the selection.
The canceled second round will be held on the 15th. The playoff schedule is all pushed back by a day. Instead, if the playoff does not proceed until Game 5, and ends within Game 4, the scheduled Korean Series schedule will be continued. The first game of the Korean Series, where the KIA Tigers are on a first-come, first-served basis, is scheduled to be held in Gwangju on the 21st.
