Game 4 of the 2024 KBO postseason semi-playoff will take place at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th. This game features the LG Twins, who finished third in the regular league with a record of 76 wins, 2 draws, and 66 losses, against the fifth-place KT Wiz, which finished with 72 wins, 2 draws, and 70 losses. Currently, LG leads the series with 2 wins and 1 loss.
KT was the first team to score in this matchup. They secured a spot in the semi-playoffs by defeating the SSG Landers and the Doosan Bears in the fifth-place and wild card games, respectively. KT gained momentum by winning the first game of the series 3-2.
LG, having advanced directly to the semi-playoffs, responded with a strong performance. They won the second game 7-2 and followed up with a narrow victory in the third game, finishing 6-5.
In the best-of-five series, there have been six instances where teams split wins at 1-1. In every case, the team that won Game 3 advanced to the playoffs. This gives LG an advantageous position going into Game 4.
