HLE will kick off the playoffs stage with their BO5 against KDF, while KT and DK will follow up with the second match of the bracket. While the first round is single elimination, from round two onwards every team gets two lives. GEN, being the first seed, gets to pick their opponent from the winners of the Round One match, T1 will face whoever else is left. The winner goes to MSI's Main Event, the other finalist gets access to the tournament's Play-In stage.   Prize Pool And Championship Points   The prize pool for the LCK Spring 2024 Playoffs is 375 million Korean Won (around 277 thousand USD). It is split between the top four teams only, with the bottom two teams getting nothing other than championship points.
