What's at stake

Standings built from every game finished through Oct 19 (Korea time), plus this one result, recomputed for all 18 clubs. Results are entered as a 1-0 home win, a 1-1 draw or a 0-1 away win — goals only break ties, so positions are shown by points alone (a range such as 8–9 when level). Arithmetic, not odds.

“-” means there is no such number: for a clinch, the club can't clinch on its own (it needs other results); for an elimination, losing every remaining game still wouldn't settle it.
