“-” 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.
After all games on Sep 5 (Korea time)
Standings entering Sep 5, Korea time (results through the previous day), plus the 7 games finished on Sep 5. Clinches and eliminations that took more than one of those results show up only here.

Games counted that day:
In races with more than 8 games left, countdown changes that stay far off (a clinch needing more than two-thirds of the points left, or an elimination more than half the games left away) are left out of this list. Clinches and eliminations are always listed, and both clubs' numbers are all in the two-club table.
