Korean Series Winners
*Note: W indicates a Win for the eventual Korean Series champions, T indicates a tie, and L indicates a loss. Games in the KBO have a limit to the number of extra innings and/or time that could be played before being officially declared a tied game (except in 2008 when this rule was removed). When post-season games were declared tied, they had to be replayed.
