  • We're close to the end of Regular Season. Today we had 2 matches from Day25:


    Czarni - Politechnika 2-3 (25-17 26-28 17-25 25-23 12-15) MVP: Paweł Mikołajczak stats


    Mikołajczak was just unstoppable and was key player to win. Czarni led 10-5 in tiebreak and lost 6 points in a row :wavy:


    Transfer - ZAKSA 2-3 (20-25 19-25 30-28 25-23 13-15) MVP: Paweł Zagumny stats


    Great game by Kooy, Lucas after weaker start is getting better and Zagumny is in shape :thumbup: on the other side Jarosz with MBs did well, Cupkovic wasn't as good as in some games during season...

  • People have been serving on Lucas Loh like crazy these last matches. :white: Receiving 62 balls is no joke.

    and he's doing it really well :thumbup: Lucas is definitely among best receiving OHs in league and he receives average 7,67 balls per set :!:

  • and he's doing it really well :thumbup: Lucas is definitely among best receiving OHs in league and he receives average 7,67 balls per set :!:

    I'm glad he's improved from his weak performances in the beginning of the season. :D It's too bad ZAKSA are kinda unlucky this season with all the injuries. They should've hired a better OPP too (I like Witczak, but he's not as good as Bociek for example). I have no idea why they hired van Dijk after his season with Trento.


    I'm curious as to how the standings for the regular season will end up like. Things are messy between third and sixth places.

  • Today Results:


    Cuprum - Banimex 3-2 (27-29 25-15 25-14 22-25 15-12) MVP: Szymon Romać stats


    Trommel, Romać and Pashytskiy did good job, but Boerovnjak was useless... on the other side Hebda led team to tiebreak.


    BBTS - Skra 1-3 (20-25 17-25 25-20 22-25) MVP: Facundo Conte stats


    Skra after almost perfect game vs. Lube gave rest to Wlazły, Kłos, Uriarte and Tille. All main spikers except Marechal over 50% ^^ Gonzalez and Ferens were main hitters in BBTS.


    AZS - Resovia 0-3 (23-25 21-25 23-25) MVP: Jochen Schoeps stats


    Kaczyński and Samica weren't enough for Sovia. Schoeps, Buszek and Penchev with high efficiency.

  • I know nothing about Schultz but He saved Lotos Trefl before tie break and ended match with spectacular ace.

  • Today Results:


    Effector - Indykpol 3-2 (21-25 20-25 25-20 25-17 15-11) MVP: Grzegorz Pająk stats


    Good Buchowski and perfect sub by Jungiewicz saved Effector after losing 0-2. On the other side Bednorz, adamajtis and Ogurcak weren't enough...


    Lotos - JW 3-1 (25-20 23-25 25-17 30-28 ) MVP: Mateusz Mika stats


    Brilliant game by Mateusz Mika, supported by Troy, Schwarz and Grzyb. Great sub by Schulz at the end saved team from tiebreak ^^ on the other hand whole JW played below expectations :wavy:

  • Day 26 - last in Regular Season:
    20.02 Indykpol AZS Olsztyn - AZS Częstochowa 18:00 - Polsat Sport
    21.02 Asseco Resovia Rzeszów - PGE Skra Bełchatów 14:45 - Polsat Sport
    21.02 Effector Kielce - MKS Banimex Będzin 17:00
    21.02 AZS Politechnika Warszawska - Lotos Trefl Gdańsk 17:00
    21.02 ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle - BBTS Bielsko-Biała 17:00
    21.02 Jastrzębski Węgiel - Cuprum Lubin 17:00
    22.02 Cerrad Czarni Radom - Transfer Bydgoszcz 17:00


    Skra with Resovia will fight for 1st position before Play-Offs. Winner will play vs. Czarni (8th), loser will deal with ZAKSA (7th). Lotos has 3 points of advantage and will play with Politechnika, so they should keep 3rd place. JW has better W-L and sets ratio than Cuprum so they will probably end up as 4th team (unless Lotos loses 1-3 or 0-3 and JW wins 3-1 or 3-0). Transfer and Cuprum still fight for 5th place. Politechnika is 9th, Indykpol can be ahead of BBTS and it's possible. Meawhile Banimex can be even 12th if they beat Effector for 3 points.


    After Regular Season I'll try to show draw and rankings of top players ^^

  • Today Result:


    Indykpol - AZS 3-2 (22-25 24-26 25-17 25-22 15-12) MVP: Bartosz Bednorz stats


    Tight and interesting battle, AZS was losing 21-15 in 2nd set and won it. Great game by Bednorz 19/38 spikes (50%) + 6 blocks + 3 aces, moreover he pased 45 balls :!: he should get a chance to be in wider roster in NT :roll: Janeczek was leader on the other side of the net, Samica disappointed as spiker, AZS defended quite a lot. Unfortunately referee's level was quite low...

  • Today Results:


    Resovia - Skra 3-1 (23-25 37-35 25-23 25-15) MVP: Fabian Drzyzga stats


    Skra missed Wlazły on his top level :wavy: Ivovic, Schoeps and Penchev with high efficiency


    Effector - Banimex 3-2 (25-12 25-22 21-25 22-25 15-11) MVP: Mateusz Bieniek stats


    Hebda as OP scored almost alone, while Effector had Byuchowski, Staszewski, Jungiewicz and Bieniek ^^


    Politechnika - Lotos 3-1 (22-25 26-24 25-22 30-28 ) MVP: Waldemar Świrydowicz stats


    Lotos used backups, Schulz, Wierzbowski (61 received balls :!: ) and Troy were leaders. In AZS Świrydowicz deserved for award, good game also by Mikołajczak.


    ZAKSA - BBTS 3-0 (25-17 25-15 25-19) MVP: Dominik Witczak stats


    ZAKSA used all players and there wern't quite important weak points, while in BBTS only Ferens and Kapelus on decent level.


    JW - Cuprum 2-3 (28-30 25-19 20-25 28-26 14-16) MVP: Grzegorz Łomacz stats


    Weird tactics by JW with taking out main players after 2 sets... Malinowski and Pajenk were the best in JW, while Łapszyński, Trommel, Pashytskiy and Romać best scorers in Cuprum.


    Tomorrow: Czarni - Transfer 17:00, it seems that final standings are completed, Transfer shouldn't be ahead of Cuprum, because Cuprum has more wins ^^

  • Don't forget about Nowakowski :)

  • Today Result:


    Czarni - Transfer 1-3 (25-17 22-25 23-25 21-25) MVP: Nikodem Wolański stats


    Transfer played with backups, Czarni without Oivanen and Westpahl, Kampa played only in first set. Murek as OH, Wiese, Nowakowski and Marshall were Transfer's leaders


    About game Resovia-Skra: replay tomorrow on Polsat Sport at 15:10 CET, so I recommend finding Polsat Sport online :wavy:
