The results and schedule are seen in the English wiki.

I just say about other messages:

JT's two liberos: Wataru Inoue (井上航) + Taishi Karakawa (唐川大志) = Tang Chuan-hang (唐川航), the opposite hitter of Chinese men's NT and Bayi men's Club

Liu Li-bin is the best (second) Asian foreign players in this season.

Does Rouzier return French NT? Please believe Boyer and Patry!

Dimitry Musersky (designed lines) : Who can win me!

Totally 5 teams have been qualified for Final 6, they are :

1. Panasonic Panthers

2. Suntory Sunbirds

3. JT Thunders

4. Toyoda Gosei Trefuerza

5. Toray Arrows

The last spot will be decided between JTEKT Stings & Sakai Blazers. Unlike women's , Japan Men's V.League is more competitive due to the reform of the league. No one knows the Final 6 until the last week of regular season.

To be honest, I think Sakai Blazers deserves the final spot as it makes a huge progress this year with the joining of Masahiro Sekita. One setter can make a huge difference.

Bahkawdi · Feb 19th 2019

I wan the stings to advance because of Yuji Nishida. Dude is a scoring machine!

The setter of Stings I don't know him but I think he's not an ideal setter to Yuji Nishida. Yuji Nishida can't even present his speed with unstable sets.

Edgar was playing OH this season?

brahmin · Apr 16th 2019

Yes Edgar played this year but as an opposite. He is not passing in the offense.

It is said that the second best OH may be Liu Li-bin or others but their minutes are not enough.
