In my opinion, it's better to leave Ajcharaporn at OH, than play OP. She is clearly stronger and better as an OH. Leave the OP position to Pimpichaya and Mallika.

It's nice to see Tichakorn get starter position in this first game. She is a good blocker, but needs to work more on her slides. Actually the whole Thai team did a good job blocking in the Taiwan match. I hope they can continue this throughout the rest of the tournament.

Can't wait for the Finals match. Such a shame that this will be heartbreaking any other way it ends. Last chance for the golden girls of Thailand and KYK for the Olympics? Or do you think KYK and some of the Thai batchmates can still play next cycle? Onuma is the youngest, but you know her form is at its twilight now. Pleumjit is still fit, but until when can she sustain? Nootsara is the most possible to carry on playing at a high level, but won't she be too exhausted by then?

As much as I love Korea I'll be rooting for Thailand...KYK and Korea have participated in the Olympics in the past whereas Thailand has not...this is their last chance!The golden girls will be almost 40 (Pleumjit will be 41!) come Paris...

Will be cheering for Thailand as well although KYK is my all time favorite!

congrats Thailand and Korea for making it to final(was expected from the get go lol)!

I think both teams are pretty equal in terms of skills, with exceptions of height and service. Whichever teams performs better tomorrow will win the ticket. Good luck to both!

I'm so bummed it's at 3:00am for me. I've already got the Final 8, the Challenge 4, and the HS Championship Final going on tonight. And the Final Euro Qualifier at 8:30am ... but I'll be there damnit

You can do it...pull an all nighter And do it for your love of Asian volleyball lol...but luckily for me, it starts at 5 am, so no all nighter

My best wishes to Thailand for the qualification. Karma owes them a lot, I hope it's worth anything. I can't see them cry another time, in front of their home crowd too.

Korea proved they were the better performers and they take it. Congrats Korea!!!

sad for the Thai girls, but on the bright side, now the golden girls can take their long overdue break from NT duties and Nootsara can play overseas if she wants to.

just in case you missed those 2 wonderful announcers...

I'm gonna grab just the audio from those streams and put it on my iPod, listen to it while I work out

What's that flag even? lmao

i started watching a little bit of TPE x KAZ, and i was shocked to find out that TPE MB tseng #4 is only 171 cm! that's the shortest MB i have ever heard of... her back slide is lethal though, at least against KAZ...

She's always been one of the stars of the show in the handful of TPE matches I've seen. Spunky
