Russia -Superleague 2019-2020

  • If fakel wins tomorrow by 3:1 ratio also, what will happen?

    The final 6 rule uses the same method that's used in WCH 2018

  • The final 6 rule uses the same method that's used in WCH 2018

    Which is what exactly?

  • Which is what exactly?

    In final 6, the top two teams in each pool qualified for the semifinals.

    the number of winning games > points > sets quotient > points quotient > head to head result

  • So basically Moscow just needs to "win" 2 sets tomorrow against Fakel and they are in to SF as #1 seed from their pool.


    From the other pool, I think Loko actually prefers playing against Moscow going to SF (than Zenit potentially-speaking).

  • Game 1: Zenit x Fakel - 95 X 84 - Zenit +11/ Fakel -11

    Game 2: Dynamo x Zenit - 95 x 83 - Dynamo + 12 / Zenit -1


    Scenarios:

    Dynamo's win regardless of the result means Fakel is out.
    Fakel's victory of 3x0 results in Dynamo's elimination and a 3x2 win wouldn't be enough for Fakel to advance.


    So I reckon the possibilities where Zenit could be sent out is a 3x1 Fakel with +11, +12, then Fakel and Moscow advance. A 3x1 win to Fakel with less than + 10, Zenit and Dynamo go through and over + 13 would be Zenit and Fakel. In case it is +10 or +13, Zenit would be even in most of the criteria with Fakel and Moscow respectively and probably the team that scored more would advance but I am not sure.

  • This is also what I was thinking. I hope Fakel wins tomorrow by 3x1 over 12. I prefer Fakel and Dynamo in the Semis.

  • Some news about Kazan:

    - Verbov will be the new coach

    - Micah has already signed for two seasons.

    - Bednorz, Voronkov, and Surmachevsky stay for one more season.

  • Kurkaev changed his serve

  • The feint (i don't know how to call that set) from Tisevich to Lyzik was so good.

  • Kurkaev changed his serve

    He's been struggling with this change this season IMO, in spite of a good run here and there. I think if he doesn't adjust and get more consistent he should stick to the floating in Tokyo.

    PS: I was meant to comment on Yakovlev's serve yesterday. Is it just me or his efficiency in serving has dropped a lot?
