And now the Cup semifinals:
Stuttgart - Schwerin 2:3 (25:18 20:25 25:18 25:27 8:15)

MVP: Maria Segura / Lindsey Ruddins
Aachen - Potsdam 0:3 (21, 28, 23)
http://live.volleyball-bundesliga.de/2022-23/Women/8113.pdf
MVP: Lara Davidovic / Anett Nemeth
So the big final will be Schwerin vs Potsdam
It's kind of pure theoretical consideration, but to me it looks like Stuttgart was today missing both a leading captain and high efficiency scorer, both being Rivers. Usually Lee and Kuenzler should be strong enough anyway to defeat Schwerin, but they were not today and also Stuttgarts middles were unusually ineffective.

No Captain-Rivers. And Lee played the entire match as an Oppo. This match got very messy. Stuttgart not looking like the league leaders of last season.

Main reason seems to be, that Suhl produced too many mistakes, due to the statistics.
Highlights of Cup semifinals:
There is a rumor that Suhl management is again on the market for setter.

Their press release about signing Liu sounded like she was a temporary solution, so I'm pretty sure they're looking for someone better in the long run.
Remember that VBL has introduced this new league especially to ease things up for going to first league by attending second league pro first, to lower the steps of promotion from one big to two smaller steps. Otherwise they would not have done it. But we will see in February how things turn out.
I know what the new league was introduced for. But from my point of view, the question for the two clubs from Borken and Stralsund is whether they want to take this intermediate step to the 2nd Bundesliga Pro or whether they want to be promoted directly to the Bundesliga. Both certainly have their advantages and disadvantages. For me personally, that is the explanation why the two clubs have not yet submitted a proper license application, such as Grimma.
Dresden's journey back home from the CEV Cup match turned into a mess: due to bad weather conditions the flight from Milano to Munich was delayed, so they missed their flight from Munich to Dresden and the next plane got cancelled, so eventually they had to spend the night on the airport in Munich because no hotel rooms were available Today a bus picked them up from Munich, but on their back to Dresden they got stuck in traffic, and they have to travel right from Dresden to Schwerin for tomorrow's match (live on free TV). Also their luggage hasn't arrived in Dresden yet

Djokic didn't get many chances to play so far, but whenever she did she was just tragic I wonder if she has problems to adapt in a new surrounding.

I dont know what is problem, she only have 2 balls in attack and no blocks. Bad receptions or they ignore her?
Dresden wants to transform Wesser into an OPP.
That's weird. So Dresden has 3 OPP and 3 OH. I wonder if they will hire another OH or if maybe Grbavica will be trasnformed into an OH?

I was wondering about that, too. Wesser actually had a decent reception and was doing fine as OH. I am curious whether it was her decision or Waibl's.
Is Dambrink already with the team?

The last time she played when Cekulaev was absent, she looked completely lost on the court, It definitely looked like a mental problem, not a physical one.

Schwerin hasn't even officially announced her yet, so I think she's not. I think they wanted to have the transfer done before the Cup semifinal so she's available for the final, even if she isn't with the team yet.
1. I couldn't watch the match yet but I really wonder how this happened

1. they are tired after cev cup match
2. idk in social networks she look very well connected with Cekulaev, Savolkel, Nemeth and Savic

Well Dresden also had CEV Cup match with a horrible journey back home. And about Djokic, maybe it's a problem with the coach Potsdam's players in general seem to get along with Hernandez very well, but he's surely not the easiest coach out there...
