Lolss.. just asking because after game 1 , you mentioned how electrifying the atmosphere was in the stadium. I thought you might want to watch game 2 live ! This SM mall must be quite big to have a sport venue like this, aside from the shops etc

I missed the games today live but I did watch the games live the past weeks. Creamline vs Choco Mucho are always guaranteed to have the biggest crowd since they are the most popular teams. A game vs Creamline and Choco Mucho reached 19k attendance before, even if that's just a regular elimination round game
They are on a different venue for today, on a different city vs Game 1:
Finals Game 1 venue: SM Mall of Asia Arena (same venue as VNL 2023)
Finals Game 2 venue: Araneta Coliseum (same venue as VNL 2022)
Fantastic

New PVL team Farm Fresh (6-month old club team) taps Kurashiki Ablaze Head Coach Hideo Suzuki as Team Consultant
Here is a video of an intriguing match between North and South Korea at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in October. The video was not available at that time. North Korea no.12. Kim Hyon Ju has the potential to join a team in a top Asian league. I hope she has the opportunity to play overseas. It will help develop her skills, have a chance to experience living abroad and earning more money

Why North Korea didnt play in Asian Championships?
Why North Korea didnt play in Asian Championships?
I think they were invited but decided not to enter a team. The last time they took part in an Asian Championship hosted by a country other than China was in 1991 when Thailand was the host. And even for the Asian Games, they have participated only when China was the host since 1990 (1990, 2010 and 2023 editions). Aside from these two tournaments they have participated in some events in Vietnam iirc. It seems that they consider some countries to be friendlier than others. Even though it’s hard not to be friends with Thailand (the host of 2023 Asian Championships).
My personal view is that politics shouldn’t interfere with sports, but some readers may disagree. I respect their opinion.
Another Japanese coach will be coaching a team in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) of the Philippines. Petro Gazz announced Coach Koji Tsuzurabara as their new Head Coach.
Coach Koji Tsuzurabara is the former Head Coach of Chinese Taipei National Team, Japan VLeague Men's team Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler, Malaysia Men's NT and Myanmar Men's NT, among others. He is the 2nd Japanese Head Coach in the league following Coach Taka Minowa. Other teams has Japanese team consultants like Coach Hideo Suzuki of Kurashiki Ablaze.
Petro Gazz yesterday announced their newest player - Brooke Van Sickle from University of Hawaii (NCAA) who is a Fil-Am and will play as a local.
