News Update:

• Better than expected news for GS Caltex regarding Aliona Martiniuc (Ali). A spokesman for GS stated on Monday (Feb. 18th) said that the patellar tendonitis on Ali's left knee have worsen. In one of the article, it was written that it usually take between 1-2 weeks of rest to recover from this kind of injury. GS have two games this week, on Wednesday (Feb. 20th) they play against KGC Ginseng and on Saturday (Feb. 23rd) they meet league leader Heungkuk. It is likely that Ali will miss their match against KGC but it unclear if Ali will be able to play against Heungkuk. Sources: 1, 2, 3
• Apparently Heungkuk are currently testing a new volleyball from Korean company Star Sports (Star). In recent time there have been more talk about changing the ball uses in Korean V-League to the Mikasa ball in order to help the players in international competitions. KOVO and KVA are in a difficult position as to whether or not to cut ties with a long time partner/sponsor of the local league. Hence Star was ask to make a volleyball with characteristics more similar to that of the Mikasa ball. From the news report, Heungkuk players are saying the new ball from Star is heavier and harder.

seems like heungkuk just needs 3 wins with straight sets or 3-1 to secure #1. if hipass wins all their games they'd be at 60points but will still loose to heungkuk over wins and lost. gs... the started the season so strong, momentum got lost somewhere. hyundai and kgc just needs to keep taking atleast 1 point from each game then heungkuk will be champs. if all is true. heungkuk will celebrate their win at kgc on March 3rd.

League leader Heungkuk are on 51 points (17 wins), Hi-pass are on 45 points (16 wins), and IBK are on 45 points (15 wins).

I'm not sure myself but by my calculation Heungkuk need at least 10 points from their remaining 5 matches to win the regular season championship.

If Heungkuk were to get 3 wins and 9 points out of their remaining 5 matches then they will be on 60 points and 20 wins. However, if Hi-pass were to win all 5 of their remaining matches with a maximum 15 points, Hi-pass would be on 60 points and 21 wins. That would mean that Hi-pass will be the regular season champion as Heungkuk would have 1 less win. So if Heungkuk were to get 61 points at the end instead, then it doesn't matter how many wins they have compare to the other 3 teams remaining in the race.

Similarly, if IBK were to win all 5 games and get 15 points and Heungkuk get 3 wins and 9 points. Then both teams would be levelled on 60 points and 20 wins. After points and wins, the winner will be decided by set ratios and then points ratios.

So for Heungkuk to be sure of winning 1st place, they must get 61 points.

Anyway, an important win for IBK against Hyundai. This win take IBK back into the playoffs position and push GS Caltex down to 4th place. GS Caltex still have a chance as they are only 2 points away from both IBK and Expressway Hi-pass.

Round 6 will kick off with an exciting match up as IBK play host to GS this Saturday. Then on the following day, Hyundai E&C will host Hi-pass, with the former having beaten the latter the last two times they have met. A loss for Hi-pass and IBK will only benefit Heungkuk.

Looking forward to the final round and how it will play out for the remain 4 teams left in the race for this season championship.

What an effort by Heungkuk in the 1st set. At the 2nd TO, Heungkuk were trailing GS Caltex by 6 points but some how they managed to crawl their way back before facing 2 set points. After saving the first set point, Heungkuk make a wonderful team play to save the second set point. Kim Hae-Ran with the dig as she falling backward and Lee Jae-Yeong chasing that ball down toward the bench. Heungkuk then withstood GS second attack before Jae-Yeong's backcourt spike help forced the error from GS. At that point, GS entire game went downhill from there.

Heungkuk were lucky that KGC Ginseng managed to take a point away from Expressway Hi-pass in the other match that night. Now with a 6 points gap from 2nd place Hi-pass, Heungkuk are in pole position to secure an automatic finals spot if they stay in 1st place at the end of the regular season.

GS Caltex had a terrible Round 5, as they only managed 1 win from 5 matches. GS will now be hoping that Hyundai E&C can get another win over IBK Altos to keep them ahead of IBK on wins otherwise they get push out of the final playoffs spot.

News Update:

• The Korean media are reporting that Lavarini will coming to Korea on February 28th and stay until March 3rd. During Lavarini visit, he will watch 3 V-League matches, GS vs Hyundai on 1st, KGC vs Heungkuk on 2nd, and Expressway vs GS on 3rd. Sources: 1, 2

Rains Yeah I was not expecting a foreigner to be name as the Korean NT head coach either.

I think the Korean players a pretty strong, obviously not as strong as the Americans, Brazilians, or the Europeans, but still fairly strong. I thing the main problem is that a lot of the players are worn out after a 30 games regular season in their domestic league.

For me, I want to see Lavarini help improve the younger players techniques and decision making. However, I'm not sure if he has enough time to make effective changes.

Wow, the fight for the playoffs is crazy this year. Heungkuk Pink Spiders will finish Round 5 as the leader as they are now on 48 points (5 points lead) with 1 match remaining in the round for each team. However, GS Caltex (2nd), Expressway Hi-pass (3rd), and IBK Altos (4th) are not far behind and are all tied on 43 points now. IBK Altos were the biggest loser from the weekend as they were rank 2nd but wins to GS Caltex and Expressway Hi-pass have now pushed them out of the playoffs as IBK Altos have 1 less win. The defending champion Expressway Hi-pass somehow managed to get back into the fight for the championship after a pretty bad start to the season. GS Caltex were lucky with a timely win against KGC Ginseng to help them stop a 3 match losing streak.

Still any of these 4 teams could still claim the regular season championship (and secure their place in the finals series) or be knock out of the playoffs. www.kovo.co.kr/game/v-league/11210_team-ranking.asp

Upcoming Schedules:

With this loss to Hyundai E&C, any chances of KGC Ginseng making the playoffs have now disappeared. What's worse for KGC is that Hyundai have now overtaken them for 5th and KGC now find themselves in last places. IMO the duration of Alaina's absence was much too long and it cost KGC dearly. Maybe they should have look for a replacement but who know if they were any other players available. Also I can't see KGC keeping Alaina for next season. Alaina had a good 1st season (2016/17) but KGC have now failed to make the playoffs for this season and the previous one.

KGC Ginseng still have a very very very slim chance of making the playoffs. KGC currently have 5 wins and 17 points, with 8 matches remaining. Firstly, KGC needs to win all their matches by 3-0 or 3-1 so that they finish with 41 points and 13 wins. secondly GS Caltex needs to lose all their remaining 9 matches without a single point to finish on 40 points and 14 wins. Thirdly, KGC will also need Expressway Hi-pass (who currently ranked 4th with 34 points and 12 wins) to defeat GS Caltex twice (by 3-0 or 3-1) and then lose their other seven matches without getting a single point to finish on 40 points and 14 wins too. So basically, KGC will need a miracle.
