Hyundai Capital Skywalkers will have only one win left in the men's first treble (winning the cup tournament, regular league, and championship game).

Hyundai Capital won set-score 3-1 (25-22, 29-31, 25-19, 25-23) in the second game of the men's championship match between the Korean Air Jumbos and Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Yoo Gwan-soon Gymnasium in Cheonan on the 3rd.

Hyundai Capital has only one win left until winning the championship match in six years as it caught the first game and the second game.




In the first game, Hyundai Capital laughed 3-1. However, Korean Air's momentum was better than expected. There was a scene where it collapsed due to a mistake, but it showed a performance equal to or higher than that of Hyundai Capital throughout the game.

Ahead of the second leg, Hyundai Capital coach Philip Blanc said, "'Fighting is important in a game like a championship game.'" He added, "We need to focus on the present to show the best concentration to the team." I'm going to play in a tremendous game, and I'm grateful to the fans who will set the tone." In particular, as he struggled in receiving in the first game, "It would be better than the first game if he could get a little more stable floater serve."
