'Ace'Murat Najee Choclu (Turkiye) left for a while, but Hana Card was strong. The power of the PBA team's first-round winning team remained unchanged.

Hana Card won a complete set score of 4-0 against Harim in the first day of the second round of the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2025-2026' held at Goyang Kintex PBA Stadium' in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province on the 17th. As a result, Hana Card has won eight consecutive games until the first game of the second round after winning the first round (7 wins).

Hana Card, who won the first round, faced bad news ahead of the second round. Cho Clue, the team's ace, was rushed to Turkiye after being hit by an ice cap. Choclu led his team to victory in the first round with an outstanding performance of 12 wins and 6 losses (3 wins and 3 losses in singles, 9 wins and 3 losses in doubles) with Aberge 2.038.




However, he was unable to play in the second round because he returned to Turkiye to play the ice skating championship.

Hana Card recruited Hwang Hyung-beom, who played for Crown Haitai last season, as a substitute for Cho Klu. According to Article 15 of the PBA Team League Tournament Summary, a team can designate and operate a substitute player if a registered player is injured or unable to play due to unavoidable reasons. Hwang Hyung-beom joined temporarily, but the weakening of the power seemed inevitable.

However, Hana Card showed off its robustness by completely overpowering Harim with teamwork.




Nguyen Kuok Nguyen (Vietnam) and Shin Jung-ju, who played in the first set (men's doubles), defeated Harim's Kim Young-won and Kim Jun-tae 11-1 in just three innings. In the second set (women's doubles), Kim Ga-young and Kim Jin-ah beat Park Jung-hyun and Kim Sang-ah 9-2 (5 innings) in five innings to make the set score 2-0.

Hana Card, which gained momentum, won the fourth set (mixed doubles) after Nguyen defeated Tran Deuk-min (Vietnam) 15-4 (8 innings) in the third set (men's singles). Hwang Hyung-beom, who joined as a substitute, played in collaboration with Kim Ga-young. Hwang Hyung-beom and Kim Ga-young combined for four high runs in the seventh inning with a 5-4 lead and defeated Nguyen Phuong Lin (Vietnam) and Information Yoon with a 9-4 (7 innings).

Meanwhile, Huons, who finished at the bottom of the first round, beat NH Nonghyup Card 4-2 in a set score and escaped five consecutive losses, while also winning his first victory in the second round. Huons started the second round with a victory after Robinson Morales beat Mamin Gum (Vietnam) 11-9 (11 innings) in the fifth set (Men's Singles) at a set score of 2-2, and Lee Shin-young beat Kim Min-ah 9-7 (11 innings) in the sixth set (Women's Singles).




Welcome Savings Bank beat SK Rent-a-Car 4 to 1 with the 2nd win performance of 「Mr. Magic」Semi Signor (Turkiye). Crown Haitai also beat SY 4-2, and Woori Financial Capital added one win by struggling to defeat High1 Resort 4-3 after a full set battle.
