Coway Blue Wheels will go straight to the championship game as the No. 1 team in the regular league.
Coway Blue Wheels coach Kim Young-moo said, `We were able to produce good results because the players did their best until the end without losing their concentration throughout the season"I'm not satisfied with winning the regular league, and I'll show my best performance in the championship game."
