The second round of the PBA Team League…will Champion Park Jung-hyun's Harim keep the storm going?
The second round of the 'WelcomCherry Savings Bank PBA Team League Special Tour 2026-2027' kicks off at the Huamsong Comprehensive Recreation Center on December 12th. The highlight for spectators will be the performance of the powerful Hamir team. Having just finished as second place in last month's first round, they now enjoy a better team atmosphere.
Recently, players from the Hamir team dominated the top ranks of the 2026-2027 PBA-LPBA Individual Tour Eswy Championship, giving them a newfound confidence. After finishing eighth in the individual tournament's eight-finals, Kim Jung-Tae, the team's captain, has gained self-assurance after securing his first-ever championship title.
His impressive scoring ability has earned him the 'WelcomTopRanking' award. In the women's doubles and mixed doubles matches that often determine the outcome of games, Hamir stands out with their harmonious team composition, featuring Kim Sana, who has a history of winning championships, and Jin Ok-Seop, who has great chemistry with Jin Un-Kyung in mixed doubles.
Notable players such as Kim Yong-Won, who has won 4 out of 10 games this season, and Esway Tour Champion Award winner An Woo-Young, as well as An Woon-Min, contribute to the team's strong lineup. Among the strong contenders for the 2nd round title alongside Hamir are the recently formed Hanakard, who had a strong start with 5 consecutive wins but have since dropped off, and Hwajong-tour, which recently strengthened their roster with the signings of Jin Geun-Sun, Choo Klu, and An Woo-Min.
Other exciting matchups include the Brewer's 2-match losing streak and the resurrection of Hoon-Sung, who has lost 8 consecutive matches. The tournament organizers have made efforts to make the event free for all fans, with various fan events planned.
