프로당구 휴온스 ‘강동궁 효과’ 짱짱…연승행진 다시 시동

The phenomenon known as the "Gangdong Gun Effect" has turned into a wild storm. Hooonses, who have risen from the ashes, are back on a winning streak. On the 4th day of the 'Welcomers and Regressors Bank PBA Team League (3rd Round) Pyeongang Tour 2026-2027', Hoon-es set aside a strong Gank-ho, Han-ka Card, with a 4-0 score in a set.

After losing to NHbank Card in the first of three rounds, Hoo-n-es bounced back with a 3-match winning streak to rise to 3rd place (9 points). Although Han-ka Card tied Hoo-n-es on points (9) in the second round (Wonsan Tour), they fell behind in set-winning ratio and settled for 4th place. During the first round of the second round, Hoon-es played 11 straight matches before being held back by NHbank Card.

However, they quickly bounced back and continued their winning streak. At the center of this is the transferred player Gang-dong Gun, who won the first set in singles mixed with Han-dong Lee. The momentum of the Hoon-es, with the pairing of Son-sol Kim and Ki-min Choi, also knocked out Han-ka Card's Kim-ga-you and Kim-jin-ai. The main contributor, Hoon-es' captain Choi Seong-won, dominated the 3rd set in singles with a score of 15-7 against Murata Naga Chou-clue in just 3 innings, and the 4th set in mixed doubles, where Mauler and Kim Yeon completed a 4-0 victory against Shin-jung Ju and Han-suk Gil.

Hoon-es' 10-match winning streak in the second round took the lead for the team and gave them the first round title. Gang-dong Gun's performance in the recent 3-match winning streak is attributed to his decisive spinning and Kim Seon's resolve. Analysts believe that the synergy effect from Gang-dong Gun's contribution is increasing.

On the day's games, Hi-yoon Ri-jote and Ha-rim also added victories, securing the first place in the 3rd round with a 4-match win. Hi-yoon Ri-jote defeated Brencker with a score of 4-3 in the last 7th set singles, while Ha-rim's Kim Jun-tae won 2-2 in set scores against Umoney, taking advantage of Jung-min-gu's 11-4 (4 innings) at the 5th set singles and 11-7 (9 innings) at the 7th set, finishing with no losses.

Hi-yoon Ri-jote and Ha-rim both recorded a 4-match win with a set-winning ratio of 2.667, but Hi-yoon Ri-jote's superior score-winning ratio placed them in 1st place. On the fifth day of the Pyeongang tour, games between Brencker-ES, Crown Heritage-Welcomers Bank, Hi-yoon Ri-jote-NHbank Card, Han-ka Card-Umoney Financial, and Ha-rim-Hoon-es will take place.
