Woori Financial Capital claimed the top spot in the Professional Billiards Association (PBA) Team League Round 1. In the opening round held last July, Woori Financial Capital swept Harim with a set score of 4-0 in the final, securing the first postseason ticket. With this, the team has reached the postseason stage for three consecutive seasons.

Meanwhile, Harim, who narrowly fell short of the championship, and last season's champion Hana Card will seek to restore their pride in Round 2, which kicks off on the 12th. Hana Card led with an overwhelming five-game winning streak early on but was knocked out of the title race after suffering three consecutive losses in the latter half. Harim also competed for first place until the final stages but had to settle for runner-up.

Teams that bolstered their rosters with new acquisitions also saw disappointing results. High1 Resort strengthened its squad by signing Kang Ji-eun and Eddy Leppens (Belgium), but struggled in Round 1, finishing 9th with 2 wins and 7 losses (7 standing points). Welcome Savings Bank also remained in 8th place with 3 wins and 6 losses (11 standing points). The newly established Breakers, joining as the 10th franchise, pulled off an upset by defeating Huons 4-0 in the opening match, but then fell into an eight-game losing streak, sinking to last place with 1 win and 8 losses (5 standing points).

In related news, the Professional Billiards Association (PBA, President Yoon Young-dal) announced on the 10th that the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League Hwaseong Special City Tour 2026-27' will be held from the 12th to the 20th at the indoor gymnasium of Hwaseong Comprehensive Sports Town in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.
