The Goyang Sono Skygunners completed a thrilling comeback on their inaugural East Asia Super League (EASL) stage, gifting fans an unforgettable night.

Sono announced on the afternoon of the 22nd that it successfully concluded the 'Goyang Sono Skygunners Viewing Party' held at the Ilsan One Mountain Event Plaza on the 21st. The event was planned to resonate with the official fandom, 'WINNERS,' in commemoration of the club's first EASL appearance.

Sono's viewing party, now in its second edition following last season, was conducted for 100 fans who purchased tickets. Catering and cold-weather supplies were provided on-site, and various performances and group cheering sessions blended together to present a new model of KBL club cheering culture.

The event opened with a performance by the Sono cheerleading team 'Twinkle' and heated up with rapper Deep Flow's 'Tip-off Stage.' Deep Flow premiered his dedicated cheering song 'WINNERS,' which he personally wrote and composed for the fans, along with a new season cheering song, igniting the on-site atmosphere. After the game started, MC Issue and youth coach Ham Jun-hoo, a former original member of Sono, captivated fans both inside and outside the venue with their unique wit through biased commentary.

The game itself was an unscripted drama. Against Taiwan's TSG Ghosthawks, Sono trailed by 11 points, 79-90, with two minutes and 12 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, facing a likely defeat. However, four consecutive three-pointers exploded late in the game, instantly flipping the score to 91-90.

In the subsequent overtime, ace Lee Jung-hyun and captain Jung Hee-jae calmly sank free throws to close out the tight contest. The final score was 99-94. It was a valuable first victory in the club's inaugural EASL game.

Fan Ko Ji-soo, who attended the event, said, "It was a unique experience to resonate with fans outdoors," adding, "Thanks to the club's meticulous preparation and the dramatic comeback win at the end of the game, it became an even more thrilling and unforgettable memory."

Sono General Manager Hwang Myung-ho stated, "We are grateful to the WINNERS fans who stayed until the end despite the chilly weather and sent us passionate cheers," adding, "Going forward, we will continue to lead a special viewing culture by interacting more closely with our fans."
