As the PBA Team League reaches its halfway point, expectations are building over whether NH Nonghyup Card NH pay, which has produced two champions within a month, can secure a ticket to the postseason.

The Professional Billiards Association (PBA) will hold Round 4 of the 'Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2026-2027' for nine days from the 31st to November 8 at the 'Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium' in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. This marks a resumption after about a month and a half since the conclusion of the previous Round 3 in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province.

In the PBA Team League, the winning team of each of the five regular rounds earns a postseason berth. In Rounds 1 through 3, Woori Financial Capital Woori WON Wevis, Huons Healthcare Legends, and Hana Card Hana Pay each lifted the round championship trophy, securing their postseason advancement.

With two tickets remaining, the competition for postseason qualification is set to heat up starting from this round.

In the event of a tie for first place, the teams advancing to the postseason will be determined by their overall standings. As of the end of Round 3, Hana Card (17 wins, 10 losses; 52 points) leads the standings, while Huons (20 wins, 7 losses; 51 points), Crown Rohtae Raon (17 wins, 10 losses; 50 points), and Harim Yonggaris (18 wins, 9 losses; 48 points) follow closely behind in second through fourth place, forming the top group.

Following them in fifth place are Woori Financial Capital (15 wins, 12 losses; 43 points), NH Nonghyup Card (12 wins, 15 losses; 39 points), S Builders (11 wins, 16 losses; 38 points), Welcome Savings Bank Welcome Phoenix (10 wins, 17 losses; 36 points), High1 Resort High1 Resort WINNERS (11 wins, 16 losses; 34 points), and PBA Breakers (4 wins, 23 losses; 14 points).

The simplest and easiest strategy to reach the postseason before the regular rounds conclude is winning a round. Even teams that have already secured their berth cannot afford to be complacent, as the postseason bracket format will be determined based on the final regular league overall standings.

The most eye-catching team is NH Nonghyup Card. In two individual tours held in October, Kim Bo-mi followed Jeong Su-bin in claiming her first career victory, showing further growth. With players from Kim Min-a to Jeong Su-bin and Kim Bo-mi all growing to a level where any of them can compete in singles, the team's match management has become more flexible. Despite sitting in sixth place, attention is focused on whether they can grab a postseason ticket by winning Round 4.

As each team ramps up preparations for Round 4, Welcome Savings Bank was the only team to make additional signings during this season's additional recruitment period. They bolstered their roster by signing Nguyen Chan Thanh Tao (Vietnam), the winner of the third tour, and Kang Yu-jin, who finished as runner-up in the third tour. Harim changed its team name from Harim Odd Growers to Harim Yonggaris, facing the round with a new atmosphere.

The opening match on the first day of Round 4, the 31st, will see Hana Card face Welcome Savings Bank starting at 12:00 p.m. Following that, NH Nonghyup Card will play Woori Financial Capital (main venue) and Crown Hite will face High1 Resort (auxiliary venue) at 3:00 p.m., while S-Y will play Harim at 6:00 p.m., and Huons will face the Breakers in their first match at 9:00 p.m.

Meanwhile, tickets for this tournament held at the 'Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium' can be purchased via NOL (Yanolja) ticket reservation or on-site.
