Despite the knee injury, Jeon Kwang-In played the series, including Game 3, on a high level (20 points) and was voted MVP with 26 out of 29 votes of the media. This is the first-ever MVP award for a 27-year-old outside hitter. Two more Skywalkers starters played a decisive game, and the previous one, with injuries: Hungarian opposite Krisztián Pádár (back injury, 23 points) and setter Lee Seung-Won (right foot injury), which makes the success of the Cheonan team even more significant.
