Description
5G defeated Norway and the United States in the 9th and 10th rounds of the tournament qualifying round in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the 22nd (Korea time).
5G defeated the U.S. team 9-3 in a 7-4 comeback victory over the Norwegian team.
As a result, 5G (8 wins and 2 losses) has secured a berth to the semifinals regardless of the results of the remaining two qualifying matches.
The preliminary round of the World Championship will be held in a round robin manner in which 13 countries will face each other once.
The first and second place in the preliminary round will go straight to the semifinals, and the third to sixth places will play the playoffs to win the remaining two places in the semifinals.
5G is currently tied for third place with Switzerland, and if it beats Denmark (6 wins and 4 losses) and Canada (10 wins) on the 23rd, it can aim for a direct advance to the semifinals.
Korea's best performance in the competition is the runner-up of 'Team Kim' (Gangneung City Hall) in 2022.
5G beat Tim Kim in the 2023-2024 national team selection match held in June last year and recaptured the national flag for the first time in four seasons.
