The Japanese media also highlighted the news of South Korea's elimination from the opening round of the 2024 Premier 12 (group league qualifying).
South Korea's hopes for No. 2 in the group disappeared regardless of the final result as Japan and Taiwan won the fourth Group B match of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 on the 17th. In this tournament, only the first and second places in Group A and Group B can advance to the Super Round in Japan, and South Korea was eliminated because it could not reach second place even if it won the final match.
It was painful to lose to Taiwan and Japan. Korea lost to Taiwan 3-6 on Saturday, the first match of the tournament. Korea then took a breather by winning against Cuba 8-4, but suffered a come-from-behind loss of 3-6 at the match between Korea and Japan on Saturday, putting the team on the verge of elimination. Korea seemed to revive itself with a 9-6 come-from-behind victory, which overturned a six-point gap in the match against the Dominican Republic on Sunday, but was eliminated with Japan and Taiwan's victory on Thursday. Although it can tie Taiwan with three wins and two losses in the final match, it is lagging behind Taiwan in the "winner victory" method of determining the tie rate of the tournament.
Korean baseball, which was in its golden age as a semifinalist at the World Baseball Classic in 2006, a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and a runner-up at the 2009 WBC, bowed its head in the 2013, 2017, and 2023 WBC. At the Premier 12, the team won the first tournament in 2015 and was the runner-up at the second tournament in 2019, but at this year's tournament, which was mainly composed of promising players, it was the pain of being eliminated from the preliminary round. 바카라사이트
The Japanese media were also surprised by the elimination of the first winner. Japanese sports media Daily Sports reported that the Korean national team continues its slump in international competitions due to the humiliation of the elimination of the first league. "Korea has been in a slump in international competitions recently, including the elimination of the first league for three consecutive tournaments in the WBC and the failure to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics," the media said.
Feeling the need for a generational change, the Korean national baseball team formed a team of young players with the goal of 2026 WBC and 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics, starting with the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games (AG) last year. The national team, which was evaluated as having succeeded in generational change with the AG gold medal, participated in the competition with the goal of advancing to the Super Round at the Premier 12, but failed to form an elite team due to several injuries just before the competition.
