Manse PP chose seventh in the regular season instead of eighth in the regular season. For others who qualified, the weakest of the remaining qualifiers were eligible.
Men Manse PP from Tampere, who won the Superpesis regular season for the first time, surprised the series at the semi-finals selection on Wednesday by deviating from the usual formula. Manse PP did not want to face the eighth place Pattijoki Athletes, but chose Imatra’s Pallo-Veikos as their opponent in the first round.
“Someone from there had to be picked up and couldn’t think so that some team would be easy or that we could get there easily. Reporting had to be done, but a unified line was found,” Manse PP’s game director Matti Iivarista was quoted in the series website.
Of the Imatra players, only five players have played in the playoffs in the past. In total, the IPV team has 58 playoff experience.

“A colorful series can be thrown away. They (IPV) have played really well and are thus an unpredictable team. We need preliminary work, we need to get to know our opponent and prepare for the series as well as possible,” Iivarinen reminded.

Haapakoski, Kosonen and Törmänen have all played more than 100 playoffs in their careers.
