The first leg of the ISTAF SuperSeries 2013/14 season kicked off in the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi, India from 29 August 2013 to 1 September 2013. This is the first ISTAF SuperSeries tournament held outside South East Asia, demonstrating ISTAF's vision of its global promotion of the sport.[1]

ISTAF SuperSeries India 2013/14 was held over 4 days which brought 12 nations together and a total of 17 teams participating in this elite sepaktakraw tournament. The shocker in this ISS was the quarter-finals round between second placed Korea from Group C and first placed Thailand from Group A.

Korea knocked out Thailand in 3 straights sets to proceed on to the semi-finals stage, and unfortunately for Thailand who could only content with a fifth-placed finish.

Host India was given a pass into the quarter-finals where they defeated Iran but missed out on the making it to the finals after being edged out by Malaysia in the semi-finals stage.[2] Malaysia then went on to meet with Korea, who proved to be worthy winners of the ISS India leg of the season despite losing their opening group match.

India Women's team faced a tougher route as they were seeded fourth and were edged out by Vietnam and Indonesia in the group stages. The Women's finals was contested by Thailand and Indonesia who topped their group in the earlier round robin matches, leaving Vietnam and Malaysia to fight for third.

For the first time, Sepaktakraw was broadcast to over 1.4 billion television audiences throughout the Indian sub-continent through a landmark partnership between Asia Sports Ventures and Doordarshan.[3]

The series 2 of the 2013–14 ISTAF SuperSeries was staged at Fashion Island (Bangkok) in Bangkok, Thailand from 26 to 29 September 2013.[4] It was the third time that ISTAF SuperSeries has returned to Thailand, since hosting the inaugural tournament in 2011 and the final series of the 2011-2012 season. In this series, a change was made to the group stage matches where teams played to a best of three sets instead of the usual 5 sets, up to 15 points. This decision was made to benefit teams who have to play more matches on the same day to prevent wearing out the players.

With South Korea creating an upset over Thailand in the previous leg, Thailand is eager to draw blood on their home ground and displayed full dominance as they put up a flawless team performance to beat Iran in less than 20 minutes for their opening group match.[5] They then pushed through their way to the finals without dropping a single set. Malaysia was close behind, finishing second, after an incredibly tight match against South Korea in the semi-finals.

The Thailand women's team also cruised to a victory over South Korea in the finals while Vietnam outlasted Malaysia in a classic ranking match between the two beaten semi-finalists.[6] In the 5th t0 7th placing matches, China defeated both India and Japan to secure extra World ranking points while India finally recorded their first win over Japan in series.

The 2013–14 ISS Series 2 Thailand was televised on Thailand's leading network Channel 3.[7] Sports fans in the region got to enjoy almost eight hours of live TV coverage, as well as selected matches featuring the Thai men's and women's teams.

Team Allocation

[edit]

The group stage of the men's event saw 11 teams dividing into 3 groups of 3 and 1 group of 2, while the first round of the women's race, saw 8 women's teams equally divided into 2 groups.

The group stage result is based on points accumulated, the top 2 teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals or playoff stage.

The third round of the ISTAF SuperSeries 2013/14 season was held in Likas Sports Complex in Sabah, Malaysia from 31 October to 3 November 2013.

Heading into this third leg, Host Malaysia find themselves on top of the ISTAF SuperSeries 2013/14 season rankings, having finished second in the earlier two legs. They are joined by 8 other countries in the Men's Divisions. In the Women's division, there was a total of 5 teams joining this leg of the tournament after Korea failed to appear at ISS Sabah 2013/14.

Host Malaysia faced a scare in the quarter-final match against neighbours Singapore but managed to turn their rhythm around with the substitution of their striker, Hanafiah Dollah. Malaysia then proceeded to take down Japan in the semi-finals in three straight sets and met with Thailand in the finals, who won their semi-finals match against Indonesia. Malaysia took down the first two sets in the finals[8] but Thailand came back strong with the substitution of their server. Tanawat Chumsena took over the serving circle from first choice server Rattadech Noijaroen. Eventually, Thailand proved to be too strong for the hosts, causing Malaysia to ultimately fail in their quest to clinch a win before thousands of home fans.[9]

The Women's group stage matches saw host Malaysia cruising through to the quarter-finals after Korea failed to turn up. Unfortunately for the host, Malaysia finished second behind Vietnam and went on to meet Thailand, who topped group B, in the semi-finals. At the end of the day, it was Thailand who emerged victorious against Vietnam, experimenting with a two strikers formation at the net.

ISTAF SuperSeries Malaysia 2013/14 was televised on ASTRO Arena, providing eight hours of live TV coverage to sports fans around the region, including selected matches featuring the Malaysia National teams.

This leg of the tournament also saw the introduction of the Ultra Slow Motion cameras which raised the level of Television production for the ISTAF SuperSeries tournament.

The finals of the ISTAF SuperSeries 2013/14 season was held at the Tittiwangsa Stadium in Kuala Lumpur from 5 to 9 March 2014.[11]

With such a strong crowd support for Sepaktakraw in Malaysia as seen in the Sabah leg of the tournament, ISTAF decided to hold the finals of the ISS 2013/14 in the capital of Malaysia this time round. Malaysia and Thailand, the two great powerhouses of Sepaktakraw enter into the finals being on level in their ISS ranking points.[12] There was a total of 22 teams, 9 Women's and 13 Men's including the introduction of a wild card team, France, after a solid performance in the inaugural ISTAF World Cup 2011.

The Men's finals match of the ISS KL Finals proved to be a repeat of the ISS Sabah leg, setting the stage for an explosive tussle for Gold between Malaysia and Thailand. At the end of the day, it was Thailand who emerged overall champion despite Malaysia having home ground advantage. Korea returned to the ISTAF SuperSeries tournament after their missing out on the previous ISS Sabah leg, and finished off the season with a satisfactory third place in ISS KL Finals.

In the Women's competition, Malaysia entered the finals for the first time in ISTAF SuperSeries history under the lead of their star striker Rahilah Binti Harun and delighting the home crowd. They came up against Thailand in the finals, who has retained the title since the start of the ISTAF SuperSeries tournaments. Although it was a step up for the host, Thailand still proved to be a class above and clinched Gold for the 8th consecutive time. In the 3rd/4th placement match, Indonesia finished their ISTAF SuperSeries 2013/14 journey with a well-deserved and hard-won Bronze in the ISS KL finals against Myanmar.
