The ISTAF's Super Series men's editions saw Malaysia and Indonesia constantly fighting for the runner up spot, both coming in at second place twice.
Drawing from the support of their home crowd in Bangkok, the Thailand men's national men team joined from the playoff stage and showed their class by winning Singapore in quarter-finals, Japan in semi-finals as well as Indonesia in the final round, in straight sets to clinch the champion's spot.
Losing finalist – Indonesia came in second while South Korea defeated Japan to secure the men's bronze medal.
Meanwhile, the host country's female counterparts defeated semi-finalist Vietnam and the finalist South Korea in straight sets.
Thailand men's national team continued its winning streak to 8 matches, not dropping any of the 18 sets played during the process.
The final of the women's championship also saw favorites Thailand suffer a scare in the first set, losing 11-15 to the South Koreans.
However, after defeating Singapore, they ultimately fall to dominant Thailand in the semi-finals and eventually had to settle for a non-medal spot as they lost their third-place playoffs to South Korea.
In the finals, Thailand's reign as the number one team in the sport of sepaktakraw continued as they outplayed Indonesia in straight sets.
With the star presence of Payom Srihongsa, who scored 29 out of 30 successful spikes during the match, the Thailand women's national team clinched its third back-to-back gold medal in the first season of ISTAF SuperSeries.
In the fight for third, South Korea, runner up for two previous series continued to hold a spot on the podium as they overcame their disappointing semi-final defeat to triumph India 3-0.
Vietnam continued to secure its spot in second place in women's events,[5] and South Korea men's team finished their journey as the second runner-up.
Even though Germany eventually lost both its games to Malaysia and the United States, it did manage to gain two points in the group stage by winning two sets.
Malaysia's men national team came back strong in this edition as well, after its disappointing exit in the quarter-final to Indonesia in the previous series.
South Korea continues to show its defiance that the sport of sepaktakraw is dominated by South-East Asian countries, coming in at second runner-up for the third time in the season, still chasing after the elusive silver or gold medals.
