The main stage of the men's Baltic volleyball league, known as the Elme Messer Baltic League, has concluded with the determination of the quarterfinal pairings. Tartu Bigbank finished the main stage in second place after a convincing 3-0 win against Võru Barrus, collecting a total of 36 points throughout the season. This positioning allows them to secure a favorable matchup in the upcoming quarterfinals against a lower-ranked team. In contrast, Võru Barrus finished sixth with 25 points, resulting in a less advantageous pairing for the knockout stages.

In the decisive match, Tartu showcased strong performances from several key players. Jack Williams led the scoring with 16 points, supported by Martti Juhkami and Marx Aru, who contributed 15 and 13 points respectively. The team exhibited impressive statistics, with a 37% reception rate and a 57% attack efficiency. On the other hand, Võru Barrus had its standout player in Renato Santos, who scored 20 points, although the team's overall performance, especially in terms of errors, was less effective, which led to their defeat.

As the teams head into the quarterfinals, the outcomes of these matchups will be critical for determining the finalists of the competition. With Tartu Bigbank's strong showing in the regular season, they are considered one of the favorites, but the unpredictability of knockout matches means that all teams will need to bring their best performance to advance further in the league.
