Question from a reader:
Is there a possibility for Okada Saki to win MVP? Or is there none?
Considering Okada Saki’s MVP Possibility
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion around the possibility of Okada Saki winning MVP. I must say, the excitement surrounding the M League is remarkable, and it has prompted me to think deeply about this. Particularly concerning is the fact that she is currently trailing by 504 points, which clearly puts her in a challenging position.
The Challenge of Point Calculation
With 24 regular season matches
remaining, this means that, following the usual rotation, each player will have about six games. For Okada to score over 900 points is a significant hurdle. Considering the point difference with Takeuchi Genta, even if she finishes in first place, if Takeuchi ends up in fourth, the gap would only close by about 100 points. Repeating this scenario is quite difficult. Moreover, to aim for MVP, she must achieve outstanding results compared to other players. Hypothetically, even if Okada manages to score the top points of 140,000 in each of the remaining matches, she would need to maintain that performance for nine consecutive games. With only six matches left, every result becomes crucial, making it evidently tough.
The Uncertainty of Advancing to the Semifinals
Additionally, whether the team can advance to the semifinals while currently sitting in eighth place is also uncertain. It won’t be easy for Okada to elevate her individual performance amid the team’s overall struggles. Furthermore, given the recent issue of inappropriate comments towards reporters, I worry that this added pressure might weigh heavily on her. Considering these circumstances, I can confidently say that the possibility of her winning MVP is quite low. As her fan, I wish to support her, but it is also important to face reality.
In Conclusion
While I hope for Okada’s future matches, it’s necessary to analyze the current situation rationally. If she can make it to the semifinals, perhaps new opportunities will arise. However, the reality remains that winning MVP is a daunting task. What does everyone think? If you have opinions on Okada’s future or the M League, please feel free to share in the comments. I’m also very curious about how she will navigate through this situation.
