China edged out Iran in the final, earning $10,000 in prize money and denying their opponents a World Cup Team Championships Series treble after their successes in the male and female events.
China had beaten Morocco and India earlier in the day, while Iran – who took $7,000 in prize money – won their semi-final against the hosts Korea.
Korea had won their first match against Côte d'Ivoire, and defeated India to earn the bronze medal and $5,000 in prize money.
A total of 69 athletes from the six countries competed across the three days of the World Cup Team Championships Series, but it is just the start of an exciting week of events in Chuncheon.
