- If the 2 Best Third Parties are from group A and B, the format will be as follows

If the 2 Best Third Parties are from group A and C, the format will be as follows

1B VS 3C

India - Kazakhstán

India did sent invitation to Kazakhstán.
I think we need cup rules, so I did.

Sent invite to UAE.

UAE has yet to accept my invite. Sent another invite in case first was rejected
(editado)

Ok Cometer, if your rival doesn't accept to invitation today, then you will win the match 3-0

Lets make some hype about quarters :)

India - Kazakhstán

My choice - India. Poey is an experienced coach and while I would love Dani to prove that Kazakhstan can stand a chance I believe that aspiration may not be sufficient in this match. Yet we know that sk match engine love underdogs :)

Nippon - Zhōngguó

My choice - BASED. Based on ranking and avg players mark China coach is a favorite here. Yet I'm ain't gonna surrender that easily :)

Australia - U.A.E.

My choice - Australia. Even thou I faced both teams in last two seasons I believe that cometer will be the one that will be the winner here. I see on Australian forum a lot of effort that is put into this NT, so I believe that semis against Philipinas will be one of the most interesting matches.

Pilipinas - Indonesia

My choice- Pilipinas. Once again I faced both teams. Grosik proved that he can handle Pilipinas NT well and I believe he will be the one to advance into semis. Match against Australia will be a decisive who will win this edition of tournament
(editado)

Turns our only 1 prediction was right on my side :D Congratz to all the winners and thank You all for this tournament :)

So 3/4 left in the tournament are all from the same group. I wasn't expecting that heading into matches this week. Glad to get through to the semi finals. Next week probably toughest match of the tournament so far for us.

Congrats to all the winners this week.

SF2: Australia vs Indonesia --> match invitation send. Away and cup system.
