Three pairs look interesting. Hive account@browery ended the League Stage 9th and Hive account@fredkese 24th, so in theory this is a no brainer. However, the total score of the former was 96, while Hive account@fredkese scored 119 and simply had bad luck with his opponnents.

Then we have two derby matches. Polish one between Hive account@sk1920 and Hive account@cezary-io. Also two representatives of East Asia, Hive account@itz.inno and Hive account@revlat35 will play against one another.
