On the other hand, following strong performances in Japan, both #12 Maister and #9 MkLeo were able to overcome some of their demons during the event, with Maister defeating #13 {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-1, his first win on Dabuz since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}; and MkLeo defeating #11 {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-1 and #7 {{Sm|ShinyMark}} 3-0, his first win on the two since {{Trn|Pound 2022}} and {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}, respectively. Maister is also the only other player, outside of Zomba, to have a 3-0 record in his pool. Ironically, MkLeo was ultimately eliminated by Zomba (both in group stage and in loser's quarters for 5th), a player who he had defeated in their last three encounters prior to this event. | On the other hand, following strong performances in Japan, both #12 Maister and #9 MkLeo were able to overcome some of their demons during the event, with Maister defeating #13 {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-1, his first win on Dabuz since {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}; and MkLeo defeating #11 {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-1 and #7 {{Sm|ShinyMark}} 3-0, his first win on the two since {{Trn|Pound 2022}} and {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}, respectively.
