"Belgian Bullet" Brechel is no. 4 in a single season, winning the Scottish Open this season. Before the start of the World Championships, Trump was ranked 4th in the world and Brechel was in 11th place in the century, so at the World Championships, Trump was the No. 4 seed, guarding the 2/4 zone, and Brechel was the No. 11 seed, in the 3/4 zone.
