Among them, Wang Yidi and Liang Jingkun were upset, which is unacceptable.
Wang Yidi's opponent in the 1/8 knockout round is Japanese teenager Miwa Zhangmoto. Although Wang Yidi stumbled in the group stage, he always felt that it was a test. After the successful promotion, Wang Yidi should make adjustments. In the first game, both sides got into the groove quickly. The scores alternate leads. The two sides fought fiercely to 10-10, and Zhang Benmei made a decisive move and won 12-10. In the second game, Wang Yidi started again and quickly equalized the score 11-6. In the third and fourth games, Zhang Benmei and the firepower were full, and Wang Yidi shrank back. Zhang Benmei won two games in a row, 11-8, 11-6. Leading 3-1 and winning match points. In the crucial fifth game, Wang Yidi wanted to take the initiative again, but the opponent was more vigorous! The two sides were entangled to 14-14, and Zhang Benmeihe once again seized the opportunity and won 16-14. In the end, Wang Yidi lost to Zhang Benmei 1-4 and was eliminated.
Liang's opponent is Carlberg. In the previous Incheon Championship, the two had played each other. At that time, Liang Jingkun narrowly defeated his opponent 4-3. Meeting again, Liang Jingkun started with momentum and soon won the first game 11-3. It's a pity that Liang Jingkun was in a sluggish state next, and was beaten by the opponent for three games in a row, and won the match point game with 3-1. Of course, Liang Jingkun, who won the tiebreaker, once again exerted his might and won two games in a row. The score is 3-3. Everyone thought that Liang Jingkun won another tiebreaker. The result was disappointing this time. Liang Jingkun lost 6-11. In the end, Liang Jingkun lost to Carlberg 3-4 and failed to advance to the quarterfinals.
The other two world champions, Chen Xingtong and Lin Shidong, were both eliminated in the civil war. Chen Xingtong's opponent is Sun Yingsha.
