It was pity that Shin Jinseo lost in the round 16 who has a lot of expectations from Baduk fans to win the first world championship as early as possible. But Park Junghwan and Lee Sedol 9P who are ranked at 1st and 2nd in Korea got into the round 8.

Park Junghwan 9P meets with Pan Yunle who is ranked at 17th in China showing great condition in the world champioship recently. And Lee Sedol 9P meets with Tang Weixing 9P in the round 8. Lee 9P has not really good memory on Tang 9P in the past. Tang 9P won against Lee 9P in the final of 2013 Samsung cup and became one of top player in the world. This would be chance for Lee 9P to revenge it.

The round 8 will be continued on 6th at the same place.

Park Jungwhan vs Pan Yunle

Lee Sedol vs Tang Weixing

Ke Jie vs Juo Luiyang

Thi Jiaxi vs Tan Shao
