The final round went Korea's scenario.  
Korea players won all against other countries' players in the final match of the double elimination.  

Korea got 4wins against Chinese players and 7 players step to round 16.

Won SungJin defending champion and rank 1~3 Park JungHwan, Lee SeDol, Choi ChelHan, Back HongSuk rank 6, Kang DongYun rank 7 and lastly An KookHun filled almost half of the round 16.

To review the previous results against Chinese players, 4 wins in the final match of the double elimination was good enough to cheer up.

Korea team's slump has been going these days. Korea team started with 4wins 8loses in the first match of the round 32 and only Won SungJin decided to be round 16 in the second match. But in the final match of the double elimination, Korea players showed great fighting spirit.

Park JungHwan said all members are high rankers in Korea who are in the round 16 and I am pretty satisfied with results and confidence to make good results in the round 16.

And Park 9Dan also said that after 90's generation in China are very strong and also many. I think they have more organized system to study after becoming pro. Korea players also go to Baduk school to study together but don't focus many times there. We should prepare better and better. I want to meet Guli 9Dan because I have not won a game against him and also hope to win the Samsung Cup.

Choi ChelHan said I also have promise when I win the tournament. I will dance with Park YoungHun and Won SungJin but changed partner to my wife. I think it is good to have a wife who knows Baduk and can understand better each other..

Rank 25 An KookHun won against XieHe 9Dan. An KookHun was behind from the beginning but when XieHe exchanged bad moves, he started to follow up and finally got the game. After the game, An KookHun said that I am really happy to win XieHe and also be in the round 16. I will play with Guli 9Dan in the next round, I hope to win and forward more.  

Even China got bad result in the final match, but high rankers and hot players are in the round 16, and expected to compete with Korea players severely.
