In the second round, Kim JiSuk (Captain), Cho HanSeong, Park JungHwan won In Korea and Tan Shao, Thi Jushi won in China. Totally, it was 5 to 5 but Korea won the first game (captain)
Park JungHwan decided the match for the last player but the hero was Kim JiSuk. The first game (captain) between Kim JiSuk and Pan TingWei was so important for both Korea and Chin. Kim JiSuk 9Dan turned the game out for him in the end and led the Korea's win. Mok JinSuk 9Dan commented about Kim JiSuk that he is a hero for Korea this time, and the game was also very interesting.
Last 19th, Korea got 2wins and 3 loses and faced second round with determined mind. In the second round, Korea won 3 games and lost 2 games but as Kim JiSuk 8Dan won the first game (captine), Korea won the ChoSang Cup this year. Korea won this ChoSang Cup for the first time, and China won last 2 times.
For China, Pan TingWei (captine) and Chen YaoYe's loses were very severe. Huo SheMing said about selection of players from China that we had a selected tournament for rank 16 players and Thi Jushi, Pan TingWei and Tan Shao were chosen by it. And Jang WeiJie and Chen YaoYe were chosen as they showed very good condition in the world championship recently. In the team tournament, after 80s like Guli, Kong Jie, Chang Hao are very famous but we give fair chances to all players and younger players got it in the end.
And for the results of second round, Huo ShaMing said that after 90s players need more experiences. Shi Wei and Pan TingWei seem to lose many games after win the world championship, but I think it is very common. They are very young with much potential, but they need just more experiences. We expect them to improve further and lead the China Baduk in the future.
