[Deuce]
2-1 *very close/intense last round
2-0 *very close last round

- Umehara chose 2P side. Sako chose Snowy Railyard as usual.
- Sako chose Ultra 2.
- Umehara got hit by countless Okizeme, that's the sole reason he lost.
- After this fight, Sako is guaranteed at least 3rd place.

2-1 *Uryo successfully made Bon dizzy in 2nd round (finally)

- Bon chose Ultra 1, Uryo chose Ultra 2.
- Bon was clearly on drug (especially that one in Limitless movie). He played relentlessly aggressive like an action hero. He also made many right calls like eveything was scripted.

4.  Sako 2-10 Kazunoko
0-2 (advantage)
1-2 *perfect in 2nd round by Sako
1-2
0-2 *nice finish in 1st round by KZNK *KZNK dominated 2nd round

1-2 *close 1st round *epic 2nd round (very close)
2-1 *very close last round (both tried to get one last hit)
2-1
0-2 *perfect in last round by KZNK

- Kazunoko chose 2P side.
- Sako chose Ultra 1.
- Kazunoko only fell for Okizeme twice in the entire match! (It's not like Sako had many chances to do so, too.)
- After this fight, 2nd place is impossible for Sako due to GD. (He's now 100% 3rd place)
- If Kazunoko won 1-10 he would've gotten 4th place because Bon has advantage on head-to-head against him.
- Kazunoko used to say in TOPANGA TV that he was confident in winning one player in the Third Stage. He didn't tell who, but we guess it's probably Sako.

5. Fuudo 10-5 Umehara
0-2 (advantage)
0-2 *Shinkuu Hado finish in last round (Fuudo gave away by whiffing 2 DPs)

2-0
2-1
2-0 *Umeshoryu gave away 1st round

- Umehara chose 2P side.
- Fuudo chose Ultra 1.
- Umehara can still win the league if he wins +9 GD. (But that's nearly impossible.)
- Umehara had no clear answer to Fuudo's attacking, especially when chased to the corner.
- Umehara couldn't put pressure on Fuudo. Both UmeWalk and fireballs were too risky against Fuudo (high precision on counter-attacking).
- Umehara gave up half way of this match. (He would've won if it's first-to-five though!)
