- Umehara must not lose 3-0 this match, because there's still a chance that Xian will surpass him to 1st place due to GD. (14-3 vs. 9+3)
- Poongko won't get 2nd place even if he wins 3-0 this match, due to head-to-head result vs. Xian.

Xian (Zan U2) 0-3 Gackt (Fei U1) 14703v
1-2 *questionable okizeme at the end of this very close 3R
0-2 (Xian changed to Roleto U1)
0-2 (Xian changed to Poi U1)

- Xian just casually pulled a can of Red Bull off the fridge behind him after the first game.
- Xian said this's not collusion. (Though it appeared that it was, as the result of this match won't matter to him. Gackt will at least earn achievement of being 3rd place, which is good on profile.)
- The result of this match makes Poongko 4th place.
- The commentator said Red Bull is from Austria, despite the fact that it's from Thailand.
