highest |
| pre-tournament
seeding points will avoid one of the top 32 seeded players in Round 1 of
Phase 2. |
|

| A relatively
straightforward 1st place for Géza after the second highest rated player in
the group had to be defaulted. Alan, playing in his first |
| tournament,
also took full advantage, edging out Walter for 2nd place, and is the second
lowest-rated player to make it as far as Phase 2! |

highest-rated players in this group qualified but Ula did well to finish
ahead of Petra. Gabriel, Singapore's first-ever entrant, was |
| the
lowest-rated player in the whole tournament (pre-tournament lobby ranking =
542) and did very well to finish 3rd, just above Darryl. |
