The second stage of the Shadow Ranking Cup finally reached its end. And just like what everyone had expected, most of the participants that advanced to this round were the crowd favorites. There were also some dark horses that appeared here and there; though, there were not that good in the eyes of these 'bias' spectators.
Since the third stage of the tournament was a double elimination bracket, this stage was going to be quite a long one. Given this, the System Draws for the next matchups were immediately taken place right after all of the advancing participants were determined.
And since all of the positions of the advancing players had already been released, these participants were given some time to prepare for their next opponents.
