Meanwhile, Se-dol Lee, Gu Li and Kong Jie who were most likely to win the championship drank a bitter cup of defeat together. The former LG Cup champions, Piao Wen Yao also didn't make it to the semi-finals.

In fact, the result might lose baduk fans' interest. However, as long as Chang-ho Lee lives in the tournament, it must be still exciting to baduk fans. Chang-ho Lee plays against Chen Shi Yuan in the quarter-finals.
