Korea fought back, led by LowHigh (Bryan), who prevailed over Arslan Ash (Nina) and Atif (Dragunov), while Mulgold secured wins against Farzeen (Victor) and Usama Abbasi (Jun). But Pakistan stayed firm, as TheJon notched up a crucial 2-1 win over Knee (Bryan).
According to the tournament format, Korea바카라™s eliminated players were revived for another shot, but Pakistan did not relent.

Atif (Dragunov) sealed the deal by eliminating Mulgold (Claudio) and Rangchu (Kuma) to confirm a 13-9 triumph for Pakistan.
