– After the match, the 9th Dan made a determination, “I think it made my heart sober in the round of 16 and the 1st semi-final of this tournament, but in the final, I will show my Go with better content.” Regarding the opponent’s Shaker 8th Dan, “Go is unique and bouncing. Also, I think that he is a player to be careful because he is so strong, but I think the final should focus on the battle.”
Eung Si-Bae’s winning prize is the highest in a single competition, which is 400,000 dollars (about 440 million won). The runner-up prize is $100,000. It applies the Ngsi rule, which covers the game with points rather than home, and the bonus is 8 points (7 collections).
