It was the time for the next round of the United Cup. On this day, four out of the thirty-two teams would have to say goodbye on the competition while another four teams would directly head to the top eight, qualifying for the quarterfinals as seeded teams.
As for the rest of the teams, they would wrestle their way to occupy the remaining four slots in an intense knockout stage.
This time, the Empyrean Talons were not chosen to be the featured matchup despite having a very competitive match due to their powerful opponent, the Hien Workshop.
Even if they were now favorites in the tournament, there were still others who were in a similar situation. Moreover, the opponents of those teams were also equally powerful.
The featured matchup of this round was the match between the Slayers Adventurer Team and the Purple Crows Adventurer Team, which could be considered as an old rivalry due to the veteran members of each team.
