Thomas Edgar had to watch Panthers destroying his team, especially in the first set when they barely managed to score 11 points. Kunihiro Shimizu was the best scorer in Panthers with 16 points, while the Australian giant had 19 on the other side,
Gosei took the win again thanks to Igor Omrcen who dominated in a game against Osaka Sakai. The Croatian opposite scored 25 points.
Yadrian Escobar was the best scorer of the fourth round with 26 points. Also, his team scored the victory so he has to be very pleased with such an outcome.
Kaziyski’s team is on the 2-2 score after suffering defeat against Gavin Schmitt’s team Toray Arrows. The Canadian was the most dominant player with 17 points.
