Thanks. Winners only will advance. It isn`t possible to say how many players will it be for 2 or even all 3 players may "win" their group if they have the same score and tie break. But if there is 1 winner only in both groups those two will play the final group.

Just to explain it. The number of players that will advance has to be less than 1/2 of the group size. Your first two rounds were 8->3, the third one was 5->2, the 4th one is 3->1. 

EDIT

To make it clear. Let us have a look at the first group.

If

ValleyBoy - score 4 

haonhien - score 2 

SaintNick - score 0 

ValleyBoy will advance

If

ValleyBoy - score 3 

haonhien - score 3

SaintNick - score 0 

ValleyBoy and haonhien will advance.
