@Xhive24 was offline at the beginning of Round 1, so he, together with @checkmates92, didn't get any points there. @kraunak60 beat @champion-19, @Arthur_The_Best won his game against @SatinSpirit2:
In the second round, @champion-19 surprisingly outplayed @SatinSpirit2, while @kraunak60 made a statement by beating his higher-rated opponent @Arthur_The_Best. @checkmates92 got a 1 point bye.
