Korea: Park Junghwan, Park Yeonghun
Japan: Iyama Yuta, Shibano Toramaru
The games will be played on 8/14 and 8/15.

Tuo is pretty lucky as he was behind most of the game vs Park but in the small endgame Park made a mistake (not connecting the 2 stones in the centre) and the lead swapped.

Yeah, Tuo was way behind in the first game too (believe the win rate for Park Yeonghun was at 90%+ at one point).
