The four teams that advanced to the finals?▲Jjajang Jjamppong, ▲Gae Jin Young Dong Hoon, ▲Secret Society, and ▲Romantic Team?competed fiercely in a best-of-11 format, playing 5 rounds each in the first and second halves. The final match between Romantic Team and Gae Jin Young Dong Hoon went all the way to match point.
