On the day of the group stage competition at the 31st SEA Games, the Vietnamese and Thailand team showed a different level compared to the rest. In the “Final Final” match in the third round, the two teams divided the dramatic point.
With the two of them get 10 points after the group stage, the first position is forced to be determined by 1 tie-break Bo1 match. Certainly the No. 1 position will be the priority that both the Vietnamese and Thailand teams target to be able to save maximum physical strength in the medal.
The team lost the tie-break will have to play the play-off 1 with the third group group stage to find the team in the play-off 2 to meet the leading team in the group stage. The team win-off 2 went straight to the final and the losing team would meet the defeat team in the play-off 1 in the play-off match. The team lost the play-off 3 to receive a bronze medal, the winning team to the final.
The journey of the Tie-Break winning team and winning the top thus will be less hard. In addition, the third place in the group stage will only be delineated by another tie-break match because Malaysia and the “phenomenon” of Laos have the same score.
The first tie-break match between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at the time 11:00 am on May 21. Meanwhile, the tie-break battle to dispose of 3rd place, Malaysia vs Laos rematch will take place before exactly 1 hour.
