All Chinese Final in World Oza
Japan was eliminated from World Oza (Toyota-Denso Cup) in the semifinals when Cho U 9p lost by resignation to Gu Li 9p of China.
In the other semifinal game, Piao Wenyao 5p defeated his countryman Xie He 7p.
So the final will be played between the two Chinese players.
Gu Li and Piao Wenyao will clash in a best-of-three match to be played on September 6th, 8th and 9th, also in Tokyo.

The Chinese have been on fire lately in international tournaments. I am really excited about the increased competition level between S. Korea and China and looking forward to many great matches in the future.

Biondy: I don’t know enough about the Chinese rating system to answer that.
But let’s not jump to conclusions too soon: I think Gu Li is the favorite based on his past performances anyways
