Let's analyze the situation at the top before the last match day of the league stage. Top 8 players will advance directly to the round of 16 and will be seeded there.

As it happens, the top 8 players after 6 matches all have 15 points. Two players, @fredkese and @erikklok have 12. The former will get 3 points for free as W/O (@krakonos doesn't post his reports and has been disqualified).

Let's see the match day 7 pairs for the Top 8 players:
@new.things (DC) vs @actifit-godfish
@bucipuci (PG) vs @merthin (RL)
@danmaruschak vs @jjprac (Q9)
@manuvert vs @elizabethbit (Q10)
@cezary-io vs @ronnie10 (Q11)
@racibo vs @itz.inno (Q12)
@benbow2017 vs @silvertop (Q5)

@fredkese has a very good total score. Provided he doesn't rest on Saturday too much, if any of the Top 8 players, (excluding @bucipuci - extremely high total score), lose their Saturday match, @fredkese should end in the Top 8. Similar for @erikklok, although I think that the scores of @cezary-io and @manuvert are too high to be caught up with.
