The loser from the winner's match is going to play the winner from the loser's match and the winner of this match gets yet another chance to advance to the next round, while the loser will drop out of the tournament, aswell.
The next round is going to be a standard single-elimination best of three tournament with a best of five final and a best of three match for the third place.
