The contestants are divided into two groups of two based on their rankings in the online preliminaries. Each contestant chooses a song from the song pool below, and each group plays the two songs, competing with the total TECHNICAL SCORE.

• If two players got the same total TECHNICAL SCORE, the player with a higher number of CRITICAL BREAKs win.
• If the number of CRITICAL BREAKs is also the same, the player with a higher number of BREAKs win.
• If the number of BREAKs is also the same, the player with a higher number of HITs win.
