In the 2023 KDL regular season individual tournament Round of 16 finals held on the 25th at the Vita500 Colosseum in Jamsil, 'RunNing' Hong Seong-min secured first place in the finals with 3 consecutive 1st place finishes and surpassing 50 points.
The first track started at World Xi'an Terracotta Warriors. In the first round, Kwangdong Freecs' 'SeongBin' Bae Seong-bin took 1st place, 'Ppung' Kim Joo-young took 2nd place, and 'RunNing' Hong Seong-min started off well in 3rd place. In the next round, 'JiMin' Kim Ji-min took 1st place, and 'HoJun' rose to 2nd place.
'JiMin' calmly succeeded in his own course without deviation until the 3rd round, taking 1st place for two consecutive rounds. If he takes 1st place in the next round as well, the game will end as is. However, 'JiMin' fell to the bottom ranks due to a small accident, and in the meantime, 'HyunSoo' Park Hyun-soo crossed the finish line in 1st place.
Then 'ByungSoo' Go Byung-soo took 1st place, making the mid-tier point battle even fiercer. 'RunNing' also took 1st place, joining the top-tier competition with 'HoJun' and 'JiMin' with 33 points. As of the 8th round, there was no absolute powerhouse, with 'HoJun' running in 1st place with 34 points. In the next round, 'RunNing' and 'HoJun' came in 1st and 2nd place, and the outline slowly began to appear.
In the final round, 'RunNing' Hong Seong-min took 1st place, ending the game, and 'HoJun' took 2nd place with 45 points, while 'SeongBin' and 'JiMin' succeeded in boarding the last train to the finals with 34 and 33 points respectively.
