Two chances?

Looks like I have been drawn to play the 2nd round of the Epsilon Quickfire Rookie Duel twice. I have games with both rykoch and GibaW in this round. Is this an error, or did an odd number qualify from the 1st round and leave me the lucky one with two chances to advance to the 3rd round?

It happens pretty often that two players end up equal in the first round. Both of them will continue to the next round, so the number of players in the next round is variable. That's why your group counts three players, and only the first one will continue to the next round.

Ah yes of course! I took it for granted that we would be placed in pairs. Sorry. My bad. I'll get my coat.
