Even though this matter was not over, the team decided to move and thought about their next games. Since the troublemaker on both teams—Sheva and Laysa—had already spoken to the media about the team's target, now everyone had no choice but to follow that road. The first step they needed to take to achieve that was simple. They couldn't lose against a weaker opponent, as it would only hurt and hold them back in the later stages.
For the men's team, their opponent in the second round would be New Zealand. It was definitely better compared to Hong Kong, whom they faced on day one. At least three of the opponent players had an ELO rating of more than 2200, with the last one being around 2000. However, compared to the Indonesian team, it was clear that they were slightly lower in the rank.
