Finland tog en enkel seger med 4-1 i M-1 Global den 4 juli i Korea. Detta innebär att de går till 2-1 i antalet matcher och ligger 2:a sammanlagt efter USA East.
Det är osäkert om vinsten räcker för finnarna att ta sig vidare i turneringen. Group C leds alltså av USA East och då måste de förlora den 15 augusti i Amsterdam mot Benelux. Då har Finland en teoretisk chans att slå amerikanerna. Dock måste USA East förlora med minst 1-4 i den avgörande bataljen mot Benelux för att finnarna ska kunna kamma hem gruppsegern.
