卷心菜was kind enough to state that he would not take part. If this is the case, it would be unfair to Hu Wei Liang at the expense of Liao Ming Hao. Though Hu Wei Liang and I don't know each other well, I do not have any good reason to speak up for him. I'm just stating a fact. The top of the table might not necessary be the best for the 7 rounds so Ming hao does not have the right to get a direct promotion given that he has already been promoted to a B division player. One example, was in 2007 (7+2) system when Zheng Xiang Fu lead throughout in the first 7 rounds of the competition. After 9 rounds he attained 4th place.
I think it is only fair to let Hu Wei Liang to have the walkover, not mainly because he deserved it but because he was 卷心菜 opponent. It's wrong to let anyone benefit from other people's expense.
