Winners and Losers
Winners
Now that the winners face seeded players in Round 2, they have been sorted in descending order of their aggregate score in Round 1.
Players who got W/O in their favor, have their real scores for the purpose of the seeding, rather than "30:0" used to decide the winner
The best from the above table (Q1) will face the lowest seeded player (S8), the second best (Q2) will meet the 7th seeded etc.
Losers
The losing sides also have been sorted by descending aggregate score.
The best from the above table (CL1) will face the weakest winner from Round 1 of Consolation Cup eliminations (CC8), the second best (CL2) will meet CC7 etc.

Round 2 of Eliminations
Champions League
seeded players are matched against player coming from Round 1. The highest seeded faces the winner of Round 1 with the lowest aggregate score in that round. Due to W/Os in Round 1 of CL eliminations, the players who advanced with W/O in their favor will be sorted by their actual step counts
P1: (S1) @ptaku vs @davidthompson57 (Q8)
P2: (S2) @ilodz24hd vs @pjansen (Q7)
P3: (S3) @flaxz vs @asia-pl (Q6)
P4: (S4) @cezary-io vs @racibo (Q5)
P5: (S5) @mariya36 vs @ykretz.sports (Q4)
P6: (S6) @venan vs @sk1920 (Q3)
P7: (S7) @practicaleric vs @matthew1 (Q2)
P8: (S8) @pagane vs @ziabutt3836 (Q1)
P9: (S9) @cryptospa vs @dirkzett (WC)
The last pair has been determined upfront, due to Wild Card
9 Winners + 1 Lucky Loser (decided by highest aggregate score over the 2 matches in Round 2) will advance to the group phase of the Champions League.
This season I and onward, I will use the aggregate score from Round 2 for group placement. This is a change - in Seasons 1-5 the group setup was predetermined by seed number. More on this later this week.
8 remaining players will be transferred to Consolation Cup and will be seeded there.

"bye" means automatic promotion to the next round as well as two ranking points
Consolation Cup
Winners from Round 1 of Consolation Cup qualifiers are matched against losers from Champions League Round 1. The best will face the worst from the latter group. Sorting is by aggreagate score from Round 1. Due to W/Os in Round 1 of CC eliminations, the players who advanced with W/O in their favor will be sorted by their actual step cuonts. The two players who "bye's", will top their group for the sake of seeding (which is fair, because the "bye's" resulted from good performance in the pre-qualifications).
P1: (CL1) @romualdd vs (CC8)
P2: (CL2) @martusamak vs (CC7)
P3: (CL3) @milabogomila vs (CC6)
P4: (CL4) @homesteadlt vs (CC5)
P5: (CL5) @zimnaherbata vs (CC4)
P6: (CL6) @davidesimoncini vs (CC3)
P7: (CL7) @sandraa1 vs @dontcare89 (CC2)
P8: (CL8) @kwsnomzys vs @axel-mccornstack (CC1)
The 8 winners will advance to Consolation Cup main phase. The losing sides will have to wait for Season 7 for their next chance.
