In the final round of the third round of the 2024 Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance World Baduk Masters final held at Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance Global Campus in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do on the 22nd, Dinghao 9 dan won the overall title 2-1 with a hundred-and-a-half victory over Dangi Pei 9 dan in 248 moves.
Dinghao 9 dan also started to take the lead from the beginning in the three final countries. Since then, the situation seemed to be in line at one point in the middle, but Dang Yi Pei 9 dan failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and Dinghao 9 dan took advantage of this to organize the board neatly and take the victory.
Earlier on the 21st, Dinghao 9 dan won a black time victory over Dangi Pei 9 dan in 187 times in the second round of the third round of the final. Dinghao 9 dan, who was ahead in the early stages, faced a crisis at one point in the middle, but after taking the correct steps in a complex fight, Dangi Pei 9 dan's hemp was exterminated, paying back the previous day's upset loss and bringing the game back to square one. He then won the final round of the third round of the finals and won the come-from-behind victory.
Dinghao 9 dan said in the winning interview "I didn't expect much about the result at first. I came out with a light heart, but after beating Shin Jin-seo, I suddenly had a goal. Expectations for the championship have grown after beating the strongest team. "I'm glad that I won, but I was actually very worried that I might make a mistake at the end. It's very difficult to win two consecutive tournaments, but I think a miracle has happened, and I'm grateful to Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance for creating such a stage. I think Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance is a competition that is related to me" expressed his feelings.
Dinghao 9 dan, who beat Shin Jin-seo 9 dan, who was the most likely candidate in the quarterfinals of this tournament, defeated Jin Jin-cheong 8 dan and Dang Yi-pei in turn to win the cup.
Meanwhile, Dinghao 9 dan was recorded as the fifth driver in history to win two consecutive Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance titles with this victory. Earlier, Lee Chang-ho (9th dan) was the only one to win three consecutive tournaments, while Cho Hoon-hyun (9th dan) (6th to 7th), Lee Se-dol (12th to 13th), and Ke Jie (9th dan (20th to 21st) each won two consecutive championships.
