Besides during the post epilogue shown in the recent Achiga episode - Saki, Nodoka and Yuuki seems to be in good terms with one another. So whatever Saki will do in the quarterlies would not sour any of her existing relationship with her teammates.

Regarding that scene btw, I think its a subtle confirmation that Kiyosumi passed the quarter final match considering the freshmen are all relaxed and happy. (Not that anyone is expecting them not to pass )

So all we need to know is...
1. What happened during that "Saki goes devil mode" part. (Yup too many monster class people on Side-B, whereas Side-A has devil class player..., and a "Futuristic Player".)
2. What does the epilogue of episode 25 mean?

Spoiler for Prediction of Saki's next chapter.:

I think Eisui's captain may do a Chuuren Poto against Saki.

I think for now we don't need to know that first.(Since it was spoiled in Achiga-hen that they will/may going to advance.) For now, we need to know what happen during the devil match.(Side A: Last round of the 2nd half of the semi-finals Vanguard round)

Whereas we need to wait 2 weeks to answer some questions:

Spoiler for Questions that may be answered in chapter 12.:

1. Whether Toki will survive or not?(I heavily doubt she will die, but I will also doubt she will NOT fall unconsciousness.)
2. Whether the match still continues with Teru still owning...
And finally...
3. What is on Kuro's mind thinking during that time? And whats the "something" that cause Toki to be surprised/shocked?

ETA: 3 Days to Toki's "Armed Intervention" in anime.
