For the third consecutive year the two nations that had been demoted from the top level, were sent right back. In Group A Kazakhstan and Italy narrowly held off Hungary to achieve promotion, who lost for the first time in their history to South Korea. The Koreans also defeated Great Britain on the final day, relegating the British, and achieving a placement of 21st overall, their best ever finish.

In Group B, Ukraine returned to Group A, Estonia returned to Division II, and the other four nations repeated their placements from 2012. The final day was dramatic though, as it featured head-to-head match-ups to determine promotion and relegation. Both Poland and Ukraine were undefeated until they met in the final game of the tournament, Ukraine came out ahead four to three. The game between the two winless Baltic nations was not as dramatic, as Lithuania scored twelve to stay in Division I.
