Respect is the last thing I want to read from the one who doesn't respect the comments of Mizutani, Harimoto and Hirano Sayaka.
No such disrepect from me in the link you provided. And that's rich coming from someone who, among other things, calls Hayata dumb, Mima Ito washed up, and referred to Odo as teammate killer. Your history on TTD is well known.

When you don't agree with zeio's interpretation of what someone said, it is a disrespect to the someone. Yeah, you heard that right!

It is really interesting how LYJ has delegated his choing duties to his coach. Dies that still make him silent?
Actually LYJ is a good ventriloquist. He is the one actually choing when everyone thinks it is the coach cheering. Thereby he can keep his nick name. 😅

LYJ looks to be in top form, he's probably the favorite to win it now. Glad to see him getting back in form.

XP is playing well, I think the switch from the acB to the W968 suits him well. He has great quickness and FH, should emphasize that. His BH is more based on spin and direction changes, had some beautiful blocks for winners in his game against JWJ, and the W968/H3 combo suits that well too. I think he'll get even better once he gets used to his new setup. I saw a lot of overshot balls in BH rallies, tends to be an issue in the beginning with the higher throw of the new setup.

A LGY-LYJ semifinal is a LGY victory for me (8-2 H2H in favour of LGY). If anyone but LGY is in semis with LYJ, I can't see them beating the Taiwanese man
You might be right but I don't think they've played recently so head to head might not give the best picture of who will win right now. LGY's form in recent months has taken a huge dip and I wouldn't even be 100% sure that he gets past LSS if he even beats Dima. Also, if Sora doesn't seemingly give up against LYJ like he did last time, it is a winnable match.

Its true that LGY hasnt been at his best, but we've seen what he can do with confidence and Im sure he's going to have plenty should he beat Dima. I really like Sora's game but LYJ is too hot to handle IMO. But it is BO7 QF so ynk

He's a 15 year veteran, his confidence isn't fluctuating in the middle of a tournament based on whether he beats Dima in a single match or not. On that topic though, having spoken to people who know him, he has accepted his reduced role on the CNT and is at peace with enjoying the twilight years of his career as a CNT main team player.

LJK asks to not forget singapore

Im glad he has, now there will hopefully be less pressure for him and he can be a mentor for HYZ, CYY, and the rest of the developing group (just no mental toughness lessons plz)

Dont forget when he beat dima at Singapore and made the final. And yes his confidence was high cuz of his comeback but still lmao
He also beat Clarence Chew, Walther, and Jang before beating WCQ and LSD at Singapore - do we know that those wins also gave him a confidence boost and are why he eventually won the gold?
