Sorry who are the other 2
The retired team is Harimoto-Hayata. But it's basically the usual suspects, the Japanese, Koreans, North Koreans and fellow Chinrse with nods to Hong Kong, Taiwanand Sweden. But if Sun and Wang are on, your playing level is irrelebant.

The times I encounter this sort of behavior I just chalk it up to that person having a pitiful life with no personal success. Having pride in the success of an athlete just because they share the same nationality or ethnicity as you is already a little bit silly. But letting that turn into toxicity and a sense of superiority is flat out pathetic.

It is probably accurate to assume that internet commenters who exhibit this behavior are people you would feel sorry for if you knew them personally. That helps a bit in not being too aggravated by these sorts of people.
you are spot on
I some times wonder, when CNT loose they global position
what life left does these teiba users have....

CNT is going to swipe all available medals in LA 2028.

Lol at Mizutani boasted his win over young and green WCQ and SYS.

He is just being honest, their win over the German team required LGY level comebacks/choking.

SYB/Ryu Hanna (7) 2-3 Polcanova/Szocs (10) (-5, 8, -8, 9, -9)
Not bad for a debut performance for RHN.

I don't know what Zeio made you think of Tieba users,but from my perspective Tieba users are more interested in criticizing WCQ 's illegal serves and his crazy fans.They support everyone who can possibly beat WCW.It's true that they often show disrespectful attitude toward players,but I don't think it's because of their excessive support for China,but because of their attitude of being extremely eager for someone who can dominate table tennis.When someone is doing bad in big events,they'll easily start to belittle them and find another one to tout.

I think the main advantage Liang has is that he has the innate strength to handle Hugo's backspin with hard to read short strokes. Both players have to prepare early and telegraph to Hugo which gives him a lot of time to prepare and kill the ball.

She can't blame it on that at this point.

Other than ATTC 2023 and Asian Cup 2025, WYD has lost to non-teammates in every international and continental major from WTTC 2023 (Of note here is that R32 WYD 2-3 Hirano at Singapore Smash 2023 started the momentum). That's way worse than LGY.

WTTC 2023
QF WYD 3-4 Hayata

Asian Games 2022
SF WYD 3-4 Hayata

WTTC 2024
WT F WYD 0-3 Hirano

World Cup 2024
R16 WYD 1-4 Harimoto

ATTC 2024
WT F WYD 2-3 Harimoto
WS R16 WYD 0-3 KKY

World Cup 2025
Grp3 WYD 1-3 YJN

WTTC 2025
QF WYD 1-4 Ito
Is she the LGY in women?
