Feel free to convince the CNT and those around. They don't see Hayata as a threat. They're projecting 3 years from now. Hayata keeping Miwa at bay is what they are glad to see. So you're actually supporting them by cheering on Hayata.

Odo (8) 2-3 SYB (10) (14, 9, -10, -9, -5)

If I were the JTTA big shots, I would have been sweating bullets for the past few days. Not the big picture I want to see, notwithstanding all the issues around US Smash.

Hirano out of WS and Harimoto WS/XD. Ito/Hayata failing to beat an adhoc CNT pair in WD. Odo coming up short left and right in WS. How should I treat these symptoms?

Honoka Hashimoto unites the forum - with all the divisive arguments over players on the JNT, even Tieba users admit Honoka is good for TT (though I suspect some might make it about Wang Yidi...)

Maybe one of the worst days in the history of the women's CNT, with SYS, WMY, and WYD (3 of the top 4 seeds) all losing today. With some other minor upsets, the draw is wide open now. There will be a Japanese semifinalist and one of the finalists will be non-CNT (though Zhu would be close to it, as a former member).

It is really crazy, how did she lose to someone only good for doubles? Up 2-0 too...

according to zeio and chinese tt amateurs (fans), "loosing", you will define them as "weak"

imagine the day zeio enters the JTTA board meeting and reads out tieba users comments and links what "he said", or "he quote" on Mytt/TTD.

zeio actually is a hard worker, he will print out everything and have circles/highlights in different colors too.

but i'm worried for zeio, because the same tieba users will label zeio a traitor for joining enemy camp.
so better just let zeio stay a commentator at ttd forum.

Hashimoto (15) 3-0 WYD (4) (9, 5, 9)

Hashimoto: Allow me.

Hayata's WTTC 2023 bronze and Asian Games 2022 silver: Forgettable.
KKM's ATTC 2024 gold: Forgettable.
Ito's WTTC 2025 bronze and World Cup 2025 bronze: Forgettable.

Funny comment likely from Hong Kong.

Unfortunately Hashimoto doesn't even break even for her expired Star Contender Bangkok points with a quarterfinal finish. She needs to chop down Ito for a real ranking breakthrough.
IF she can beat Ito, she might win the whole thing. A chopper's ultimate dream to win a smash event.

By the same token, Odo is only good for doubles. Don't you think? This doesn't bode well for Odo compared to Hirano because she has to convince the Japanese public that she can take on the burden if she were to replace Hirano.

So far the only real result (against non-teammates) she has is the WTTC XD silver, which many Tieba users have expressed is thanks to Yoshimura. She has nothing to show for WS/WD/WT.
