It’s actually interesting to see whether there are still a lot of audience without sys and wcq in the tournament.
CNT fans always follow their players around regardless of who is playing. It may not be as much but it will be fine.
Nah, they don't understand their "culture", Tieba shows this is completely normal fan behavior and the CTTA is confused.Statement of the Chinese Table Tennis Association on Resisting Extreme Fan Behavior
Recently, the Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA) has noticed that some extreme fans have continuously engaged in verbal abuse, rumor-mongering, and personal attacks against national team coaches and athletes. This behavior has spread from competition venues to the internet, and further from online platforms back to live venues.
Some athletes have experienced interference during matches due to these behaviors; some coaches have faced middle-finger gestures and verbal abuse from individual extreme fans on the sidelines; and several coaches and athletes have repeatedly received abusive text messages, harassing phone calls, and private messages on social media, which severely disrupt their normal training, matches, and daily lives. The association has assisted relevant athletes and coaches in reporting these matters to public security authorities to pursue legal accountability for those responsible.
The CTTA always prioritizes the physical and mental health as well as the long-term development of coaches and athletes, firmly safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. Next, the association will promote the establishment of a venue ban list system and strengthen order maintenance at match venues. False information regarding team management, tournament arrangements, athlete selection, and coaching staff line-ups will be handled in accordance with laws and regulations in cooperation with relevant departments.
Every honor achieved by the Chinese Table Tennis Team is a result of the dedication and hard work of generations of athletes and coaches, and cannot be separated from the long-standing care and support of table tennis fans. Every cheer and every bit of attention inside and outside the venue form an integral part of table tennis culture. We are willing to work together with fans, media friends, event organizers, and all sectors of society to build a rational, civilized, and inclusive table tennis culture—where passion has warmth, expression has limits, and venues maintain order.

Now I seriously doubt that @NextLevel is a secret tieba user, or even a moderator there too.
for a Tomo match, they will prob upgrade their seats
Harimoto: if the flash can’t kill you, it will make you stronger.
Great minds think alike...
Using flash should warrant immediate expulsion from the venue. Also, a clear and resolute "no flash allowed" warning should be repeated at the beginning of every match.
I didn’t know about the flash issue but I think they should do something about the spectators childishly resisting to applaud great play and ultimate victory against Chinese players.
I hear TT is big in Malaysia and Indonesia too.
They had a sign no flash allowed at the last event but I’m not sure if there was a sign this time
11:00 T1 WS R16 SHIN Yubin(KOR) - Hina HAYATA(JPN)
Picks are all a bit obvious lol. I will agree with almost all of them except I will take Feng over Wim - I like Wim a lot and he has been hot, but the last two events including this one (Asian Games and here), Feng has been lights out.
Haha, Got two wrongs in the first three matches. Who knows it would be the time that SYB beats Hayata.
