He'll need a lot of training though. I think he recently played and streamed a match against Yu Heyi and he lost 4-2. Granted Yu did beat LJK and pushed FZD to 5 games in the Chinese national games.

Yeah, Yu is no slouch. But to me, if FB could break into the Top50 this time that'd be a great success already. Even he was former WTTC runner-up, but after years without systematic training and playing real tournament matches, he needs a lot of training to do now.

He indeed does. But one that I notice is that like the past 1 or 2 years from watching his coaching videos where they have occasional matches between coaches and some other players, he's actually improving and getting his form back a bit

FB's exclusive interview with Pengpai. He said it's going to take him some time to get up to speed again and this will be a 2-to-3-year undertaking.

I predict he will be top 20

He said in the interview that he's aiming to play in all event tiers, which would require one to be top 30.

But also, he probably weren't training as much in those times. I hope we can see more into his trianing regime.
