Togami and Harimoto again. These conniving draw manipulators are at work again.

It's weird because I've never argued about any machinations of any enemies. If you can find some of them, bring them up. My bone of contention has always been that the team is not judged fairly in many instances, And I've always argued that the team has improved over the years in terms of being...

Yawn.... There's only one guy here who's paranoid enough to think that they designate a player to face Harimoto in tournaments, or who's always looking for a lead in their decision making. And that's you. Sounds like you need help.

No country is perfect. At the level of their GDP, China too was racked with similar problems. Even today, China is not perfect. I think emphasising news that essentially confirms your bias is not the right way to go about this, here's a lot of good news in what Indian TT is doing. Politics...

That pesky CNT meddling! Dang!

Just the luck of the draw, Hayata faced SYS 16 times in 2023 or so... HYZ hasn't even had anything close to that. There's probably even more examples but that's the one that comes to mind. Hari Vs Togami is another.

She's right up there with the best Japanese players, so not much of a surprise tbh. She's just a late bloomer in the senior ranks.

But Huang is largely reduced to the role of a cheerleader and a practice partner in this team. All the heavy lifting is done by the big 3. That's no way to train a prospect. And it was the same way last year. I think this is just plain old business to win the CTTSL. One or two "wealthy" teams in...

You said XF and QTY were not permitted to partake in Vegas because of their performances in Doha. Your evidence - your affiliation. The counter argument was 1. The team has personally disavowed that rule in light of recent realities and relative competitiveness of their players, and this rule...

Onus is on those who claim that there's something going on to prove it though. I've not come out here to dispute what appears legitimate, or what is common sense or what passes the eye test. If what you're telling me now is to prove that "rumors" from a forum user is false, rumors that come...

Not surprised that you'd miss the crux of my argument against the clones. That's to be expected. Poor you. Funny thing is I have never said it's hard to get a connection with the CNT. I mean they do outreaches in the US and stuff. I don't believe that because someone's got a "connection" with...

I mean you've not got enough ground to stand on yourself. Can't blame me.

Yeah yeah, and I'm sure you've got a bridge in your hometown to sell to me. Sure thing bud.

LGL would never choose WCQ over FZD. I don't buy that. Your second point is obvious. Post 2017 or so (not too sure, probably '18)after coming to terms with the fact that the team is not as dominant anymore and there are a lot more challengers, the team announced that they'd stop the custom of...

Unfortunately, I'm not one to save his gaffes seeing as my device may not be up to the task, and I really couldn't care less. I only make mental notes of his talking points basically. As far as I remember, one of his argument then basically was that the team had match fixing scandals in the 70s...

Not on one, two or even three instances has he alleged that so and so player was barred from playing in a tournament because the team is some oppressive hellhole, and it turns out the Chinese delegation were put there by WTT as a placeholder because of their participation in a previous event...

They had this policy, and they stopped it. That is my point. Tony brings up match fixing in the 1970s to indirectly suggest once in a while that some matches are fixed. Or that they're playing according to some coaches' diktats. Do you believe that?

Wang Liqin, Wang Hao and Ma Lin would have been fooling themselves to have thought that XF or QTY would go far in the WTTC. That expectation has always been on the core players. They played in the WTTC only because they qualified, something that Tony himself wrongfully accused the team of not...

Very plausible, I remember her beating Idesawa 4-3 in the final, and the way she and Zhuojia struggled with the unconventional Japanese players at the event. Makes sense for her to be drafted to defend her title. I remember those days when Wang Yidi won the World University Games. A very...

Look at the yardstick you're using to judge selection choices bruh. Gaoyuan withdrew from a couple of tournaments due to illness and his father's demise. Surely you shouldn't forget that.
