Exactly, for the sake of nuance, dynamism, and security. There is no totally fair system. There'll always be winners and losers. Players just gotta adapt on the fly and do their best.

Deemed unnecessary in this event because the two bosses at the bottom seats silently watching the matches want this tournament to be a test for FZD, ML and LJK. Even WCQ was asked to chill at home and he was replaced by Edward Ly of all people. Lol

Ah yes, his training partner that was supposed to beneath him in traditional Chinese hierarchy stepping over him during pushups. Frankly much of this sounds like some republican think tank composition with some good dose of Mccarthyrist sensationalism, or not to go too far - the daily news headline.

It's not by mouth tho. But it'll be exciting to see.

Nobody is talking about how Felix made Dima average 6 points a game, that's crazy. Even Ma Long can't choke Dima like that.

Eh, exactly. As for reaching the SF , she just needs WYD in her draw.

Apart from Boll that won a world cup in his teens against the Chinese, and maybe Hirano with the Asian Champs ( an argument can be made if the tournament was truly big enough, or just the shock value of defeating 3 players in a row that roused concerns in China). No other teenager has done any...

Well defeating the team to beat is the lifelong goal of the JNT and of the JNT players, so that's the impact I'm talking about. And not just defeating them at minor events, but at the biggest tournaments.

She'll have no impact in 2025. 2028 may even be too early.

To beat the Chinese from time to time, one has to be as good as/better than them at particular skill subsets that one uses liberally but creatively( more than the Chinese) to their advantage. Hari has his dynamic backhand and off the bounce speedy play. LYJ has the backhand flick, timing, tricky...

Give him time. Maybe he'll come up with something very solid in his 20s. Lefties are always tricky especially if they're fast, aggressive and powerful. He has these qualities.

What's the difference between the prize money for a R64 appearance in Singapore Smash 2021 Vs a R64 appearance in Singapore Smash 2024??

Imo, LYJ looked close to his top level at Singapore. At worst, 80% of what he can bring forth on his best day was on display. His overdependence on his BH was his undoing because he met a match in LJK.

The tussle between Korea's pragmatics and ideologues is always interesting to watch. Sprinkle in a big assertive neighbor that they're near paranoid about, and you've got a whole lotta mess.

Removing Wang Chuqin and putting Edward Ly is a manipulation that the threats will fancy. Big chance to win this tournament with a red-hot WCQ out of the way.

Why is the winner's prize reducing?? More money for the also-rans to cease complaining about WTT event's being too costly?

Not if Harimoto's got something to say about it.

https://euro.dayfr.com/sports/1924956.html Seems the FFTT has finally reached an agreement to host a major WTT event for 3 years, and where else to host the inaugural tourney but Montpellier - the hometown of the biggest sensations in Europe right now. Montpellier also wants to host the 2027...
