You can post all you want, but this really encapsulates your attitude.

You can't beat the world if you can't beat your teammates, Nagasaki!
BTW, anyone know what Kaho did to get a spot here that Kihara, Odo, Yokoi etc. did not?
Shinozuka couldn't call WCQ or Matsushima to get the intel on Harimoto... I think Harimoto got the best possible draw given his loss... maybe even better than the one he would have had had he won vs WCT...
Lam and Xiang was the other one where I felt an upset was possible. Lam has played really well. But since CJS ultimately beat him, I felt the CNT coaches would figure him out. But he looks like he has levelled up significantly.
Shin has a really strong strategy vs Honoka... but somehow Honoka managed to take game 2 and the lead... but this will come down to execution because Honoka doesn't look good when Shin is pounding Honoka's forehand and moving her out of position to set up misdirections.
