How the heck did Liang win that 0-1, 10-11 point?

Congrats - you get a pass on the choking argument because HK won. I feel for Liao, he lost another chance to shine. But it is all good.

There are no prelims for these division one teams, not every player gets to play a match unless you prioritize participation. Usually qualifying for the national team is always an honor but for some reason people cant resist denigrating innocent players these days.

They can do whatever they want or think is best as we all know that if Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha do their 80%, it won't matter. I suspect Wang Yidi will still play the final but who knows what Ma Lin is seeing.

With Faraji finally beating another top player, I guess it is best to still judge him by his losses to Tony's players in division 2 of the German League - the experts have spoken...

She knew tzifos was watching...

Hashimoto fans, rejoice - she is playing the Y spot in the XYZ line up. I unfortunately have to go to bed...

Again, have you spoken to coaches about the impact of subjective strategic choices on team selection? The players have worked hard all year to build a pecking order in a various ways. The coach's selection should reflect that order unless there are strong and obvious reasons to go away from...

These statements are borne of the frustration of not winning vs any hard data that different team formations would have given very different results. China has been pretty much unbeatable for decades sometimes almost regardless of whoever played for China. Same with Japan, often doing well...

Her channel is with a twin brother who also plays ‐ explains some of her consistency against power since she has videos training with him

Oh, I completely forgot about this as well lol. Cute channel...

My father taught me (and I also learned the hard way) not to offer unsolicited advice - if you do, accept that some people will tell you to shut up and mind your own business.

Wow, I am not a good enough player to sense equipment variance. It is probably what makes me a bad EJ lol...

He switched from Super ZLC Mizutani? Super beats Golden you know...

Edward Ly and MArcos MAdrid - finally a potentially a good match.

An even simpler explanation lol. Awkward... I find handshaking after the match an interesting thing... but I guess it is our way of trying to say "it is just competition, let bygones be bygones".

My apologies - I suspect something happened during the match, I watched some of it but not all of it. EDIT: As was explained - she had already shaken hands a minute earlier after the final result.

I have spoken to coaches about these things and since Sreeja is the player by ranking, there must have been a good reason not to field her. While amateurs like to talk about rolling the dice etc., professional coaches know that internal team management must be seen as a meritocracy of sorts to...

How do you know this? Sometimes these things happen off camera, or they have logical reasons, yet for some reasons people look at the camera to make an issue of things like this...

They are professionals, they were clearly patriotic, but they were also doing their job.
