I was there today and I can tell you I don't need French and Puerto Rican fans constantly screaming in my ear. So I was quite fine with the lazy crowd. Maybe everyone is just tired like me from all the WTT events.

Dima on his loss: "Terrible performance from me, probably the worst of the year. There were so many tournaments, I need vacation and I'm just tired. I didn't manage to bring any energy to the table today."

A very quiet Dima loses against a pumped Liam. Rossi even told him to stay positive and move.

Last year Wednesday was a holiday for a lot of people here, but it was a Sunday this time so that doesn't help, but yeah, seems like there is less going on so far.

Half an hour seems about right since we are on best of 5 until semi-finals. I had over an hour break last year on Wednesday (and my quest for food failed horribly). Keychains? Guess I will have to buy merch this time 😬 was planning on too anways because I heard there was cheap Butterfly stuff...

There was a small tent last year in the "fan village" with tables, but can't take them seriously. Inside the venue there was the Spinsight small where you can measure spin, but that's about it for activities there. It's also really cold now.

No one has mentioned it yet, but the evening session is starting at 6.30PM this year compared to 6PM last year. Can't say I'm a fan because it just means people have to wait longer, almost 2,5h on Sunday after the first session. There is nothing close by to grab a meal at and you could argue...

I'm still positive. Looks like I will be missing tomorrow and worst case Saturday too...

Was rooting for Simon. He fought very hard. Unfortunate he couldn't win G3. Would certainly have changed the flow.

Never count out Quadri.

Thanks! I thought I had a cold, but I'm close to full recovery already anyway. My mom is worse, though. Will have to call the doc for her on Monday. Thank you! I wanted to get my influenza shot this week, but I didn't wanna do it when I'm already feeling sick. Thank god I stayed home all week...

My mom has COVID, testing myself now... EDIT: RIP, got it too. Should be negative by Saturday, but Wednesday will be a close matter.

Entry is open an hour before start. Unless you want to check out merch stalls or other stuff you don't need to be there that early, but I would say at least half an hour before it starts. There is only one toilet and it gets hectic toward match time.

Yeah, it's another dead event live viewers wise. Can't tell if there is anyone else cheering for Uda aside from the coach.

It was so loud I almost thought there is a crowd watching live.

Nah, it just bums me out that quite a few players that technically should be there aren't.

Last year FZD, Liang Jingkun and Chen Meng all lost on Wednesday and this year all three aren't playing at all.

Draws will be out tomorrow. Live on YouTube.

They will end up bringing retired players to the event.

So it might get cancelled again or they won't have the desired lineup.
