So Hayata's yesterday lost probably humbles us a little, the JNT critics and Hina protagonists. Well she won two tournaments before and her lost to Eunchong was very marginal 9:11 in 7th ... Korean player gave her some problems with the serves as @Zeio noticed, just like Kato did in Top12. So...

Seems there was an edge ... thanks.

What was it?

Eunchong is certainly a bh oriented player. Hayata could not keep up with the exchanges, specially 2 times down the line from the Korean player ...

I'm not going to write anything at the moment cause Carl, would ban me ... Congratulations to Eunchong.

Time out ... 8:9, still doable ...

3:3, 2:2 ... make it 2:4 ...

So the 7th ... where the heck was this strawberry in previous sets?

I would like to swear ... but I won't ... : ) This serve to the fh and than playing down the line to the bh combination is what's causing problems to Hayata ..

2:2, come on Hayata!

And now we go Hayata ... : )

Ha ha ... Ishi is quite consistent against the CNT so far ... ; )

Kids are pretty good these days. So what was the last time you picked up table tennis? : )

Now you got me interested ... ; ) Just kidding. Yeah, but it's probably not nice to laugh if somebody is crying after the loss (Oman against Hayata). She's just very ambitious.

Last time Zhang Jike did something like that, it cost him 40k of dollars ... ; )

Ahh ... second of all : ) I wouldn't try to position those two terms against each other. I never studied political science and I'm not even sure it they both should be considered as alternatives. Both democracy and meritocracy as an effective decision making processes, have their strengths and...

Bernadette must be very ambitious, but was run over by Hayta true ...

Ahh ... first of all, I think we are using words democracy and meritocracy a little bit incorrectly. I mean if anything a more "democratic" selection (well it wasn't really democratic senso stricto, so the word should not be used at all) was the one done by the CNT and meritocratic one, was more...
