Maybe revisit some of the old forum topics and watch zeio's subbed videos for a more nuanced opinion of CNT's (amorphous but somewhat principled) selection criteria. Of course nobody here can completely grasp the underpinning mechanics behind the selection but the CNT's Olympics assessment...

Maybe the one whose Singles hopes are still up in the air is CM rather than SYS? Anyways out of curiosity, what does "CNT has a good problem with depth compared to JTN" mean?

Look at this new ZYL, schooling DN with her FHs for three sets straight.

Scripted? :D

Day 2 Session 1 (Elimination) Fan Zhendong 4-0 Zhang Yudong Chen Xingtong 4-1 He Zhuojia Zhao Zihao 1-4 Zhou Qihao Sun Yingsha 4-1 Gu Yuting Lin Gaoyuan 4-0 Ma Te Ding Ning 4-0 Zhang Rui

Well, we will know in a few days' time. I heard that each NOC would need to confirm the extant XD qualifications (from WTGF) by 4 Jan? Then again, it's difficult to rebuff your suggestion given how things played out during M12 even though XX/SYS is still a relatively raw team (winning only one...

ML/DN 1-3 FZD/GYT FZD/GYT 1-3 XX/SYS XX/SYS 3-0 ML/DN Overall winner: XX/SYS

Ml/dn 4-0 lgy/wmy fzd/gyt 4-0 yzy/zyl xx/sys 4-2 ljk/cm

Omg, the National Champs were bulldozed. I hope MaDing takes down XX/SYS.

In case anyone is interested in some heavily photoshopped posters for M12. According to some unverified sources, the XD draw might be as follows (to be confirmed tomorrow): XX/SYS vs ML/DN FZD/GYT vs LGY/WMY LJK/CM vs YZY/ZYL OFFICIAL DRAW (1 Jan 2020) LGY/WMY vs ML/DN LJK/CM vs XX/SYS...

While it's true that nothing is definite when it comes to the CNT, your point about LSW losing the last two encounters against Ito also merits further discussion IMO. Context definitely matters there – you're comparing the LSW who was at the lowest point of her career (essentially abandoned with...

Draw for XD will only be done on 1st January, the date of the competition. Perhaps to leave less time for the pairs to prepare against their opponents? Some wild speculations on the Chinese web about XX/SYS as the possible replacement for China's Olympics XD entry since the deadline for...

You know that XD players must also come from the team right?

Oops, seems like LSW won't be playing in M12. She has sprained her leg so Qian Tianyi will replace her.

Major updates to Marvellous 12 1) Wang Chuqin continues to be suspended CNT is making good on their word of suspending WCQ, so he is not getting a place on M12 even though he played in the preliminary stage (lol?). Apparently, the coaches set the (nearly impossible) condition that he could...

But... that's the match which Hirano was playing more like her idol's present form. Previously, she was still mimicking the pre-2015 LSW who is only about being 速い.

After two days of intense matches, the three confirmed names for WTTTC2020 are Ito, Ishikawa and Hirano. Lol, aren't these the people we already know would be going? The winner of the National Championships would likely be Ito and Hirano is likely the third Olympics player so... what next? The...

Fuji TV. Hirano 1 - 1 Ito. Game 3 Ito leads 5-0. Wow at Hirano saving all those shots against Ito.

Not on TV Tokyo but at least they provide twitter updates. Tomokazu Harimoto 4-0 Jin Takuya Koki Niwa 4-2 Morizono Masataka

Pretty impressed by Hirano's performance thus far. Edit: Then she became her old self after Hayata's timeout in game 5 :confused: Wow, very calm and collected in game 6. Ishikawa-senpai better watch out. Someone wants to enact revenge.
