It is good form to put them on the podium even if the dumb policy is maintained.

Just a month or two ago, people were saying Moregardh had no future as a CNT challenger and his game was capped. Now we get the narrative that he was an unfortunate opponent for WCQ who had never lost a single game to him before the Olympics. Hindsight is 20-20 for sure.

It is possible that the treatment of reserve players has changed over time.

I get the feeling. But I keep reminding people that Lily, Batra and Akula are not chopped liver either, we have seen Lily play top players and they don't beat her as badly as Kaufmann did, same with Akula and Batra. We don't have a good sample size on Kaufmann but when I watched all her...

You mean the other countries when you speak of competition...

Their best bet is still 1%. Not worth it lol.

As it was written, so it shall be done lol.

I disagree that Miwa is easily the weakest. Matchups always matter and she is a pretty smart player, but her problem is lack of experience to place struggles in context. Given how seemingly useless the coach for Japan is, they should probably have made her father the women's team coach so that...

The gap has always been bigger in women's, while the recent Busan performance was interesting, doubles as a component of Teams and its forcing the best singles players to play each other has favored China even more than 5 singles matches or the old flexible doubles as third match format.

Blame the competition and the teams structure, China definitely fielded him in every match.

It can't be an accident that China is winning all.these game 5s...

Karlsson has beaten WCQ once and has also led 2-0 before a comeback. So he can play him for sure.

Karlsson.

He started the fifth game too badly to cause any tension.

For the first time, I think Truls can win this but he needs to make Fan choke.

The good thing about Persson is that he comes from an era when beating China and Asia was a normal thing so he always keeps his players positive and believing.

Wang Chuqin is the more secure bet at match 3, no? We can't blame China for other teams not winning matches.

Show me where to bet and I will bet. I don't gamble regularly but the one bet I did want to make (China would win all the medals it could win), I would have lost because of Truls in singles but I usually have bets with willing friends on these things. If you want to bet against China, we can...

Haha... nah... I love TT too much not to watch but I respect China too much to even believe they lost a silver medal in MS. France I think would have beaten Sweden. And France got murdered by China.

I will bet against that reliably.
