Replica trophies for MD/WD/XD are proposed by CTTA. MD/WD events are going to get heated once again nearly 2 decades later.

You folks are getting ahead of yourself.
Both Uda and Matsushima have suffered 2 early exits against players that they should've won so far this year. Uda actually faced far more top-10 players (in bold below) and pretty much lost to them only. While being lower-ranked, WCT took out CSM, CDS...
