The farcical selection system that put fairness above all else has done irreparable harm now. The psychological barrier built up by this gen in the past decade has been nullified by JTTA's own hand and the confidence is being eaten away.

R32 Hirano 2-3 Kim...
The fact that Ito has never beaten CM could be another big factor. And the part about CM being able to win "when it counts" shows she has not looked into CM's "troubled" past.
Moregard doesn't deny it. On the flip side, it shows Sora is still immature if he let it get to him. Disregarding that factor, he's lost a lot of 5-gamers, part of why I still have trouble viewing him as the future of JNT (1, 2, 3)...
He Zhuojia on 3-0 Harimoto.

Ahem, 臺灣傻事/台湾傻事 (Silly Things from Taiwan) is a mainland China-based self-media that mostly pokes fun at biased news by pan-Green media and is borderline propaganda. As such and without citation, this piece qualifies as fake news.

Miwa says she is "becoming more and more greedy from watching his brother and that things are going in a good direction" in a recent interview with TBC.

Ran into an interesting blog dedicated to Hayata.
早田ひなライブラリー (Hayata Hina Library)
https://kappa-project.co.jp/
More than just about Hayata, the blog owner 河童 (Kappa) has also shared abundant interpretations and opinions on the issues surrounding the domestic selection trials and WTT Series...
Probably like what Hayata said after beating Ito at 2023 Zennoh Cup Tokyo (2nd link of previous post), she wanted to become stronger and came to the conclusion that she had outgrown Ishida's coaching.
Ishida Daisuke and Hayata part ways. It's known Hayata had been rotating between coaches since 2023 (07/25/2023 at 3:57pm), but did it have anything to do with her wish? Will 金恵美 and/or 左俊斉 fill in, both of whom are from China?
