Damn. Is WTT Doha like a private event for a few VIPs only? It's much less interesting when nobody cares about the event. No reactions from spectators whatsoever. :(
Damn. Is nobody gonna talk about how insane LJH played in the XD semifinal? The guy just went godmode after Game 1. I don't watch TT that often and I didn't know him before I watched that semi. I was so impressed.
Why are some people calling Sora arrogant? He was quite humble in the post-final interview.
Also, insane G4, insane tournament. WTT Frankfurt did manage to stand out with a unique vibe, even the crazy guys with whistles and bagpipes contributed to this.
Don't new users' threads have to be approved first? My first post and thread was - unsurprisingly - about equipment advice and I had to wait a bit until it was published. Seems like this point is already covered by the mods.
The rest of the points across both posts above sounds fine!
Damn, Hana is BLITZING around the table! I'm not following the TT scene as meticulously as most of you, but based on this game I definitely agree with what NextLevel wrote above. These are two equals playing.
Also, no bagpipes this time.
Edit: now (G4) the frustration/hesitation seem to be...

The rubbers have arrived, I'll let you know after the first training session :)
EDIT: The FX-Ps are noticeably losing catapult, I'll keep them on for a few more weeks
My guess is that people enjoy drama, and the current situation in female JNT does not seem that good. I'm not that diehard of a TT fan, I follow only a few players and almost never watch full matches, yet I still stop by the JNT threads from time to time. It's just an interesting topic...
To me it seems like the commentator is just trying to amplify the emotions that this match provides to us. He definitely did not sound like a Hari fangirl when DQ was dominating?
Joola Abs Magic for training and casual games - allows to impart spin pretty easily and is fun to play with. I convinced the procurement specialist at work to order those for our TT table in the recreation zone. I remember how frustrated everyone was at the beginning, people were literally...
