I think most of these team focus much more on the win on the first match than what most amateurs can expect. Like the CH vs KR match yesterday, if WCQ lost the first match, it might be a totally different result at the end.
Donic and Tibhar have been doing something good for their growth recently. And Stiga got WRB. Butterfly might need some catching up soon if they do not invest more for promising young players.
Does anyone think that the format of this WTTTC boring and tedious? These stages A and B are like no taste appetize that kills any interest in eating the dinner.
Timing is so important but quite often ignored or not talked enough. Observing the ball bouncing on your side of the table is an important part of receiving.
Do you observe the bounce very well or you totally don’t pay attention? For fast service, do you observe it and time it well? One option...
Isn't Sora a little too chubby to play bo7? I think his shot quality got lower at the end. And I think if he learns to return slower spinning balls better, it is tougher for anyone to beat him atm, especially in a bo5 match.
This shirt change can really change the tempo of a match. If we do a statistical analysis, probably it will significantly change the result of the next game.
These "foreign" players are still scared of beating cnt players. Probably they have not thought about it as it has never came close. But they would probably start thinking about it when you were so close and missed the chance.
