Wow Ovtcharov didn't play, what a bummer... What is the excuse this time? A blister on his foot that may get dangerously infected? zZz Gz to England, Pitchford on fire.
Lost whatever respect I had for Dima. This is terrible !!
How does he protect the ranking by not playing? Please share.Germany made a clear and simple business decision. Protect the #1 ranking and they can use the excuse there team was not complete.
One last thing, because we got wayyy too offtopic here.
First of all thanks to monster and those that understood why i took offense.
Jawien, your point was understood in your first comment and it's alright if you see it that way, but Michal should know better. If it was the first time this happened i probably would have reacted differently, but unfortunately it's not.
See, making stupid jokes and comments about ethnicities of people might be tolerated in the little microcosmos he's in, but you can't come to an international forum make insulting jokes and expect people to remain silent and not take offense. To think like that is rather short sighted and naive IMO.
But again: THIS is NOT the place to discuss these political views and stuff like this.
Maybe we can create a new thread for this, and one of the mods can move all the derailing comments over there to keep this thread clean.
Me and probably some more people would like to enjoy this tournament without getting to know the insensitiveness and rudeness of some people.
Thanks for understanding!

The guy didn't want to give his all in a losing cause and expose tactics that will be valuable in more important matches.
I would say it is ALWAYS the place to call out stuff like that when it comes up! Especially in the world we live in now.
