The other day YouTube recommended this to me. I can't see the point of impact on any of the serves. In this tournament, was there an unwritten rule that the veterans were allowed to serve behind their backs, as long as their opponents weren't objecting?

Let's have a look at the international table tennis rules...
Okay, so we had the huge debate about whether Xu Xin's serve was illegal. Now we have a whole new discussion with Ma Long's service. Watch the video below, is the serve legal?
