20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026, 9/19-10/4

[kindof99]

Funny thing is that WMY most of the official games, like national games and asian game. SYS won more wtt and ittf games. So far SYS probably only got a 2022 Asian game gold (?), no national and no Olympics golds yet.

Kishikawa is more a sounding board, but I can't remember they had anyone particularly resourceful? Does Yosuke Kurashima count?

Kurashima is the better of the last four in terms of trying.

For the JTTA XT, Hiroto is the true gem who energizes the whole squad, whereas Togami is just a royal deadweight who ruins the team, drags down every teammate, and distorts the lineup.

after this Asian games, there's practically no spot left for Togami in LA except the P-card. That MD SF performance is just miserable, putting Matsushima in a 1v3 lmao
