A possible fake match between KIM Donghyun and CHO Eonrae?

[sjuesju]

Hi, have you watched this match between KIM Donghyun and CHO Eonrae in Bulgaria Open? Here is the video link - http://cdn.laola1.tv/ittf/iframe/pl...ria/150822_t2_KIM_Donghyun_KOR_CHO_Eonrae_KOR

Any explanations about their behaviour?

I dont think the match is fake, both are from same country/team, so theres no coach and to save energy they probably decided to play it fast with not so high tension. :s

edit: or maybe it's a fake match :s

If you could tell exact time.. I watched a bit and for me it seemed that they both knew who is stronger so there was no big fight. It was just a formality for them. Also they both are from the same country so not a surprise.

Cho is now Kim's coach against Kenta Matsudaira in the final match. Probably this is the reason.

Kim won the final. Any protest from Kenta or Japan Team?

I dont think they can protest cuz the koreans did nothing wrong, what they did was just disrespecting the tournament by not playing seriously.

Cho was coaching Kim through all the tournament so such ting was normal as I think. Although I really hoped there will be a proper match. I can only say that the crowd was OK with that(I watched it live not on screen).

It looked familiar to me like olympics 2012 final
