I just saw that FZD lost to CCA in the group stage. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but this is FZD's first loss to a non-Chinese player in 3 YEARS (last loss was to Chen Feng and Li Hu at Asian Games 2014). Not sure, but this might be the 2nd longest such streak ever, after Ma Long's streak of 4.5 years which ended this year (World Cup 2012 group stage to Asian Championships 2017).
Crazy stuff.
CCA is Chinese.
CCA is Chinese.
I think the sameEveryone has a bad day. I think FZD had a bad day. Then again, LGY had a good day. So, perhaps that combination is part of what we saw.
LGY was tired also. they both had to endure chinese national games . They were both fit and well as far as I know cause I didnt catch up with the TT news lately so correct me if FZD was injured, LGY is definitely underrated and people probably like FZD more because of his previous results and expect him to be the next ML but I think this is not exactly the case with such strong competitors after him especially the "younger" generation coming up (LDS ZK LJK). LGY is definitely gonna "unexpectedly shock" us in the future what a versatile player
