Let's be clear here, using stalling tactics is not a "Chinese" thing. I am now 95% sure you are PoppaChubby/OldUser with a new handle, but in any case if I am wrong, you do you. On an international forum though, it is not the place to air all your prejudices about a player's behavior reprrsenting China as opposed to discussing real issues. The Chinese are well represented at the top of this sport.

1) you seem to have trouble with understanding, lets break it down. not everyone delays. and for those that do, extent matters. or to put it in terms easier for ya to digest, some people do x thing small small. others do big big. no same, child.


2) your subjective opinion is that highlighting this isnt appropriate. mine isnt. yet instead of pointing it out in a civil manner so that we can discuss it (which is the point of a forum), you lash out like a petulant child that sees something he doesnt like. child no like comment, child rude. but child also wants the moral high ground. pretty nauseating, as child says.

if civility is too unfamiliar a concept, try saying "i dont think this is appropriate". repeat after me " i dont think this is appropriate". got it? good boy!

3) i dont even know who these Poppachybby/user people are, i literally found this place a week ago. from the sound of it you seem to have gotten into arguments with a bunch of other users. youve also kept a mental checklist of your favourite "NextLevel's BadPeople! TM" and delude yourself into believing everyone that disagrees with u is an alt of your favourite strawman, which is both hilarious and, im sorry to say, 95% pathetic.

Wait, what? Chen Junsong plays pip? This is my 1st time watching this guy but it looks like he plays inverted on both sides to me. What kind of pip he's playing?
Btw, the guy looks slender but he surely made some firepower shots.
Nittaku's Moristo SP 2.0. Only the best Japanest tech for Chinese players!

Same issue for the losing pairs (double righties) in both matches - 走位/positioning. One of them had to use the 反交叉步/reverse-crossover footwork to use the FH (crazy hard to pull off as the ball would drop too low by the point you're in position), resulting in the teammate blocking the view, which got exploited by Hayata/JCH whenever they fell behind or got tight.

WD SF
WXT/XY 2-3 Hayata/JCH (9, -9, -9, 5, -9)
WD QF
Hayata/JCH 3-2 Harimoto/Odo (2) (4, -7, -9, 3, 10)

Why the thumbs down though?
It appears he was pointing at the crowds on one end, maybe they heard some of them swearing for dragging WCQ down?

In the SVT interview, Europe Smash 2025 champion Moregard talked about his chronic knee problem (but noted that he hasn't felt the pain recently) after getting owned by WTT Feeder Cappadocia II 2025 champion Uda, stressing that even the doctors can't tell exactly what's wrong and how he doesn't want to have another operation on it.

In another SVT interview, Moregard noted the DHS table at China Smash 2025 had less spin than he expected.

I'm sure if they did that, the next thing some people whine about is CNT controlling fans' expression.
fan's expression and spectator etiquette is two different things
Some TPE players fans got searched and confiscated things before entering the hall, so don't try and paint that "policing" doesn't exist or it only applies to some (or maybe it does)
the spectator etiquette with some is just so bad, that even the Chinese players are not happy about it.

I still remember last year, fans was disrespectful when LGL was talking
and when he finished talking, and gave the mic to someone else, LGL actually had to put his finger by his mouth and shoosh the spectators like they are some kids.

I'm not sure if those "full grown" adults just weren't taught that during they upbringing or they simply have no shame being disrespectful

I am a big fan of the CNT. I love WCQ. I also love LSD. I love all the Chinese players. And I have also been critical of LSD before in his losses, but I never ever really hated him. It seems like this is what the diehard WCQ fans are doing and he’s finally had enough. Even WCQ himself has had enough.

I am not afraid of having some displeasure with my favourite players if they lose (I legit called WCQ a bum and the worst player I’ve ever seen after his WC loss against Hugo). But the level of which these WCQ fans are doing is not acceptable, especially for the mental health of LSD and the other CNT who suffer the same as Shidong. And people wonder why the CNT men are at its weakest point in a long while, the fans literally hate their second best player currently! I feel bad for him and I hope he can put his best performance still to make the final in China Smash.

Chen Meng / Sun Yingsha - similar case
