Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. SYB gets her first win against Hina. Congrats to SYB.

While you might never believe it matters from all the Tieba analysis, Shin is younger and getting older and more experienced and has gotten closer in recent matches. Someone had to win the battle of the Tieba overrated.

Haha, Got two wrongs in the first three matches. Who knows it would be the time that SYB beats Hayata.

LJK played like he could not wait to get out of the stadium ASAP.

LJK was clearly rusty, I thought he played well against a tough opponent. Maybe Sora will show us how tough the opponent is, that is in flux as well lol...

Let's see how many I get right for session 1.

What a match - every game was minimum 2 points, every game Feng won was 11-9 (including a comeback from 5-9 in the 5th), every game Wim won was at deuce. Wim will not sleep easy tonight lol...

IF someone told me that Zibing usually beats Kuai in practice, I would easily believe it lol.
