An aging Ovtcharov and injured LYJ - by the brightest stage, I mean beating the CNT. I don't see him beating any of them in the major tournaments until after the 2028 Olympics at least. I was waiting for his match with FZD to finish today before replying to show you what I meant - utter 4-0 destruction. He couldn't even get a game to 9-11. The CNT completely figured him out.Lebrun just beat LYJ and Ovtcharov in a nail-biting 7 games. He's relatively stable for someone who's 17 years old.
As it stands, only Harimoto, LYJ, Truls - maybe (Franziska, Sora Matsushima) are real threats to CNT.
