Harimoto currently getting destroyed by Vlads conqueror Muramatsu. No cho-ing from Harimoto and some poor play but he must be fatigued from the Junior Worlds.

 

[DattJesicht]

No cho-ing from Harimoto.

Well I guess he has no real reason to "cho" anyways. He got beat up pretty badly.

 

[Jonathan_]

Not a bad guess, but still goes wrong. :v

6/8 so far

Hopefully Jeoung Youngsik can actually make it to the semis!

 

[edgy]

Well that last game was a whoopin' by JYS

 

[laistrogian]

What happened to CCY on the 6th game??? It just looks straight out to me he doesn't even want to play the game anymore

 

[Jonathan_]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Jeoung Youngsik must be an absolute delight for Ryu Seung Min to coach. He has the same positive body language and fighting spirit throughout the entire match regardless of the score, he's mentally strong and is a fantastic match-player!

That backhand is also ridiculously consistent. Interesting point by the commentator wondering if JYS can make it a BH to BH battle against Ma Long (if they meet), like he did against CCY. Would love to see JYS in the final!

 

[ronz91]

Both players have my respect for the way they ended that 6th set. JYS showing respect to an icon and CCY acknowledging that and paying it back.

That being said, I don't know why CCY decided to fight BH to BH for the first 6 points in set 6. Although JYS FH seemed closer to CCY FH than CCY BH was to JYS BH, fighting FH to FH would have given CCY a much better chance.

 

[ronz91]

these new commentators are not too my taste, pandering to Ma Long way to much, mot giving WCT his due or enlightening the viewer as to what WCT could try or where he's falling short.

That being said, I don't know why CCY decided to fight BH to BH for the first 6 points in set 6.

In the hindsight, that is true. But he lost the previous two games using that tactics. Probably he decided to throw in something different to surprise the opponent. But it did not work out.

 

[edgy]

Wow. Ma Long looked like he came in extremely motivated

I am not sure I saw a tactic in set 6 from CCY. Atleast attacking JYS FH was keeping him competitive.

great performance from ML.


WCT was trying to hit too hard and going for the killshot too eagerly in first 2 sets. Set 3 he started playing within himself abit more and got alot more balls on then ML stayed in close and closed out toward the end. Set 4 WCT was playing to ML too much, trying to hit past him and lost all those spectacular rallies. I wanted him to mix his pace and placement up abit more.

 

[Garrison]

Wow sweet so far both of my predictions for quarters on point

Did you believe in miracles?

Xu Xin 4-0 vs Yuto Muramatsu

Little copy paste error

Little copy paste error

To be honest, any other result would be a miracle. So it is not an error.

Yes but I need a 4-2 for my prediction
