Well Europe Smash has already started. The transition will be interesting. While no one likes to lose, all things considered, many of the Europeans will take the timezone adjustment consolation prize for losing early.

The curse has been broken. Now both siblings have won the same tournament together.

The day belongs to the Harimotos. Congratulations!

at all-Japan i think Sora is ahead iirc

Yup. Sora 2 H2H 0 Harimoto, two wins in 2025 and 2026.

Hot take: Harimoto "sandbagged" USA GS 2026 on purpose, because to him WTT CS Yokohama 2026 > USA GS 2026.

It is the kind of take that dependent on motivated reasoning. Has Harimoto ever won a slam before? Sora could pretty much have won both. What will be more interesting is whether the countermeasures Harimoto has deployed vs lefties are sustainable.

In a recent interview, Sora also spoke about training with Harimoto more. I wonder who benefited more from that lol.

Finals Picks: Chen, Harimoto (now watch Miwa and Oh make me look like an idiot....)

Actually after game 2

From what I saw before, I kind of expected Harimoto to win this time. Hari boy is so keen to win, but sometimes needs motivation. Sora's win at US smash was a big stimulus to Harimoto. And after the win, he might just loosen up and go on a losing streak.

Like I said, I don't see your predictions lol. Letting people like you haha is the price of admission.
