FB trained a whole month with z03 and had no pressure doing so. FZD probably only tried a session or two with it.
Losing to the Lebruns did it. He won his first match with it, but the public nature of losing to the Lebruns is hard to overcome.
Was FB's draw a little lucky as well? If he met with HYZ or CYY, I think he might have lost. Anyway, pretty impressed for a veteran player.

Hope he will keep doing well in the coming tournaments and his QSB can produce better videos.
Chen Junsong beat Harimoto a few times and Chen Yuanyu, this wasn't a lucky draw. You have to beat the players in front of you and Fang was the only one that beat Kang and Ricardo (and everyone he played since this is an elimination tournament). His game either passed the eye test for you or it didn't.

Wow Hashimoto came alive during expedite. So many amazing attacks and blocking redirects. Would be great if she brought this style of play out more.
Actually, that is what she is known for. It just gets aurpressed when the opposition is better. She has to beat the players ahead of her.
