China loses all 4 finals it participated in…

That's a big relief for the respective main players of the foreign teams. If they couldn't make it against the non-core CNT players...

Nah, it was mostly about the luck of the draw of facing Togami... he has beaten the players he is usually supposed to beat and for familiarity reasons, it is even harder against Togami. Those of us who are higher rated than our opponents who sometimes beat us with high risk styles know this...

You look at Togami's draw and you wonder who in that draw would really have been a favorite vs Harimoto? Harimoto could still have lost it for sure, but he has winning records against those players...

Harimoto uphill?

Yeah, I mean CYY has no chance against him. He just needed to get past Togami.

It seems like some of the Japanese players are having success with former player turned coaches. Miyu Nagasaki with Yuka Minagawa. Shunsuke Togami with Ueda Jin. And now Tomokazu Harimoto with Hibiki Tazoe

I wouldn't go as far as "no chance", the scoreline was convincing but Chen didn't look as sharp as he did in January, maybe the pressure of already having beaten Harimoto and being expected to do it again put more pressure on him. Harimoto played well and placed the ball better, but CYY made more than his fair share of mistakes.
