but instead blabl is probably celebrating with 2 bottles of soju because Chang/Lee are going to Rio.

You don't seem to understand the Japanese loyalty to the company they work for, and the two pairs belong to different companies. Just one case, for whatever reasons, and people are able to generalize and read so much into it, if only life is that simple.I must say I am surprised and delighted by the behaviour of the Japanese pairs in WD. Some members here say it is because of honour, but I was foolishly thinking that their honour would be to fake the match, as it is said that in Japan one is ready to sacrifice oneself for the group. Well, I was wrong on that and Matsutomo/Takahashi really kept the spirit of the sport to the end. Not to be confused with their North East Asian neighbours.
Reminds me of this match:LD vs LCW match. Let yall in on a secret. I could overhear Hendrawan telling LCW in Indonesian to try to move LD around in the break on the 2nd set. He told LCW be patient . If he can catch up good but he cant its ok. And one can see LCW patiently moving LD around while LD was trying to make up for his 1st set folly. LD inject lots of pace and use quite a lot of power smashes to subdue LCW. However have yall noticed that LCW didint give LD many chances to strike? Begining 3rd Set LCW flew like a ferrari while LD was tying to catch a rest. He gave up after 11-1. i doubt LD would do that in Rio .Having played back to back tournaments LD knew no point to chase and LCW knew it also.
CL vs LCW. 2nd Set LCW tried to attack with power but CL was more patient. Smashing only when he was in good position. But LCW later change tactics and played patient game towards the end waiting for the 3rd Still Cl took it.
3rd Set was neck and neck. But you can see LCW hardly attacked.His smashes was half hearted used only to make CL return a type of shuttle where he can kill without using too much energy. The pace of the shuttle is quite fast and LCW was pacing himself in movement around the Ct rather than smashing. CL was being pushed around all the time.
If LCW can keep up like that, both LD and CL will have tough time. Only hope is LCW choking reflex setting in.
It s not that simple either. They can do the company pride thing in the Japanese league. It s about not jeopardising their own OG position.You don't seem to understand the Japanese loyalty to the company they work for, and the two pairs belong to different companies.

Reminds me of this match:
LD winning 1st set, rallying LCW around 2nd set, then exploded off like a Lamborghini in the 3rd set 11-1.
But I prefer LD to play like this instead:
Nothing complicated either. There's such a thing called internal rivalry, regardless of nationality. Nonetheless, my second point is the main concern, hope you don't make the same mistake. Btw, your phrase 'do a CHN' makes no sense, there's no such idiom though I understand your sneaky, ill-intentioned implication from the context and fully aware of where you're coming from.It s not that simple either.

If AT/MM were to do a CHN, you can be sure NBA will do a Momota on them and that will be sayonara to their OG dream.
"do a Momota on them"! hahah, nice expression!It s not that simple either. They can do the company pride thing in the Japanese league. It s about not jeopardising their own OG position.

Didint know Nepotism is affecting Indonesia's rise. As for sending players from a certain ethnic group , I personally thought that indonesia has a mix bag of players coming forth as weel as the establish ones., and are performing irrespective of Ethnicity.
no need to get personal and use ad hominem arguments. It is all reasoning until now, lets keep it that wayNothing complicated either.

I'm afraid you still don't get it. I repeat, you simply can't generalize, extrapolate and read a lot from just one case and compare entire nations based on it; that's much worse than ad hominem attack/criticism.As for your second point Justin, when one "case" is commendable, lets celebrate it. When it is not so admirable, lets criticise it. Indeed very simple.
You are afraid the match-fixing cases come up again, I can understand that. But here the Japanese pair deserve our praise, that's it. Don't be stingy with it!I'm afraid you still don't get it.

Huh? What has stinginess got to do with it ? I'm afraid you've lost me again and you still missed my point about over-generalization and over-thinking based on just one incident, and, to put it bluntly, your strange uncalled-for admonition " Not to be confused with their North East Asian neighbours" (which led to the subsequent riposte, including coining the 'do a CHN' phrase).You are afraid the match-fixing cases come up again, I can understand that. But here the Japanese pair deserve our praise, that's it. Don't be stingy with it!
