guess again
this is without any doubt the worst format ever
because only 2 players per nation and to much weight on 2vs2 the reason why star favorites are out is because to much weight on 2vs2 and the reason why deep stack country germany is out because only 2 players per country and the 2vs2
this is not a nation cup , its a random 2player 2vs2 cup
the table tennis format with 4 players and less weight on 2vs2 would be the logical choice
not many viewers want to see so many 2vs2 and the players dont want to train that because its not played at other tournaments
The 2v2s are super fun. Finally something refreshing to watch. Yes, these nation wars dont really mean anything in terms of results and to determine which nation is the best, because the format does not support that, but its entertaining for the viewer and thats what counts the most anyway.
Yeah this should not be taken too seriously, I think this is meant as a fun format where everyone has a chance. And I agree it's very entertaining and refreshing to see some 2v2s
Just ignore all the germans complaining here and elsewhere We are just molding, because we are scewed by the format, becaus we have exactly 3 great Players and from face value should be clear 2nd behind KR and infront of anyone else
Still hurts tbh But as said, NW isn t about that, but they tried to find something, where as many nations as possible can participate and actually can have a fighting Chance as well
a german complaining about "all" the germans here and "elsewhere" well done, putting all germans on the line when you just beeing offended by my single post i was the only german writing about how the format sux for top heavy and for deep roster countrys you have some serious anti german hard left anti patriotism issues when you talk about your own people like that , also having only non german players as your favorites (reynor max pax clem in your profile) is rounding up your picture
this format not only sux for deep roster like korea ore germany , where the 3/4/5 player is better than the 3/4/5 player from other countrys but the format also sux for the top of the line 1 player countrys like italy denmark and so on
this is just a fun 2vs2 tournament nothing more nothing less
What is your Problem? I like our 3 german Players as well and I realy like seeing them doing good I m also salty Af about the bad performance by our team in NW and as stated hope they will change the format next year. I m not realy patriotic, because it s no point in beeing proud of something you had no control over to begin with (like the place you were born in) But I m not hard left or anti german. In fact, I ve represented our country as part of a national team at world and european championships. Also I m working in banking So probably not anti german and not hard left. Just because I Poke some fun at our misery don t judge me.
Does Maxpax's participation and the ro4 being offline mean he intends to show up if Denmark makes a deep run? That would be cool to see, and hopefully build confidence.

Nah, I heard that if that was to be the case, then they will let MaxPax play from his house. I am pretty sure the same would go for China as well, if Time and/or Cyan cant travel there.

What a surprise!They never played 2v2 together before and Time lives at Beijing,Cyan lives at Shanxi(Distance from Berlin to Warsaw ). They won really good games!
France has a relatively easy draw but we can’t afford to lose to China again, we gotta step up. Even team Peace could be difficult depending on the 1v1 of DnS
