Korean team
Park Junghwan, Kang Dongyoon, Ahn Seongjoon, Byun Sangil and Kim Jiseok(Wild card)

Chinese team: ????????

Japanese team: ???????

1st round - 10/21 - 10/24 Beijing China

Japan team: Iyama, Kono, Ida, Murayama, Ichiriki.

China team: Shi Yue, Tuo Jiaxi, Mi Yuting, Wang Xi, Lian Xiao.

I assume the fourth should be Murakawa? I can't think of any Murayama that would represent Japan internationally. I'm glad to see Ichiriki there.

I was about to say something like "I can't look, Japan would lose all they're games and we won't now wether it's team Japan or team Europe playing" or something silly and negative like that, but when I actually aw the names of the players, it seems it could only be good that young players like Ida Atsushi 8p and Ichiriki Ryo 7p have the chance to finally play against top pros competitively. Who knows, they may eventually become top world class players themelves
Okay, I better stop or you-know-what will happen...

On the other hand, I make the confession have been scrutinizing The Great Mr Kin's news page hoping Byung Sangil 3p would get through (I mean, it's not that I don't like Kim Jiseok... but.. you know )

It's also interesting to see Lian Xiao, unless I'm mistaken he seems to be rising in the ranks these days. I wonder How he and Byung Sangil would compare to Kono Rin 9p, and also the two talented players Ida and Ichiriki .

My goodness, why do I like following te professional scene pretending o know what I'm talkin about XD I should be improving my own skills so that one day I may join these players .
