All 3 Japanese title holders will be joining Chinese Jia

Post by xiaodai »

All 3 Japanese titleholders will be joining the Chinese Jia (a/top) league this year. That is Iyama Yuta, Ichiriki Ryo, and Shibano Toramaru will all be there. Last year only Shibano played in the Jia League but only got 1 win. Can the Japanese do better this time?

Shibano and Ichiriki appeared so far. Neither won their game.

Ichiriki is so highly rated on goratings.org that his loss is one of the top 10 upsets in the league so far.

Feels like the Japanese are way overrate on goratings.org.
