Korea is winner.......

Poor Japan

This is the 4th time in a row that Japan takes the last place. And while one may say the Taiwanese fielded many of the countries top 10 players, while the Japanese rotate the team (no Iyama Yuta, no Murakawa Daisuke, no Uchida Shuhei e.g.) this doesn't really convince when 2008 and before they regularly won 8-0 against the Taiwanese team and had close matches with Korea.
