2013 China Trials for WTTC & HDVideos/Translations

Thanks for a great share. May be ZJK is still hurt but XX is simply awesome here. That game saving point by XX at 7:10 in game 3 shows how tough XX is at the moment. Like to see the damage he did to Ma Long as well. Looking forward to the CTTSL final next week.

Yes, I also wonder what LGL was saying. Maybe something like "Xu Xin is a boss, no one can stop him anymore."

Quoting from atv's thread, 7 are already going(XX, Ma Lin, WLQ, Wang Hao, Ma Long, ZJK, Hao Shuai) Two spots left. So then why are these 7 still playing in the trials if they were already chosen? I am confused.

The top four (Xu Xin, Ma Long, Chen Qi and Zhang Jike) from this round will join those three lucky ones (Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Hao Shuai) voted in by the fans and two picks by coaches to play in the final round. The final nine players will be divided into three groups: the top three seeds lead each group, then the No. 6 seed chooses a group, followed by No. 5 seed, and No. 4. The yougest of the last three seeds chooses a group first, and the other two follow the order in age.

In the final stage, those three who win the groups will play singels in WTTC; the six losers will be divided into two groups and the group winners will play singles in WTTC as well.

Now, the definition of winning a group with three players is like "race to death":
He who beats the other two wins the group. if nobody wins the group this way, all the players in the group will play one 11-point game against each other and again, he who beats the other two wins the group; otherwise, all the players will play a 5-point game against each other to see if there is a winner. After that, the tiebreaker will be a game starting with 10-10 and a two-point adavantage wins the game, and again, he who beats the other two in this way wins the group; this "10-10" game will be repeated until there is a clear winner of the group.

After the "race to death", the coaches will pick two more players to join those five winners to play singles in WTTC.

Chen Qi still the newbie killer as always :( I really hoped Yan An, Fan Zhendong or Zhou Yu would make it to the top 4....

Awesome table of results, isn't? would be amazing to see more of these matches... or all of them but I doubt we ever will. I imagine the level of pressure and excitement among the players there must have been sky-high...
