The Chinese Super League...

season starts tomorrow.  for those of you who can read chinese (use http://translate.google.com/# if you don't, like myself), go here for a list of teams and rosters:

yeah fukuhara is back....Han Yang is Kan Yo right? I think this is his first time playing in CTTSL

CCTV5 will be airing at 7:30GMT, don't know what team though.

Interestingly there's no top Chinese player on Mizutani's new team,  last year he was on Ma Lin's team and he didn't do too well and lost the final match against Li Ching.

Imo Mizutani already made great progression last season, he became much more consistent. Allthough still losing some matches, the last WTTC shows us he improved, especially mentally.

anyone have the results for Shanxi Guangdong? They cut off when Guo Yan Liu Shiwen started 

WLQ had a bad start. He lost to some unknown guy 1:3. But anyway, the rest of his team is crap since Xu Xin left, so they ain't going anywhere this year.

I think is not the first time he beats wang

Is there a home site from these clubs?

the season started wednesday and, so far, cctv5 has shown only one match.

last season they were showing 1-3 matches per week, so maybe we'll have that this season, but the problem is, just now, the WORLD CUP has started down in south africa, so that's all they're gonna show now.  and then, in a few weeks, you have WIMBLEDON, so i guess we won't be seeing many super league matches this month, unless they're being shown on "local" tv and somebody in china records it and kindly posts it here or on bokett where someone from here can get hold of it.

so, hopefully, somebody here is monitoring bokett to catch any super league video that comes up...

Which teams are playing?

when are the videos going to role?

For each game they only allow 1 non-Chinese to play, but more than 1 can be on the team's roster. For Chinese players, they have a weird rule that classifies all the players into a few levels. Each team is only allowed 1 first-level player, like WLQ, Ma Lin, Ma long etc. Interestingly, Hao Shuai is not a first level player because he's not satisfied one of the requirements: he's still NOT a world champ  This is why every year many teams try to pay lots of money to get him to play for them  Xu Xin has become a first level player this year and he can't be on the same team as WLQ so he had to leave.

On a bright note, WLQ got his touch back and beat Xu Hui and Lei Zhenghua 3:0
