So maybe his mistake was selecting someone with level 1 OD.
We don't have better bigs than Hayakawa outside NT roster. I don't like his OD however all other bigs are worse. And therefore if I have to select pitiful and awful player I select awful. In Japan we have only one big on international level. All other bigs in Japan NT are on U21 level.
There are 6 Japan players in whole BB with salary over 100k. Except Furusawa other bigs have salary = 80-100k and TSP = ~80. They are without primaries and without secondaries. Other teams on this level have players with salary over 200k with secondaries.
I thought the worst thing was the CT.
Why the worst? Without CT we would lose anyway, only PD would be worse. Without fight. What is good in competitions without fight? So CT was the best choice to have some competition today, not only execution.
This match show how weak are our players. Canada isn't top team even in America (I think Canada is 5-8th the best team in America or something like that). In today's match game shape was the same, enthusiasm was the same, tactic was the same, so only factors were skills and effort. So we can see that our skills are too low to beat similar teams even by using CT vs TIE.
