From the perspective of time arrangement, the International Taiwan Federation can be described as painstaking, and the Chinese players basically play in early time, on the one hand, to improve the ratings, and on the other hand, because of the recent excellent performance of the Chinese army. The Chinese Legion has reached at least the top 4 in four consecutive ranking tournaments, including Zhang Anda International Championship champion, Ding Junhui British Championship runner-up, Cao Yupeng single-game limited-time tournament runner-up, and Zhou Yuelong Scottish Open top 4. We look forward to the excellent results of the Chinese team in the German Masters.
