This is quite true the System for the past 2 years has some luck element in it. Last year's top 4 i believe really had the ability of the top 4 players in the competition. On the other hand, This year all the top 4 players except Alan Chu (3rd position) did not meet as many dashis. Think he met me in the semifinals and thats about it. Whereas the rest of the top 4 met quite a few highhands. So i would also not say this year is by luck because people like huangrongyue met quite afew dashi and jiaji, like myself, huangjunming, ningfuliang, alan chu and liu yuxing and lu ruizhan etc. In which he defeated all of them except the masters (drew) and luruizhan(lost). Ruizhan had an even more impressive record. Though he was red against all the masters but he beat all of us so full credit goes to him.
I would also prefer an 11 round competition to be fair however, i believe the organisors has its reasons for not doing so.
