| SAWMC starts! |
In the go section, 6 countries (actually 4 countries and 2 continents) will play in two categories, mixed team and mixed pair. The mixed team consists of 4 male players and 1 female while the mixed pair is the usual mixed rengo with 1 male and 1 female play for each team.
The participants are:
China
Mixed team: Gu Li, Kong Jie, Piao Wenyao, Xie He, Li He, Liu Simin (captain)
Mixed pair: Piao Wenyao-Li He
Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)
Mixed team: Chen Shiyuan, Zhou Junxun, Xiao Zhenghao, Wang Yuanjun, Hei Jiajia, Ying Minghaw (captain)
Mixed pair: Zhou Junxun-Hei Jiajia
Europe
Mixed team: Cornel Burzo, Christian Pop, Jan Simara, Catalin Taranu, Vanessa Wong, Martin Stiassny (captain)
Mixed pair: Catalin Taranu-Vanessa Wong
Japan
Mixed team: Yamashita Keigo, Yamashiro Hiroshi, Ogata Masaki, Sakai Hideyuki, Mukai Chiaki, Ko Reibun (captain)
Mixed pair: Yamashita Keigo- Mukai Chiaki
Korea
Mixed team: Lee Sedol, Park Junghwan, Lee Younggu, Choi Cheolhan, Kim Hyeoyimin, Cho Kyubyeong (captain)
Mixed pair: Choi Cheolhan- Kim Hyeoyimin
United States of America
Mixed team: Jang Mingjiu, Liu Zhiyuan, Lie Ji, Huang Ke, Feng Yun, Andrew Okun (captain)
Mixed pair: Li Jie- Feng Yun
I don't know why, but it seems that Japan doesn't go all out this time. Yamashita Keigo and Mukai Chiaki are solid choice, but the other 3 doesn't really sound for me in international event. China and Korea play their best players (though I prefer Park Jieun or Cho Hyeyeon over Kim Hyeoyimin), while Taiwan sets the youngest age average (22 y.o average). Japan and USA are the oldest team (both with 39 y.o average).
The event looks interesting and I'm looking forward for any surprises during the events :D
