Premise: Western pros who truly think “I won one game, so I was close and I’ll win next time” will find themselves facing the same kind of disappointment that top Western pros have now experienced for the last two years straight.

The West showed some good games at Worlds, this much is true, but let’s leave it at that and wait for real improvement to be shown, not unduly praise good performances and promise ourselves and our professionals that next year will be better
