Echo Minghua's words above. There has indeed already been a Chinese T8er. Also, something for the coverage team to fix: The Round 17 Feature Match is Patrizio Golia vs. Manuel Bucher, not Tomoharu Saito vs. Adam Koska. The wrong names are given both on the main World Champs Rome 2009 page and at the top of the feature match subpage at www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.a... .

In addition to Ming Xu's top eight in Kuala Lumpur, Chih Hsian Chang top eighted Pro Tour Los Angeles in 2005 (won by Antoine Ruel). Mind you Chang is from Taipei, so depending on where you stand on Taiwanese sovreignty you could argue that he's not from China.

A decent Top 8 name-wise.
Deck-wise it's horribly boring and uninteresting. Overpowered creatures, planeswalkers and some random burn/removal.
Time to give control some tools again (or nerf creatures), even the good old counterspell wouldn't be too strong and unfun in this format.

By the way, Gindy's situation was apparently that the wolf shouldn't have died anyway, which is why his opponent didn't do anything, but Gindy didn't exactly understand or something. So he still thought his wolf should've died, but intentionally didn't let his opponent know.

I'm going for Bram too. Not only is he the most expirienced player in this top 8, but he's the only player ever to beat Kai in the top 8 of an individual Pro Tour. That's gotta count for something.

Has the webcast come on yet. There is no link to it right now. Will it be up shortly or are there some technical issues?
