Hardly surprising that those guys are being spotlighted.
I am just glad that the Navis have stopped blatantly spoiling the results from that tournament. Like how Asa got spotlighted in 28 and Kawaguchi in 30 despite neither having had any past success, and it just so happened they did well in those upcoming tournaments; coincidence I think not.
Here they’re spotlighting competitors for other reasons; Yamada because he’s Yamada, and the other three due to their celebrity status. They’re also doing loads of mini documentary like videos on several prolific competitors on the YouTube channel to the point that it’s no longer really an indication of how the competitor is likely to perform. Beforehand they’d just pick 2/3 competitors which made it way more obvious.

I just watched the Navi earlier today and honestly it was disappointing. There was barely any new footage as it was just recycled YT footage condensed into an hour.
