It's official - Hu Ziyang is #1 in China's annual (read bloody) Pro qualifying tournament this year(2011), and is a new pro now! Congrats!

BTW, 13-year old Hu has registered for this year's US Go Congress - not sure if he is still going to make it or not. I bet he will upset a lot of strong players if he is here. ;-)

Can it really be said that he would be upsetting anyone in the Americas given that he is a 13 year old pro himself and obviously on the rise?

Absolutely - he is intimidating to any NA pros sitting across the table because he is so young, and strong.

Gobert: in sports and other competitions, the more typical use of upset is "to beat someone in a surprising way." When Feng Yun lost two games in the SAMG qualifiers last week, those losses were "upsets". Hence the confusion.
