Because he's cheering for Tachibana, and the only hope Tachibana had at winning this match is that GUYU doesn't work against him?
I'm only cheering for tachibana,
because I have a low opinion of Yamato. I dont think Yamato should have defeated shiraishi in the tournament last round.
Everyone's opinion on yamato's skill is based on how he used a GUYU on tezuka.
when even yamato in the manga
he stated that even while doing his best, tezuka was owning him hard, until he used GUYU. And despite GUYU, tezuka was going to win yamato by using tezuka phantom,
so if you are going to determine the skill level of a player based on their opponent being unable to return the ball or win points, then tezuka still beats yamato and yamato is not at tezuka's level since he cant counter phantom.
but not worries, I'm sounding like a broken record. I can accept that my views may be wrong and that my views are not in the majority.

How do you know that? We've only seen GUYU once, and the explanation we had back then wasn't the one you're giving
I dont know for a fact or do I have the manga chapter to show as evidence.
I would have to use common sense that everyone's level of predictability are at different levels. Recall kikumaru and echizen 's have a natural ability to see fast balls or something to that effect. Other players can probably see fast balls as well but not as well as those 2 characters at the time the manga stated that.
I hope we can we agree that all player's visual and cognitive abilities are not the same and
if not at least we can agree each player has different stats.
But based on my logic/opinion of tezuka having a higher predictibility ability, that yamato 's GUYU
affects him more. vs a person (or other players) who has a lower level or ability of predictability.
and yes, I'm also basing my reasoning on the
anime, which isn't cannon.
So the conclusion is this: Komoni sensei really messed up
in the Manga based on the majority's view of Yamato, he's an ultra good player that is on par with tezuka, but
in the anime he isn't because it supports that GUYU works due to tezuka's natural predictability skills
do we want to say konomi messed up? or do we want to say he forgot to add details in teh manga,
stretching a player from being really good in one canon and really crappy in another canon.
unless we have puri pair data on GUYU,
its like saying a certain shin pot char is bad azz, but dont worry , in the anime he sucks azz.
