You wouldn't believe how long I spent trying to parse the grammar of that sentence before I realised that Dang and You were proper nouns.

It could get even more confusing if certain Chinese players turn up at the same event:-

No Ma is playing Mi

I'm confused who is playing you?

No Hu is already through, Shi is playing You.
