Actually, if you had watched the New Year Special (which is subbed by Youma-Otakus currently), you would get maybe a bit more understanding of the Sai situation, because....

Spoiler:

in this special when the preliminary was over, Hikaru and Akira is in the Salon playing and talking, they were talking about how having an opponent is what make the Go fun, and Hikaru mentioned "Maybe the God of Go is lonely because he has no opponent," and one of the elder beside them say "Maybe the God of Go's purpose for existing is to help Go players everywhere, maybe he taught us all go so that someday, there'll be someone good enough to face him"

makes you think don't it? who Sai really is
