Trickster vs Workhorse
Time for LCW to shake off his jaguh kampung (village champion) tag that was
once owned by Rashid Sidek, but it will be really tough. If Kenneth plays like how I remember him last during TC2004 in Jakarta, then I think LCW is in trouble... but anything can happen, so may the best man win. 50:50

Elder vs Young
I think comments about this match had been exhausted enough in the past few years. But BF'ers know my preference for the chubby faced Zhou Mi so... 49:51. ;)

New Gen vs Seasoned Campaigners
I'd choose experience over youth in this one. 40:60

World Superpower vs Exciting Upstarts
I can't quite see how Yang/Zhang would lose this but as we observed, the Thais aren't exactly amateurs either when they slain Gao/Huang. Still, I'd fancy the Chinese to win it.

Generasi Baru (New Generation) vs Gen.2 (erm... ;))
I will be biased here as I am REALLY looking forward to KKK/WPT to get their first title as a mixed doubles pair. The INAs pair ain't sitting down and letting that happen though. Tight match, I hope. 50:50. Do Malaysia proud!

WS about to start. ZN & ZM are warming up..... :)

1-3. Zhou M

3-1 now

4-1. can anybody be faster than ZN??

6-1 already. ZM isn't very sharp yet.

7-2... i will go take some pictures instead. somebody take over the live score.
