Different countries sometimes cannot use the same links. So far these links are showing OK: http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/14/94/v-349522.html http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/14/94/v-349457.html * For our BC PAW Game, Sandy has given these PAW Scoring Points; .
. My picks for the Finalists are; WS: Wang Yihan [1]-vs-Wang Shixian [2] MS: Lee Chong Wei [1]-vs-Lin Dan [2] WD Wang X.L./Yu Y. [1]-vs-Tian Q./Zhao Y.L. [2] MD Cai Y./Fu H.F. [1]-vs-Jung J.S./Lee Y.D. [2] XD: Lee Y.D./Ha J.E.-vs-J.Fischer N./C.Pedersen [3] .
That is almost like no upset, except the last one. I think Bae will upset WSX and Jiang will lose easily to WYH. Also, Ko/Yoo might upset CY/FHF. Korea home advantage.

Only 2 countries CHN and KOR in the 3 individual events, WS, WD and MD.
. You have left out LCW. LCW was the best performer of the day too - Allowing Malaysia with 1 out of 1 into the SF. .
. Also not to forget Alexandr Nikolaenko/Valeri Sorokina's great win over He Hanbin/Bao Yixin, allowing Russia with 1 out of 1 into the SF too. .
Well, i hope you are right with MX and MS, while i hope to get a Korean WD (not likely though...) and Bae vs Wang Yihan in the WS... MD would be probably the Dream Final as well as MS, but I hope that Ko/Yoo can use their home-advantage. BTW did the youtube bwtv live stream worked with 480p? Thinking of waking up very early to catch the SFs live...
. As usual, LCW is Malaysia's 'Lone Ranger'. Also, we ought to congratulate; * Russia's Alexandr Nikolaenko/Valeri Sorokina * Denmark's Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen * Japan's Sho Sasaki Without these 4 players/pairs, the Semi-Finals could be an 'ALL CHN-vs-KOR' event. .
my prediction: Lin Dan vs. Lee Chong Wei Wang Yihan vs. Bae Youn Joo Lee Yong Dae / Jung Jae Sung vs. Cai Yun / Fu Haifeng (just these 3 events are already worth any priced ticket!) Joachim Fischer Neilsen / Christinna Pedersen vs. Lee Yong Dae / Ha Jung Eun Wang Xiaoli / Yu Yang vs. Tian Qing / Zhao Yunlei
. You are correct. BWF will be doing this Live-Streaming; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlNRrgXF-2A&feature=player_embedded .
Well, I meant to ask, if the live stream worked good or not for Round of 16 and QF in reference to quality, steadiness and 480p vs 240p? (The uploads of QF and R16 worked great and the picture was quite good) Anyway I´ll get up early and if it is laggy I go to sleep again and watch the uploaded whole SF session via badmintonworldtv!
youtube string was pretty good lately. it used to be pretty bad for 480p. but i didn't see any stuttering last night. 480p is DVD quality, which is quite impressive quality given that it is live badminton.
