Chen Jin chased & overtake 20-17

.
Somehow, I've got a feeling that Chen Jin will be eliminated.

Takuma Ueda is playing in top form.

is it because of Park Joo-Bong...?!

WOW... Chen Jin shifted up one gear. But Takuma Ueda could still have a chance.

Of course

It's more likely due to their club system though. If you look at the Osaka International Challenge you can see all the Japanese players who are very strong but haven't made their way out to Australia.

China, Japan, Korea and Denmark all have some form of club system. Malaysia doesn't. Go figure.

Malaysia has the KLRC. Unfortunately, KLRC couldn't find other clubs to play against in Malaysia.

Perhaps KLRC should play against clubs overseas. The closest ones should be in Indonesia.

Yes, but the difference is KLRC is pretty much the only club in Malaysia, and they don't take in players that compete as part of the national squad. Indonesia also have a club system, but again it's different, to what Korea, Denmark, China and Japan have, as if they play for the club, they tend not to be in the national set up.

Maybe KLRC and clubs in Indonesia should organise player swaps and all their players can train under different clubs. It's detrimental to Malaysia not to have a club system In my opinion.

.
I am quite happy with my PAW Game so far; I have scored 5 correct out of 7 entries.

I was going mostly for lower ranked players. But Wang Lin [Q] and Taufik Hidayat [5] couldn't produce the points for me.
.

[undeadshot]

I might have to agree that Malaysia needs a club system to produce many different players who can be pretty decent, such as Japan, whose unknowns are definitely not any pushover...
Then the national body should choose players from the club based on their potential where they can train with better facilities
