Smiling Fish International Series (Thai Satellite 2008)

**badMania** · 05-03-2008, 09:06 AM

I am quietly confident that INA could win one or two titles here (high chance in MD and XD, with the experience of the Pelatnas players).

**Jagdpanther** · 05-03-2008, 09:12 AM

I'm amazed by the great number of shuttlers BAM sent.
Wonder when will PBSI be that wealthy?

And it's been a while since Tournamentsoftware last update. What happened to the WS matches?

Which Indonesia pairs?
Msia has 3 XD pairs progress but I'm not familiar with them, dont remember seeing them play in GP or GP gold. Only Goh in MD, playing XD also.

MD maybe Indonesia will win, other than Goh/Ong, the rest like Teo Kok Siang/Mak Hee Chun are new pairing.
Chan Kwon Beng also play MD, I didnt know that.

PBSI/Djarum send more palyers to Euro tounys then BAM, i.e. Italy, Spain & Russia. Which MAS could not afford to pay for the expenses

Trang is located very near to MAS border, around 4-5 hours drive.

If Wifqi Windarto/Afiat Yuris Wirawan (Laos Int Future Series and Waikato Int Series Winners) can beat Ong/Goh today, then, they can pretty much go to at least SF.

Lingga Lie (winners of a couple of Satellite events with Yulianti previously), Fernando Kurniawan (paired with Subakti before the partner left Pelatnas) and Nathalia Poluakan (winner of Vietnam Open GP event with Yulianti) are experienced XD, MD, and WD players themselves, so, they can win the XD title with their respective pairs.

INA challenge in MS :
Bandar Sigit Pamungkas was down. 1 more to go : Indra Bagus
Go DAREN Ren Ren !

**badMania** · 05-03-2008, 10:58 AM

Both INA MS players are eliminated in R16 today...sigh...looks like Bandar and Indra Bagus are not good enough.

Likewise, only Chong Wei Feng qualifies for the MAS BJSS team. All others (Darren Liew, Vountus Indra Mawan, Beryno Wong, Chan Kwong Beng, Lim Fang Yang, Teo Kok Siang, Zulfadli Zulkifflli, Lok Chong Chieh, Ooi Swee Khoon, Zairul Hafiz Zainudin) all went home too.

**eaglehelang** · 05-03-2008, 11:05 AM

Chong Wei Feng is in Rashid's back up squad, same as Liew Daren, Beryno, Chan Kwong Beng, Lim Fang Yang. Wait a min, it's the same Chong WF who beat Chen Jin in India. But a bit sad also, the other back-up didnt make to join Chong.

OMG, teo kok siang also lost their match??
