looks interesting, i wonder if WCH can beat BCL given he's just beaten CJ. expect LD to dominate the bottom half as usual.
WCH will probably be beaten by BCL imo, cuz i think the chinese coaches will not take him lightly this time around. Nonetheless, i hope he passes through ! MAS BOLEH ! Could we be seing a LCW-LD finals this time around ?
Bah dont think so la, unless LCW REALLY plays a bad game. The last time they met, if I recall nicely, LCW has no trouble at all. Now you may be right if the crowd becomes as scary as in the Olympic finals (omg that was really gr8 support)
Almost all bdm top-names will participate this SS except INA shuttlers who decide to withdraw as reported earlier by Hauge. Most baddy fans will wait another LCW-LD showdown in finale after last time at Sudirman Cup semifinal last May. Few entries in MD department where there're 5 pairs get free ticket to progress automatically into second round.
Some very intersting matches in early rounds,...WCH vs Tanongsak, PG vs CL, LCW vs GWJ.......maybe WCH vs BCL...
MD,WD,XD are almost chinese team....CHN versus CHN...less attractive... this tournament seems like regularly excercise for them.... what make the other player miss this tournament?
Probably due to the China's infamous setting of umpires/service judegs/line judges all from China... Remember last year JJS/LYD withdrew the game for their unfair judges.
The doubles event are no events now. Only Chinese names visible, hardly any challenge to them. I got very few players to cheer now - Indonesia/India not appearing :crying::crying:
lyd/jjs supporters i tink lyd/jjs needs support badly since it is at d chinese homeground where many "surprises" comes in lets cheer them on!!!
eerrmm i mean like shockin defeat by d koreans in case of any dark horse from d china force. well..... anything can happen though
only ms and ws have more non chinese player double department is just china affair all the best in the knockout stage ya^^
