I was so disappointed when I couldn't find their semifinals match yesterday, because they didn't make it. LYD/YYS is has been my most favourite pair to watch since the Denmark 2013.
Their previous engagement with the Japanese was also a great game. It's a shame there're no Koreans on finals day, but the Japanese duo certainly put enough effort in to deserve the win.
No, the bwf channel had uploaded the match replay already, but because of some unknown reasons, they prevented the youtuber in some places from watching their video. Vietnamese are suffering these unfair decision of bwf. If we use the AnonymOX software, we can still watch the match replays, but it's very uncomfortable
Unlike KSH, Yoo plays all-round style. KSH's main strength is his smash, but he lacks of speed and quite terrible in defence.
Ko's defense is certainly not terrible...and Yoo only is better at certain things, which just so happen to be the important ones when you want to win against Ahsan/Setiawan, like the first three shots or the readiness of the racket after the serve. Personally, I hate Yoos smash - it's not very good technically and really horrible from an aesthetic point of view. One can't deny it's effective, though! Still, I like Ko better, despite Yoo seemingly working better with LYD.
Although I wanted LYD/YYS to win, they couldn't have lost to a better opponent. The japanese were just fantastic, particularly in very difficult circumstances. Little support from the spectators and worse still, outrageous line calls that were simply ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it. Half a foot out, called in... seriously? YYS is obviously a better match for LYD than KSH but I think it’s time they really thought about shifting defensive position forward. They’re so exposed and I don’t think they need to given their defensive abilities. The Japanese has one of the best defences around and yet they don’t feel the need to stand so far back.
Can't wait until this comes out, although it's for fun - http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/2pm-s-chansung-is-awed-by-nichkhun-s-015600425.html Apparently LYD/YYS plays Park Joo Bong and Kim Dong Moon in doubles. Should be interesting
part 1 - http://t.co/hEEQ62UjC0 part 2 - http://t.co/kBgUQCLrgJ I wish that they actually showed the LYD/YYS vs Park Joo Bong/Kim Dong Moon game though
The LYD/YYS vs PJB/KDM match is found in the next episode. For his age, PJB's reflexes and agility really amazes me Two thumbs up for him! Part 1 Part 2
Apparently, it is believed that LYD was caught using perfomance boosting substances accordingly to a Korean newspaper. There's gonna be a press conference at 2pm (GMT+9). He will be suspended for 2 years accordingly to the news paper. http://sports.news.naver.com/sports...&mod=read&office_id=023&article_id=0002674449
Nothing is confirmed yet. Still waiting for the press conference. Apparently, LYD is the biggest topic on NAVER atm. Everyone wants to know what's going on, since he's so popular in Korea.
