    Before PG can meet LCW, he has to get past WZM, surely WZM team order is to play hard and beat PG. Yesterday NST said LCW wants to regain winning after losing in JO11, that means no mercy so that he can maintain his form/confidence.
    Well, LCW was on top form winning so many SS but still lost to LD in WC, AG, so why not play like LD, give some games out and play this game like poker, and help PG remains in top 4.
    Now, if LCW does meet PG, this LCW dude better smarten up and 'lose' as PG needs WR points to remain in top 4.
    With so many tournaments left to play, there will be plenty opportunity for CJ to gain points and you can bet that LYB will capitalize anyway he can. In FO11 coming up, bet on LD 'losing' to CJ at QF.

    The 3 MAS losses were not atypical. Weren't these the top MAS players in qualifying?

    Daren Liew, as always succumbs to his lack of stamina in G3. Goh/Lim dispatched in error-strewn fashion. Hoo/Woon, the new WD poster girls, humiliated 2 weeks after securing their first big title.

    Still very yoyo.

    Very yoyo indeed, have to agree with that. Anyway, Rexy already made it clear before that Vivian/Khe Wei still have long way to go. And their opponents were Savitree/Sapsiree...

    Ai ya...Vivian n Khe Wei still Grand Prix level...

    Under coach Pang, Ho/Woon won the Indonesia GP , But under coach Rexy , barely few weeks only, disaster happen.... may be this is the strategy from BAM to embarass Rexy. so that to have pay cut ... :D:D

    I love the live stream link and i think its a step in the right direction for badminton. However they need to stream better matches.

    For example i set my alarm clock to wake up in time to watch lin dan 1st round match. What a disappointment. Instead of showing us a top player like lin dan they choose to stream some no namer mixed doubles game. That is no way to win fans. Who the hell would wanna watch a 1st round mixed doubles game when on the next court we got lin dan playing. They have to do a better job of streaming the IMPORTANT or TOP NAME matches, not some games that nobody cares about.

    Thats my little rant

    ^^ well at lease they should have it on their stream page, so if danish players get priority then later on in the day we can rewatch the top players play instead of just seeing the scores on the result page, now that would be great and would bring more interest and traffic to their site. That way people from all over the world would go on their website to watch the top seeds play. Nobody outside of denmark would watch reruns of no namers.

    [​IMG] Who the hell wants to see Lin Dan bully Ouseph :rolleyes: ... they don't have any job to stream anything anyway (it says more about you not knowing who is playing :p, "no name former world champs and defending champ")

    How can they "give danish players priority and later on you can rewatch other matches" that were never streamed?

    One of the reasons you don't see top players early is because they almost always get out of R1. This gives the broadcaster an opportunity to show other players, especially local ones. It is the norm that the broadcaster will feature more of the local players.

    Ever watch CCTV? Tell me they don't stack their schedule with CHN players. A Danish BC member watching this broadcast could easily post "who the hell wants to watch all these no name CHN players".

    Anyway, I believe LD will be on court 2 tomorrow so you're in luck.

    The real BWF streaming starts tomorrow featuring Court 1. The organizers will keep streaming Court 2 on the side as a bonus (like these two days of streaming are a bonus) :)

    Correct. Court 1 will be the BWF court featuring the majority of the DEN players. Court 2 will have the remainder of the DEN players plus a bunch of the other top players (LD, LCW, CL, CY/FHF, CJ, WX, Schenk, WXL/YY, etc)

    Both courts 1 and 2 will carry matches with Jung Kyung Eun in them :p

    I rather watch lin dan or lee chong wei destroy a top 50 ranked player and learn from them, rather than watch a top 40 vs a top 40.

    They have 4 courts shouldnt be hard to install cameras on all 4 courts or at least 2 courts, that way we can watch the danish players live and at then later in the day watch lin dan, leechongwei, chen long.

    You location is holland so ur obviously bias, nobody said they arent streamed im just making suggestions that would make it a lot more interesting.

    U think anyone outside denmark would rather watch a denmark vs thailand mixed doubles round 1, or a real champion like lin dan or leechongwei.

    Most of the world would rather watch top 10 ranked players and actually watch the highest level of play.

    Some organisers have learnt their lessons

    .
    Some organisers have learnt their lessons about getting ready (camera and all) to stream Lin Dan's matches; When everything is ready, Lin Dan gives a walkover. :eek::eek::eek:
