    Yeah, after their hat-tricks in Japan Open and Kevin mentioning "Yonex" in his winning speech, they should come up with something much better for minions :D:p

    I like their current red-white jersey though, looks cooler than the blue-yellow one.

    I kinda like it, when yonex gives minions special jersey. No matter how ridiculous it was, but the jersey was always designed just for them. We couldnt see other yonex players wear it. Even for Japan, yonex just launched the same jersey for different japanese players.
    But for their 'golden boys', yonex seems to have fun designing new ones every year

    Their special design looked like "rejected" ones lol.
    Though it is true that their striped ones were designed exclusively for minions, but not these pajamas versions. We see them in many players/staff too though different style.

    I don't know. Tight competition. This is marginally worse I think. :D
    Funny when contrasted with the sick JPN shirt, who used to kinda get the short end of the stick for a few years, with those uniforms that hit the shelves outdated and didn't get changed for like 2 years...

    Was kevin the first player to do the crouch defense consistently in MD ? sometimes I even thinking that it's not actually a desperation defense, it's like a secret weapon for him.

    LYD did use the crouch defence back around 2015-2016 but he used it exclusively defensively. Kevin is the first to use the crouch defence offensively and put pressure on opponents even when they have the shuttle above net height (and so far the only one talented enough to utilise it consistently). Never fails to wow me even though he keeps doing it :eek: Though I have to say Kamura does it decently well too but nowhere as good as Kevin

    https://www.suara.com/sport/2019/08...n-marcus-cs-latihan-formasi-4-vs-2-dan-3-vs-3

    Special training being done by Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo / Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and co ahead of their participation in the 2019 Badminton World Championships, August 19-25.

    In the morning training session at Pelatnas PBSI, Cipayung, East Jakarta, Tuesday (08/13/2019), Kevin / Marcus cs trained with the formation of 4 against 2, and 3 against 3.

    PBSI's men's doubles coach, Herry Iman Pierngadi explained, the purpose of the training with the two formations.

    Herry said the purpose of practicing 4 against 2 is to improve the defensive aspects. While the 3 against 3 formation is useful for sharpening the technical side.

    In the first pattern, four players are assigned to attack repeatedly. Meanwhile, the other two players must be prepared to return everything from their four colleagues.

    While in the second pattern, each side filled with three players are required to attack each other.

    The challenge, each player must focus and be alert in returning the shuttlecock that is moving very fast because of the limited space.

    "When it's 2 against 2 the court looks wide and open. If it's 3 against 3 you can't just hit the shuttle freely. In front there are people, behind there are people, so it's sharpening the placement of the shuttle, raising up the tempo," he continued.

    Herry explained that the training pattern that Kevin / Marcus and co devoured was a concoction of the predecessor men's doubles trainers. The rest, he developed himself to be more perfect.

    "Actually, I continued the pattern of Koh Chris (Christian Hadinata) training. back then we had limited court (for practice), so usually only 2 pairs can play, the other can't", Herry said.

    "Finally it was decided to play 3 against 3. The pioneer was Indonesia. So I developed it like this."

    "It used to be only for entertainment. While now I make clear patterns and rules," he concluded.

    Kevin / Marcus cs planned to leave for Basel, Switzerland to take part in the 2019 World Championship on Wednesday (08/14/2019) tomorrow.

    (World Championships 2019) Indonesia targets one title

    Bla bla bla..:D:D:p

    In short, Indonesia is expecting one title from WC 2019 from any discipline. But the highest chance would be from MD as they had managed to have All Indonesian MD Final back to back in the last two tournaments. Though they hope the other discipline like XD, MS could surprise them like they did in Japan Open.

    The players are leaving to Basel on Wed, 14/8/2019.

    Minions will play in both China Open Super1000 and Korea Open S500 next month.
    They have never won either title. But I'd say go for the China S1000 as Kevin did poorly last year.

    I can't believe it's almost 20 years since 2000. Candra/Tony was my favorite pair, thought they could have achieved much more. Sigit was a great player too but I much prefer Tony for Candra's partner.

    Though I am totally grateful to Sigit for coaching Kevin back in the club to be the player he is now :)
