"#TheOnesThatWereLeftOut. #Minions winning #WorldTour tournaments at will. " Sadly minions can't yet win WC at will..
For info, GohTan or AaronSoh will have over a day rest when they meet Minions in R2. They will play today while Minions not playing.
Minions beat their first opponents today in straight games 21-17, 21-8. Had trouble adjusting to the hall perhaps in G1? But they were cruising in G2. Kevin's being too casual in G2 but with good placements shot except for one lol. Is it just me or did Marcus just get wider...?

Team "Minions United" were in battle mode today Go defend the title! ================================================== https://m.badmintonindonesia.org/app/information/newsDetail.aspx?/8868 Minions are cautious against Malaysia pair Kevin : They have a good no lob game. Especially in their home soil might motivate them more to defeat me. Now we are focusing more at our own preparation. Today we have gotten our focus since the beginning of the match, so we didn't give any opportunities to the opponents who actually had good and steep attacks. Marcus : We were more prepared today, they opponents couldn't get out of the pressure and not able to get their game going. Probably this Taiwan pair is a new less experienced pair compared to the other TPE pairs who have competing experiences, that's why they still made many unforced errors. (Malaysia Masters 2020) Kevin/Marcus Waspadai Ganda Putra Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, 8/1/2020) Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Marcus Fernaldi Gideon akan berhadapan dengan ganda putra andalan Malaysia, Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik, di babak kedua Malaysia Masters 2020. Pasangan rangking satu dunia ini melaju ke babak kedua setelah mengalahkan Lin Chia Yu/Yang Ming-Tse dari Taiwan, dengan skor 21-17, 21-8. Meskipun sudah tiga kali menang atas Chia/Soh, namun Kevin/Marcus tak mau lengah, apalagi lawan bermain di kandang sendiri yang tentunya bakal menjadi motivasi tersendiri untuk menang. "Mereka punya permainan no lob yang bagus. Apalagi main di kandang sendiri, mungkin mereka punya motivasi lebih untuk mengalahkan kami. Sekarang kami lebih fokus ke persiapan diri kami sendiri," ujar Kevin. Mengawali laga di Malaysia Masters 2020, Kevin/Marcus tampil cukup baik. Pasangan juara bertahan ini tak memberikan kesempatan bagi Lin/Yang untuk mengembangkan permainan. "Hari ini kami sudah fokus dari awal permainan, jadi kami nggak kasih kesempatan ke lawan, sebetulnya mereka serangannya bagus, pukulan mereka tajam," kata Kevin kepada Badmintonindonesia.org. "Kami hari ini lebih siap, lawannya nggak berkembang dan bermain di bawah tekanan. Mungkin pasangan Taiwan ini adalah pasangan baru uyang belum terlalu matang, kalau dibandingkan dengan pasangan Taiwan yang lain yang lain lebih banyak pengalaman bertanding. Jadi mereka masih banyak melakukan kesalahan sendiri," jelas Marcus. Indonesia punya tiga wakil ganda putra di babak kedua Malaysia Masters 2020. Sebelumnya, pasangan Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan dan Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto sudah lebih dulu melaju ke babak kedua. (*)
First tournament of the year, dont expect anything if they come unstuck against AaronSoh , the new SeaGames champ.
Is yuta injured or something ? I just realised he's withdrawn from MM. I want to see minions play yuta/endo as much as possible before the olympics, so hopefully he'll play in IM next week.
Minions won the match in straight games 21-15, 21-11. I was expecting a closer match but minions had little trouble defeating Chia/Soh today. Looked solid and made less mistakes (than usual).
The match is the last one on court 2.. guess it's better than getting dumped to court 3 without any streaming for same country match Oh yeah I forgot, they have streaming for all courts.
Watched their match today. Not much difference in their play to me. Only thing I observed was that Kevin is trying to be more creative with defence (he is starting to play those cross blocks more LYD-esque). And yeah of course the faster conditions means business back to normal One thing I think they still can improve is their rotation, because they really don’t want Kevin to be stuck behind against good pairs. I’ve noticed this a lot, they get an small opportunity to rotate Marcus to the back but are too hesitant in their movement. Could learn a lot from ZSW/HYQ on this front, their rotation is incredible, one second HYQ is at the back the next moment ZSW is at the back raining smashes at opponents
Hello~ check this video please. Kevin and Ahsan, this pair is very powerful and overpowered. How about your thought?
Want to see Kevin/Ahsan in international tour events for at least 1 year from Tokyo OG till 2021 Worlds. Don't think Ahsan would be in perfect shape till 2024 as he'll be 37. If only Ahsan were 10 years younger, we could have seen a deadly pair.
They lost the last time they played fajar/rian right ? gotta be careful, fajar/rian's form are always good at the beginning of the year.
Hehe I know. I meant to say Ahsan/Kevin partnership would have lasted more years had they been partnered earlier (provided they bring consistent results)
Ahsan/Setiawan will retired as a pair together to be remembered as a legendary pair, winning countless titles. ( Before and after split up). Furthermore they're independent pair now, for sure they will retired together. As for Kevin, there are many promising young talents in Indonesia. Surely PBSI will get one for Kevin when Gideon reach retirement.
2 talented individuals .., but if they play together Dont mean they will make a good pair. I think individually Ahsan is better than Gideon but are they able to win that many titles together if AhsanKevin play together? I dont think be more than 10 or maybe not more than 5, Most pairs dont even have 5 SS or total 10 big titles, if you check at it. Talented they are , but different character. Ahsan is more at joy with Hendra calming influence. In the world top 4 now, there are a pair with 2 strong individuals, but how many Titles or Superseries have they won? All MD match is so good. I watched all the match except the Taiwanese vs Korean match yesterday. Even OngTeo and LeeKim match i watch at the same time. just a R2 matches but its exciting. cant say the same with other sectors.
