Realistically speaking, LCW couldn't possibly win every SS from now on. LCW is looking forward to his maiden OG gold medal. He is not even sure that he will continue to play after 2016 Olympics. If he retires after 2016 Olympics, Indonesia Open would be his last SS. If he can still play on, he has openly said he would like to keep his promise to play until SEA Games 2016, which means he would miss WC 2017. He will probably retire without world title. As for now, his biggest goal is to achieve his first OG gold medal. As far as LCW is concerned, as long as he steps on court, he will always try to win. But he rarely play all 12 SS in a single calendar year. As a top 10 player, he would need to play another 3 non-premier SS and 2 SSP to fulfill his commitment. Assuming that he is going to play the minimum amount of tournaments in the latter half of 2016, he would play 9 SS and possibly 1 SSF. That's all my guess at this point.Let's hope Lin Dan wins the Olympics and LCW wins every SS from now on till he retires.
