cooler said:I second to that.
From what i've seen at the world cup, cai and fu were in the best form i have seen them. They beat sigit and candra in 2 games. Sure like to see the video of this latest fling between cai/fu and gunawan/bach
I don't know about that. I think Sigit/Candra kinda gave up when they realized that with the new scoring system, it was very difficult to catch up when you are that far behind. Probably under the normal scoring system, it would have gone three games.

Strategy of snooping the opponents' strength
Jakarta - The competition at the 2005 Copenhagen Masters begins tomorrow. In this year ending badminton tournament, PB PBSI will only send 1 Men's Double pair. That pairing itself is new, Flandy Limpele/Alven Yulianto. Usually, Flandy pairs with Eng Hiand while Alven pairs with Luluk Hadiyanto.
In their opening match, the Flandy/Alven pair, who are in Group 2, will battle with China's pair of Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun. Besides those 2 pairs, resides also the host country's pair of Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.
In this tournament there are only 2 groups with each group containing 3 pairs/players. This particular event will only field three ties, which are Men's Single, Men's Double and Mixed Double.
PBSI actually had received an invitation from the Copenhagen Masters' organizing committee for five players. They are Men's Single player Taufik Hidayat, current world's #1 Doubles pair Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto and Mixed Doubles's World Champions Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir. But, at the end, the only pair sent are Flandy/Alven.
Will the new pair be burdened a target?? "There are no special target for Flandy/Alven. This event is based on invitation, so it will not affect whatsoever" asserted the Men's Double coach Christian Hadinata, to Jawa Pos yesterday.
The ex-double specialist added, sending this new pair it will benefit Indonesia. That's because Indonesia will be able to measure the strengths of other countries' Men's Doubles, in preparation of facing the 2006 Thomas Cup. Especially, the ones participating are the pairs most likely be in each countries' main Thomas Cup team.
"We'll be able to measure their progress. While other countries will not know the strength of Indonesia", expressed Christian.
The white-haired gentleman also said, eventhough a new pair, Flandy/Alven can not be taken lightly. Especially, Flandy is a player who can adjust very quickly with other player. "It has been know to his opponents. Thus, Flandy/Alven can not be taken with 'one eye'" he asserted.
Prior, Christian had decided to change pairings in Men's Double. The reason for him pairing up Flandy/ALven was because Luluk has been recuperating quite a while after participating in a tournament. Whilst, the strongest four pairs in Pelatnas will be sent to participate in the upcoming All England in mid-January.
All England itself will be the last evaluation stage for deciding who deserve to be the projection pair for Thomas Cup. Because, to be part of the team, it will only need three pairs. Besides the pairs of Flandy Limpele/Eng Hian and Alven Yulianto/Luluk Hadiyanto, the other in the selection are the pairs of Candra/Sigit as well as Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan.
"Copenhagen Master will also become my own evalution stage. If the performance of this new pair is good, perhaps we will pair them up again in the Qualification Rounds and the Thomas and Uber Cup final" said Christian.(dio)

Strategi Intip Kekuatan Lawan
JAKARTA - Persaingan di Copenhagen Masters 2005 mulai tersaji dini hari besok. Dalam turnamen bulu tangkis penutup musim ini, PB PBSI hanya mengirimkan satu pasangan ganda pria. Itu pun pasangan baru, Flandy Limpele/Alven Yulianto. Biasanya, Flandy berpasangan dengan Eng Hian dan Alven bermain bersama Luluk Hadiyanto.
Di laga perdananya, pasangan Flandy/Alven, yang berada di grup 2, bertarung dengan pasangan China Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun. Selain dua pasangan itu bercokol pasangan tuan rumah Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen.
Pada turnamen ini hanya terdiri dari dua grup dengan tiap grup hanya diisi tiga pasangan/pemain. Even itu pun hanya mempertandingkan tiga nomor, yaitu tunggal pria, ganda pria, dan ganda campuran.
PBSI sebenarnya mendapat undangan dari panpel Copenhagen Masters untuk lima orang. Mereka adalah pemain tunggal pria Taufik Hidayat, ganda nomor satu dunia saat ini Candra Wijaya/Sigit Budiarto, dan juara dunia ganda campuran Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir. Tapi, yang dikirimkan akhirnya hanya pasangan Flandy/Alven.
Apakah pasangan anyar tersebut dibebani target? " Tidak ada target khusus bagi Flandy/Alven. Even ini kan berdasar undangan, jadi tidak akan mempengaruhi apa-apa," tegas pelatih ganda pria pelatnas, Christian Hadinata, kepada Jawa Pos kemarin.
Mantan pemain spesialis ganda itu menambahkan, dengan menurunkan pasangan baru ini sangat menguntungkan bagi Indonesia. Itu dikarenakan Indonesia dapat mengukur kekuatan ganda pria negara lain, guna persiapan menghadapi Piala Thomas 2006. Apalagi, yang berlaga adalah pasangan-pasangan yang kemungkinan besar adalah pasukan inti Tim Thomas masing-masing negara.
" Kami bisa mengukur kemajuan mereka. Sedangkan negara lain tidak mengetahui kekuatan Indonesia ," ungkap Christian.
Pria berambut putih ini juga mengatakan, meski pasangan baru, Flandy/Alven tidak boleh diremehkan. Apalagi, Flandy merupakan pemain yang sangat cepat beradaptasi dengan pemain lain. "Itu juga diketahui lawan-lawannya. Sehingga, Flandy/Alven tidak mungkin dianggap sebelah mata," tegasnya.
Sebelumnya, Christian memutuskan untuk melakukan perombakan pasangan di ganda pria. Alasan di pasangkankannya Flandy/Alven ini karena Luluk sangat lama masa pemulihannya usai mengikuti suatu turnamen. Sedangkan, empat pasangan terkuat di pelatnas akan diturunkan pada All England pertengahan Januari mendatang.
All England sendiri akan menjadi ajang evaluasi terakhir untuk penentuan siapa yang berhak menjadi pasangan proyeksi Piala Thomas. Sebab, untuk masuk tim hanya butuh tiga pasangan. Selain pasangan Flandy Limpele/Eng Hian dan Alven Yulianto/Luluk Hadiyanto, yang juga diseleksi adalan pasangan Candra/Sigit serta Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan.+
"Copenhagen Masters juga menjadi ajang evaluasi saya. Jika penampilan pasangan baru ini bagus, mungkin juga di babak kualifikasi dan final Piala Thomas dan Uber dipasangkankan lagi," pungkas Christian.(dio)

I have downloaded some of the matches from Copenhagen masters. I have a problem with DRM (Digital Rights Movement) though. The files only last for one day after downloading it. :crying:
Hopefully I can crack it in a day or two. Not easy for wmplayer10 I have been told.

I think I have bypassed the DRM now. And have converted from .wmv to divx format. Does anybody have some webspace where I can put them, or maybe use megaupload or something?
I have only converted the MS games.
