Entry List

Yes, but....

Yeah, this Thai Open could be a warming-up tourney before the big one in Hyderabad...

Yes, but many BIG guns from CHN, KOR, MAS, DEN etc (whom also WC*contenders) skip this tourney,
Maybe they're more focussing on training to get peak performance on WC next August
Or it has something related to H1N1 and recent political issues in Thailand?
For INA camp, i think there's another major issues:
The financial problems,
IMO, PBSI should give bigger opportunity to their junior squad to compete in international tourney
But hey, it's a classic old songs!

PBSI decided to send them to NZ Open instead of Thai Open

^ Thanks for the info ,-)

PBSI decided to send them to NZ Open instead of Thai Open

Yeah aside from World & Asia Junior Championships,
Its great if PBSI (or any other baddy association/country) decide to expose their junior squad and back up players to more int'l tourneys (GP or GPG level), to gain more experiences and WR points
Just like CHN did, no wonder their juniors & back up players's game already at the top level
Given the fact that Thai Open didn't attract many top players,
had PBSI decided to send their players, maybe INA camp could get a title or two
Oh Well, lets hope Alvent/Hendra could bode well ,-)
Without many top players compete in this tourney,
could make this years edition a little less interesting,
hope there's still a lot of interesting matches shown
GooD Luck 2 all players ,-)
