Yeah, I see your point about the XD; Shooting Stars can be considered to be a relatively newcomer who makes a strong statement/impression (a la RI in WS) whereas Partnership of the Year is about an established duo who has consistently performed as winners throughout the year. Hope this explains... I mostly like your MS list, just wonder if Taufik wouldn't qualify better for Resurgent Player?
Thanks, hope I helped fill in the gaps for MS. Will try to think of MD soon. Ah yes, Taufik. He was in the slumps last year. I change my pick to Taufik. Let's see if anyone else votes Taufik too
MS Player of the Year - LIN DAN Goofball - Kenichi Tago Resurgent - Taufik Hidayat Cyborg - hmmmmm Shooting star - Wang Zhengming Saddest story - Hafiz Hashim Handsome - LIN DAN Popular - LIN DAN
Ha! That would be a no-brainer! But I just thought I would keep the Awards List down to players, not Nations or national teams. However, if most of you guys want to include the National Team category. I will do that. Just send in your Ayes or Nays.
This is too obvious... and this is People's Choice Awards for Players, not countries. So Lin Dan now leads the handsome category, wonder if anyone else votes for Boonsak
Precisely. I feel that there is no need for that, after we finish the players then we might have some for teams but they should be funny instead of something blunt as successful.
LOL! They did win a few this year, though! But then we need to be more "diplomatic: about the "old horses to pasture" category. Something like "Lifetime Achievements Award" maybe?
WS Player of the Year - Wang Xin Goofball - Resurgent - WANG LIN Cyborg - hmmmmm Shooting star - Li Xuerui Saddest story - WANG LIN Beautiful - WANG SHIXIAN Popular - WANG XIN
What about the WS category? What about Goofballs in all categories????? Where is your imagination, guys???
Actually, Ajaib has brought up a very important and thought-provoking point. MS Goofball: Tago or HH ?? Its a close call! A photo finish!
Too many from China I guess. Is Wang Xin popular in China? That I'm not too sure. Try to even things out. Most beautiful, I take Wang Lin instead, ha!
As we know, last year they were the pair to beat if others want to win any tournament. So they have chance to qualify and win WC. But in the first quarter of this year, ZB is fired from CHN national team. LYB promised him if he were won WC, he will be recalled to national team. And they won it succesfully, beating Nova/Lilyana, Ko/Ha, & He/Yu to claim the WC title. But, until the end of this year, we haven't see him competing in any international tournament. And it is quite sad for me, with his WC title, ZB deserve being sent to tournaments by LYB.
