...hope this will last long to all tourney paw next year...

Played badly, broke the new racket:crying:, then went home and deleted the winning MDSF pick (11 points!). Then, very disappointed, instead of picking 8 safe points on LCW, decided it's too little, 9 is better, and staked on Widianto/Natsir... On Sunday, to finish it off, they wasted 3 match points and lost.
I was pretty sure I will be out of podium, but the next matches finished in my favor.Yeah I saw that.Last Saturday was a really bad day for me.
Yeah we know.Last Saturday was a really bad day for me.
What can I say? I played with some strategy from the very beginning, but at the end it turned out a game of luck. Congratulations to ycchen (it was your luck that you outrun me) and badders7 (it was my luck that you didn't outrun me)! And thanks to Sandy!
i chose LCW after watching his match against Taufik Hidayat..i've never seen LCW in such a fit condition before this and i knew he stood a very big chance to win this time... but to be frank, i thought Badders would have taken his chance to overtake me and Dmitry....Congrats to ycchen, Dimitry and badders7. Once again, familiar names rise to the top of the standings. Luckily for me, ycchen hit form one tournament too late.
good luck in your PAW semifinal....Yes luck wasn't on my side in the end, but I'm still happy with my performance
Guessing wrong on only 4 picks out of 28 when it's the worlds best players(minus china) who meet, is very much acceptable in my opinion My strategy was clear all the way through, to only pick on what I thought was safe picks, even if it meant I could only get 7, 8 or 9 points. I didn't want to risk too much as I thought a lot of the matches with high points was difficult to predict, so it wouldnt be worth it in the end. With a little more luck I had beaten you guys as well, but you deserve it just as much as me for also only being incorrect on 3 and 4 picks! Nova/Liliyana missing 3 matchpoints for Dimitry to grap the win was even more unlucky than the two matches I picked wrongly on finals day!
