the limitation number in OG, WC, and Final SS the changes in scoring system according to you, who is the object? btw, than'x to remind me.
Please..please....you are still under probation..also they will know as you used Dong Jiong name before and it got banned... you argued same things all the time..Michael.. Please kindly stop it and let it go!!!!! They are great players....all right?
you should reject OG 2008 in your country.. it wastes money and not objective and also not prestigious
before BWF launched the Final SS, Kor Open provides the highest prize money, and Kor is a neutral country from 4 heavenly kings. anyway, JPN or KOR is the same, no change in the league table coz TH never won both tourneys, while LD ever won it. the gap between one tourney and another is only one. that's the reason.
ok i may be wrong.. i believe i had read TH is on listed 2005 hall of fame ... at least TH got twice in a row the player of year (2004,2005) BWF's PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD Recipients of the Eddy Choong Player of the Year Award 1998 Peter GADE CHRISTENSEN (DEN) 1999 Camilla MARTIN (DEN) 2000 Candra WIJAYA (INA) 2001 GAO Ling (CHN) 2002 KIM Dong Moon (KOR) 2003 KIM Dong Moon (KOR) Ra Kyung MIN (KOR) 2004 Hidayat Taufeek (INA) 2005 Hidayat Taufeek (INA)
what does it mean? I said that BWF limits the number of players in each department for those 3 events, plus they change the scoring system to neutralize CHN's might. if BWF wants to be fair, don't limit the number. anyway, what's the relevant with OG 08? I never said OG isn't prestigious, but I said that OG isn't the most difficult tourney to win. that's the same also with WC, Final SS, 12 SS tourneys, GP gold and silver. TH is the best MS player in OG 04, that's why he can get the gold. but, the OG winner is not the best in the world. look at ABK, ZJH trounced him in AE and WC.
it's up to you then... it's OK for me, you say lindan is the best or china players are the best in the world..but don't you ever 'lower' other country players
Michael_8: If we wanna know LCW or LD, which one is the better player tis year, just look at their meetings: LCW vs LD Sudirman Cup: LCW won-21-12,21-15 China Master : LD won -15-21,21-14,21-15 Japan Open : LCW won-21-19,21-15 who win more? definitely is LCW, who bt LD twice, with convincingly two straight games, LD not even manage to take a game from LCW...
why Taufik? in 2004, it should be: Zhang Ning : Kor, Mal, S'pore & OG (4 titles) Gao Ling : Swiss & AE (WD), Mal, Ina & OG (XD) (5 titles) both players won their titles outside CHN. TH: OG, ABC, Ina (ABC was held in Jkt, without euro players surely, without top CHN players, and without several top players from Asia. really a perfect tourney for TH). 2 out of 3 titles he won it in Ina. in 2005, it should be: Xie Xing Fang : Germany, AE, WC (3 titles) coz, TH only won S'pore and WC (2 titles) if the player of the year award only available for MS player only, why Candra Wijaya, KDM, RKM, and Camilla Martin had ever won it? if the POTY award only available for MS player whom ever won the WC title, why Sun Jun & Xia Xuanze never won it? besides discrimination, can u give another answer?
where is LYB, Tian Bing Yi. and the most important thing is, where is : the most successful MS player Yang Yang the most talented player Zhao Jian Hua
ZJH has a lung problem. even with that problem, he can outplayed several top MS players. let see it TH can do it, if he has the same condition.
i am closing this thread. as usual, topics like these are pointless and eventually (as it had) generate endless rathole arguments. i am sure if i work hard enough, i can find around 10 reasons that i am a better MS player than Taufik and LD. and i can just stubbornly insists that those are the best criteria to judge with.
