HEY! in the end, out of the 2 back to back SS, they both came out with 1st and 2nd places lol...isn't that the fairest way to go? =]
1. records don't count??? we pawers should have consulted u before pawing. Also, there is no need for job seekers making up a resume for each job application. Past job experience/performance don't count, u r rewriting the whole HR science. 2. You are surprised because the Swiss open MS final result didn't adhere to your theory. If it does, it wouldn't be a surprise to u., as simply as that.
Bananakid: Can i be of any help? Pemuda: Nah, I'll just do my usual tactical stuff.......wasting taxpayers money, char koay teow, goreng pisang etc, these should be able to fend them off my back for now...... Cooler/Bananakid/Headphones: ............ To be continued.......
My 3 sens on the match.. ..okay, finally saw the match and to be frank, i almost fell asleep (not to say it's unwatchable, maybe i'm sleepy). Overall, the match was literally full of rallies, lobs, clears, defensive shots back and forth..anyway. I mentioned in the Swiss Open Finals thread, just prior to the MS Final, that in order for LCW to win he needs to do 3 things: 1. Play sharper at the net : which, overall, he did manage to do so. He was esp. sharp towards the end of the 2nd game. 2. Play fast and quick drives or clears : overall, there weren't many. But, as mentioned by others in the other threads, he did keep LD at the baseline for most of the match with his deep lifts and clears, thus denying LD of any opportunity to do his usual array of jumpsmashes. 3. Control/dictate the tempo : overall, LCW did okay. At least he didn't allow LD to control or dictate the match. -Looking at LCW: *As for the the talk of LCW's defense being the main factor, i would say to an extent and it happened mostly in the 1st game. *To me, the key was LCW being patient throughout the game, much different than in last week's AE. He wasn't attacking, but he certainly kept LD clear of his attacking zone. IMO, the strategy employed by LCW in his Swiss Open Finals match is the best case strategy LCW can devise when playing against LD. -Looking at LD: *For some reason he just didn't look interested throughout the match. He did throw down several smashes, but he seemed to prefer to keep the shuttle in play. It's especially glaring when the score was 15 all or 16 all in both games. In a couple of scenarios, LD tried to do a Taufik by attempting several backhand shots where i would imagine he would go for the over-the-head shots. *A few others mentioned it, but yes, for some reason LD wasn't able to generate or force much of the action. It was, literally, long rallies in almost every pt. I did watch last yr's Swiss Open MS Final, between LCW & LD (on youtube), and in that match, LCW was making so many errors even though LD wasn't going full speed. It seemed like LD was even offering LCW chances to smash/attack. Btw, i don't think LCW whitewashed LD..it was even steven until the 15 or 16 pt mark in both games..
In a sense, it is true. We usually look at records when we are not familiar with the players. If we are familiar, then the heck with the records even if they agree or disagree with your judgement. For PAWers, we rarely look at the head-to-head records, more the recent records against various opponents. (But then, I am a lousy PAWer, what do I know?) To take the anology to HR, we look at the records/CV/education because we have no other way of determining the competency of the job-seeker. But if we know the person or have worked with the person before, then the records/CV/etc are secondary, sometimes just to make it official. It cuts both ways. Even if the person is highly qualified on paper but you know personally how much he sucks, then you would tend not to offer the job.
everyone will have their own pattern...and style....and...the paw result will show u correct or not....
A bit off topic-Hmm.. 1. For some or a few, they would look at a player/pair's tendency or track record vs. certain country's players/pairs. An example is Fu & Cai, who tend to struggle vs. MAS or INA pairs, but find the challenge is less vs. other pairs. 2. HR analogy. Well, i would imagine, they can only use the resume/CV/education if the employee is just fresh out of school or just moved to a different country. If s/he has been employed before, maybe there will be a contact no. or reference no., in case the prospective employer needs to call the prospective employee's former employer.
^^How did he look??..^^ ..i only noticed LD's body language and temperament towards the end of the 2nd game. Certainly, as i mentioned, he looked frustrated and seemed to not care about competing anymore at the 15 all or 16 all juncture. The last pt of the match was so evident. Again, as i mentioned, for some reason LD didn't look at all interested throughout the match. There wasn't much urgency on LD's part, for some reason. If there were, LCW sure didn't allow it to creep up.
ok...so...he does look frustrated to u right????do u think this frustrated is just because of he act after 'let' lcw win????
You mean.. ..LD was acting throughout the whole match???.. sorry, not too clear on what you're trying to ask.
^^Hmm..^^ ..personally, i don't think LD "let" LCW win the match. If he were, he'll be making so much unforced errors you would probably hear a bunch of boo-birds in the hall. But, i do feel LD's lack of competitiveness, esp. towards the end of the 1st & 2nd games gave LCW every opportunity to win the match. And no, i don't think LD was "acting" to look frustrated.
