if Sonny is still nursing his injury, can PBSI call Alamsyah Yunus to sub in. He has a never-die fighting spirit. He just won the Malaysian GPG.
The knock-out stage drawing is really crucial for INA team as most likely INA will be out as runner-up group 1A as an impact being grouped with hot-fave CHN. Hopefully INA will not face CHN once again too early in QF...
