My money is on LD. He is alot more consistent than many other players, I think he will probably defend his title and take the gold, with LCW and PG both out. PG might just pose a challenge though, alot depends on his form and his stamina.

Number of representatives remaining: China: 13 Indonesia: 4 1/2 England: 4 Malaysia: 4 Denmark: 2 Japan: 2 Singapore: 2 South Korea: 2 India: 1 Chinese Taipei: 1 France: 1 Germany: 1 Hong Kong: 1 Poland: 1 USA: 1/2 As expected, China dominate proceedings when it comes to the head count but that number might be reduced to half after semi-finals day despite there being no China versus China affair.
This is wat we call a championship of the WORLD! iNstead of ALL the spots being occupied by ASIAN. Some EURO players bring cheered around in.. Good shows by them !
Strictly speaking, you can take FRA and CHN out of the list as they're really Chinese imports. We're then left with 2 from DEN and 1 from POL. Some World Championship
I wonder where is that "bananaboy" who said he will change his nick to "bananakid" if WMC wins... LOL
I think MC lost to Zhu Lin in Malaysia Open Final. Zhu Lin has better skill than MC in every department but MC does have very high fighting spirit. Also who would have guessed MC able to beat XXF? So, there's still hope ...
