    BWF improves the 'face' of Badminton Unlimited
    The previous one was very old fashioned and not captivating at all
    Also, especially get rid of those cringy dub

    if you mean by not many is 3 people (TTY, Srikanth, Viktor) out of 6 expressing their thought (Jia Yifan/CQC included as 1), then yes.
    at least it is more than All England: twice said by Liliyana and Sung Ji Hyun
    Asian Games mentioned 4 times though

    making rules/laws regarding which tournaments you must play & cannot play is downright dictatorial. bwf can justify it to themselves as being in the best interest of the sport and its fans all they want, but that would be the equivalent of telling people the earth is flat. in other words, no matter how you spin the purpose of your intent, the truth is quite different than what you claim.

    this is the most blatant example of exerting control over the athletes.

    if bwf's intent is the genuine concern for the sport to grow, well, this is a clueless way of showing you understand how to accomplish it.
    does this sound like a decision made in partnership with the teams/athletes?

    edit (addition): how will bwf handle the rule governing top players/pairs if a team wants to change pairings? ie. china's current xd situation, or late season changes like korea did in wd?

    yeah, but how many non-asians did they talk to? ha!

    hardly a scientific sampling on the whole, though.

    This is a very good improvement, but somehow I prefer the old narrator.

    I would think TTY said AsianGames. well, you cant pick both as favourite. Not sure what SK said but yes VA said its WorldChamp so maybe he is the only one.

    I am just wondering now that BWF300 is part of world tour there doesnt seem to be different between GPG and Superseries anymore. So if a country is dominant at 300 instead of 500-1000, do it matter?

    Swill Open! I love it. Would that be like the Bitburger Open if it were sponsored by an American brewery?

    only in $ and points.
    it never mattered before. 'country' only matters in team events.
