Dubai BWF World Superseries Finals 2017 (13-17 December 2017)

CHINA : #1 in Super Series for 11 straight years
China is indeed the most dominant even until now. However, I think their Thomas Cup QF loss last year and their Sudirman Cup silver this year signify the waning of the dominance. With no WS SS title this year, I doubt they could even retain the Uber Cup next year.

One discipline they have extremely excelled in this year though is XD winning 8 of the 12 SS titles plus the SSF. However, XD is also the discipline most affected by injuries to other players. Will be very interesting to see how things play out next year especially once Goh Liu Ying, Choi SolGyu, Yuta Watanabe, and Sapsiree Taerattanachai get back in the mix.
 
Top 15 Rallies From 2017 Dubai Super Series Finals


BWF TV should start doing this. Making the top 10 rallies from each tournaments.
Maybe we can even have the 'best rally award' at the end of the year. A good way to increase the excitement around badminton play :)
 
Is there any other sport that has a free YouTube streaming?

If they're gonna block it anyway it will serve more as a piss me off for no good reason than create excitement ;)

so badminton is one of few, we should be grateful.
but yeah hoping for improvement is ok.
Come to watch badminton in Germany or any other victim of geo-blocked BWF-livestream and we will speak again.
 
Or they could make proper highlights or condensed play videos.
That would be SO AWESOME! Those "play of the day" clips are a nice gimmick, but the socalled "highlight" clips are just plain useless. Would be so nice if they would offer a separate well-cut highlight clip (~3-5 minutes) for each of the big matches that also retells the story of the match.
 
I am one of them, fyi Indonesia is also geo-blocked.
Oh, then I've learned now that "here" actually is in Indonesia. :p

Then how come you are grateful? It's pain in the arse to always have to find ways to trick the geo-blocking. I've watched some SS matches while I was in Mexico a couple of weeks ago - and you wouldn't believe how convenient it is to simply start the Youtube app on your smart-tv and watch the matches without any trouble.

China will dominate XD for the foreseeable future. The reigning Natsir is retiring next year for sure.
 
BWF has been looking into it and most likely will implement after a council meeting during coming Thomas Cup final if I m not mistaken. To be approved in the meeting. The game will be more exciting in 11pts format, best of five games.

You'll get MD match end below 15 mins.
