Looking Forward to who Kevin's new partner will be. Any idea guys ? Gideon injury had been lingering him for quite some time, it is really unpleasant yet it is a fact that he has to face. I sincerely hope that Minions able to be back on track on their Race to OG following Marcus completed his left foot surgery, but recent right foot injury has given another blow to this duo in a critical race to OG time. Hope for the best
It's either Rahmat Hidayat (who was playing with Pramudya when Yeremia was injured) or the junior Daniel Edgar Marvino. But Rahmat is already in the main national team while Daniel is a Pratama, so Rahmat already often practice with main team member like Kevin. Herry IP said that Kevin is closer to Rahmat than with Daniel EM and sometimes went out together to hangout thus has better communication with him. No confirmation yet about the pair will be permanent or temporary like Rahmat-Pramudya arragement. Only said that Marcus will be out for a while due to injury and surgery. ------------------------------- I yet to see one. Valencia and Kevin’s close friends were seen posed together but not many pics surfaced, so it’s up to the people who have the pics to share them.
New ballgame now, they lowered their average age to 24 which is younger than AaronSoh and maybe younger than ShettyRR. Lets see how good they will do. (hope they can feature in AllEngland)
Rahmat is a front court player just like kevin, I don't think it would work Kevin need a hard hitter as his partner if he want to win big titles At this point I think herry just doesn't think that kevin is the best player anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have any problem choosing player like daniel/bagas/pramudya to be kevin's new partner instead of this 20 year old who still raw
those guys are set and are ranked to high to be split. Why disrupt teammate who going to QF and better . when can they start playing ? Do they need to start at 100s 300s i feel bad for who they have to face in Qualifying rounds i see this is a new clean slate for kevin and think he will go back to beasts mode. it be so FUNNY if he finally wins world championships or 1000 tournaments without marcus rite from the start of he partnership im very excited
Yeah . If He is good means thats goodbye for KevinGideon partnership. Through time, he will achieve new achievements while Minions will slowly fade away. This is the careerbreak that Rahmat needs. I remember he beaten HeZhou playing with Pramudya.
Gideon MF was previously a front court Player. He was partnered with Markis Kido ( Back Court Player ) as well as Agrippina whom I think is a Back court Player too. When Gideon was partnered with Kevin, It forces Gideon MF to be Back Court Player, however Kevin/Gideon game rely on speed, not so much on Power, imo. As for Rahmat, starting this year, He is now at Pelatnas Senior Team instead of Junior. Thus, Kevin choose Rahmat to be his new Partner mainly due to the bonding they have in & off court. As for the Tournaments, I guess they could start hitting Tournaments on September. Available Sept tournaments as per BWF Calendar as follow: China Open Super 1000, Indonesia Masters Super 100, Hong Kong Open Super 500, Vietnam Open Super 100, Kaohsiung Open Super 100. 3x100 Events, 1x500 & 1x1000 Events. 100 Events is going to be really exciting.
Kevin/Rahmat withdrawn from indonesia masters and indonesia IC next month, and for some weird reason PBSI didn't register them to play in hongkong. I'm starting to think that this is herry ip way to get his revenge against kevin after that controversy months ago. I don't think herry consider kevin that good anymore anyway
Kevin still easily the best front player in the game. Stop assuming things , henry and kevin are fine Its still way to early in the pairing. Maybe they need more practice or his wife due date is close By the events. Kevin gots a new wife New badminton partner And a kid coming along Its a new chapter in his life and a new fresh start he going to come out sooo strong!! I cant wait! Goo minions!
Revenge LOL...your opinion is too exaggerated just like a soap opera. It's clear that coach Aryono said the reason. "Kevin/Rahmat's preparations weren't good, so we pulled them out. Even if they play there (IIC), the points they get are small,". "So we are projecting (playing) to the Super 300 or 500. If they can get in there, they will get big points too'. https://www.cnnindonesia.com/olahra...asan-kevin-rahmat-batal-debut-di-iic-2023/amp
Now they say rahmat gonna play with his old partner again while waiting for debut with kevin haha At this point kevin should just quit pelatnas and play with gideon again, or maybe find someone from djarum as his new partner
You could see the replies from the tweet above, even a lot of netizen realized that PBSI/coaches don't even respect him no more. I really don't think they would care if kevin decide to quit pelatnas. The fact that they didn't even want to split pair like leo/daniel, yeremiah/pramudya, bagas/fikri, and gave him an option like rahmat and some other 18/19 year old should tell you something. they don't rate him anymore
Kevin does not need to work for the rest of his life. He just need to be at home in mansion paid by his wife's family.
