    I still can't believe the pale minions win over the on fire kang/seo.
    And also bagas/fikri win against shetty/RR and goes to QF.
    What have they eaten?

    Taufik going ballistic for not being chosen in Hall of Fame. He is like a kid that lost his toys it seems. Downplaying LCW achievements doesnt show a good look. I think its added that LD has long rivalry with LCW

    my thinking is just OG, AG, WC wont help you get there. You need consistency (longest WR1/ longest top 8), winning a lot of titles /SS, longevity.

    I am not a fan of LCW but I agree with you somehow.

    Is a player considered if he/she only won 1 WC or OG or...and then fade away?

    The case here are the contributions to the sport over the years.

    I can feel what TH is feeling, but wait a minute, is the satire aimed at LCW or is it BWF?
    Whatever it is, imho it's not elegant to write something that seems to satirize other player for an appreciation given that he himself never asked for.
    Btw, that's TH, his words were always as sharp as his back hand smash, LOL ...

    Can they not pair up Misaki Matsutomo with anyone else?
    I know age is catching up, but she's still not half bad. Although playing with YK is doing her no favours, maybe she's good only in WD? So many JPN young talents can benefit from her experience. Or maybe she herself has decided to only play XD?

    Minions vs KangSeo brings in 150k viewers yesterday i think in youtube.

    I think thats the most i seen. Should be broken later. If this is pay per view, they would stay garner enough to make the prize money obsolete.

    I think Carolina doesn’t get enough credit. She battled two career threatening injuries and is still performing at highest level. She at her prime was bulldozing opponents. I think she gets overshadowed by TTY (No offence to her, she is an altogether different class player) but I think if we are talking about GOAT (in terms of major medals, tournaments and dominance) debate, Carolina will take the cake from the present era (2014 onwards). Will it be Carolina vs Zhang Ning in the debate ?

    Just thought writing about this after watching a video from BWF insta where they posted a reel of ASY against CM and the caption was “it’s not easy to wrong feet Carolina Marin”. By watching the video , one can easily see Marin doesn’t have the same footwork or reactions (due to injuries or age or xyz factor). Makes it more impressive for Tai Tzu Ying as she’s the only player from previous batch (same age) to battle the likes of Akane Yamaguchi, Chen Yufei and An Se Young

    Gosh, the Korean team need to let Baek/Lee rest.
    If they're keep being pushed to play every single tournament, Lee So Hee's right knee will blow out before the olympic.

    If they are close enough then the crowd might help them.
