    I think CHN study Kevin/Marcus gameplay very well with Li/Liu and now Han/Zhou to counter them..it's like during LCW dominated SS and he can eat everyone easily but not LD and CL due to CHN study and counter his play too..

    Not sure what's going on with Li/Liu and Liu/Zhang. Both pair have been going through a strange patch recently, unbecomingly of former, and the reigning Wotld Champion.

    Don't take my word too much, but based on my obervation, Gideon seems to serve on chest-high instead of waist-high.

    Marcus has only himself to blame for the faults and to lose his concentration near the end of the game.

    Interestingly, the CN pair seems to me, not being drawn into the minions usual style of play i.e. fast flat aggressive play.

    Instead they turn the shuttle and lift long to the back. Forcing to minions to defend and out of their usual game mode.

    They didn't play around in the first game. Looks like they were struggling to play against the drift. No smash power.
    They could have taken G3, but well we know what happened near the end of the game.

    And the CHN played smart.

    Focusing on WS, CYF vs AY.
    CYF have a hard task to dethrone the champion here, but there are chances of winning here, through the hard way.
    Endless grinding of AY and retrieving everything from her might be a good tactic to win for once.

    And his chest-high is definitely not 1.15 unless he is less than 1.6m tall. So he should be able to do the math himself lol

    SF still a good result for minions. Luckily this didnt happen at AE.

    Someone has to review the service judges. If you want to beat them, how can it be this way? No way gideon serves higher or lower make any difference to opponents when 190+cm guys can serve as they like in the past and present. so?

    They are already short . I dont think they need to get cheated more.

    so difficult to get a point.

    Here. Gideon preparing to serve, and his actual contact point at serve. Tell me that's not chest high. Pretty obvious to everyone except himself. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Me too. I enjoy their commentating combo. *Keeping fingers crossed *

    Will be good to have them commentating together for finals days.

    Just a bit disappointed for the minions to lose more because of the service faults rather than go down fighting.. oh well.
    Hope Marcus would learn some lessons from this.

    Go CYF
