Not gonna survive, thats bold, you clearly underestimated them i think, just put Ahsan/Hendra there and compares them, i would say they would still top them but wouldnt be as dominant in MD as like nowThis match just proving it yet again that MFG/KSS are not gonna survive in LYD and Cai/Fu era. if they're already frustated against yuta/endo can you imagine if they play peak LYD/JJS ? or Cai/Fu ? or even KKK/TBH ? lol
yuta/endoWho ?
What ? I'm just saying if MFG/KSS are struggling against defensive pair like endo/yuta can you imagine they play someones like LYD/JJS or Cai/Fu ? their defense was as solid as yuta/endo with much better attack, I don't think they would survive against prime KKK/TBH either, they'll bore them to death with their defense lol.yuta/endo
there is a reason kevin/marcus is no 1, because they are the best at the moment.

Ahsan/hendra are different, they're very clever...there's a reason why they beat yuta/endo time and time again, they have good attack from the back and hendra is a magician at the front, very unpredictable. the only reason MFG/KSS keep beating them is because of their weak defense, their defense suck...Not gonna survive, thats bold, you clearly underestimated them i think, just put Ahsan/Hendra there and compares them, i would say they would still top them but wouldnt be as dominant in MD as like now
kind of agree with thisThis match just proving it yet again that MFG/KSS are not gonna survive in LYD and Cai/Fu era. if they're already frustated against yuta/endo can you imagine if they play peak LYD/JJS ? or Cai/Fu ? or even KKK/TBH ? lol

FHF defense had improve massively since 2010/2011, I agree it was pretty weak before that but since 2011 it's been really solid. when he played with zhang nan I also feel he got the better defense out of the 2.Fui Haifeng didn't have good defense. Yuta and Endo have way better defense than Fui Haifeng. Fui Haifeng's strength was his smash.
Just like marvin was lucky winning 7-8 tournament last year without having to beat dota ?dota need to win more titles
if not, then they are just a lucky mediocre pair
lucky to beat marvin 6 in a row
lol

I agree with you, FHF defense was definitely not as strong as Yuta/Endo's, only LYD/JJS and probably KKK/TBH had better defense than them, though I think Yuta/Endo's defense is slightly more creative than KKK/TBH who seems to be too passive in their defense.Well, I can tell you that the key to FHF winning was to keep his side away from defense. Cai Yun could control the game and get his side on the attack, with favored FHF's smash, which was his greatest weapon. In games which Cai Yun and FHF lost, it was because the opponents picked on FHF's defense.
As for the 2016 Olympics, the MD tournament was a joke. LYD was favored going in the tournament and he blew it early on. In the finals, Zhang Nan and FHF won not because they played well, but because Malaysia layed an egg in the finals. Both sides were nervous in the gold medal match, both sides made a lot of mistakes, Malaysia was leading at the end but then Malaysia made some unforced errors, which gave the gold away to Zhang Nan and FHF. It's like when Viktor Axelsen beat Tian Houwei in the finals of the Dubai SS finals but they both played bad and you wondered how that could be the finals.
Anyways, Endo and Watanabe's defense is a step above FHF. It's not even close between their defense and FHF. It was FHF's smash that was his greatest weapon. His defense was always his liability.
Momota had a foot injury at the beginning of 2018 which kept him from participating in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. This also meant he couldn't play All England, because he didn't have enough ranking points. His first two WT tournaments were Swiss and German Open in February and he didn't do well in either because of the recovery. His first tournament with free movement was the Asia Championship in 2018 and he won that beating CTC, LCW, SYQ and CL.Momota wasn't the top player at beginning of 2018 when he started to play in the SS. If my memory is correct, Momota struggled at the Thailand and Malaysian open at the beginning of 2018. When Momota was banned in 2016, he still wasn't the best player in the world yet.
Momota didn't become #1 the summer of 2018. So who knows if Momota would have won the WC in 2017, because he wasn't performing like a top player at the beginning of 2018. One thing though is that Momota's style counters Axelsen. So if Axelsen had met Momota in 2017, Momota's style may have knocked Axelsen out, not that Momota was the top player in the world in 2017.
this isn't jr's where everyone 'deserves' something. it's professional sports, not charity. you earn your moments. endo earned his today.in the end , lets accept that it is Endo blessings to win this tournament , everyone deserves their moment.
impo hiroyuta are better. the game is much faster and more physically demanding now.Well i dare to say that endo/watanabe defense for tonight is on par with LYD/JJS its just crazy, the only question is can they maintain it
Their defense is definitely not better than LYD..impo hiroyuta are better. the game is much faster and more physically demanding now.
Draw against the Daddies in the last 8, and then the Russians in the semi, with both pairs having better H-H records against them, i think Endo/Yuta’s path to the final is not easy. Then of course to dig deep and beat the Minions which is never easy, its a thoroughly well deserved win.
That is 3 former AE winners that they beaten this week.
