Badzine had originally planned to have a correspondent reporting live from on site in Seoul.  However, for the second straight year, the tournament organizers have relegated the press to by far the worst seats in the house, with no security, and at practically the farthest point in the stadium from a ‘mixed zone’ that players are not obligated to enter.  As a result, our correspondent has decided to skip the event for the first time in twelve years.

We will, however, report the news from off site with live images from our partner Badmintonphoto.
