I was watching the latest wan show and Linus said he was going to play Badminton afterwards and previously he had posted badminton related things on Instagram.

 

So I was thinking why not have a LTT Badminton Tournament!

 

First to 11, and Linus starts at -5 every round to even it out.

 

You can maybe even make a series out of it.

I have an i5 and many other things

I think it would be funny if Linus wouldn't play at all or would only use some non-standard equipment while others use real rackets etc. He has played the game for long and even said to participate on regional tournaments. Its would be too unfair to compete against someone who hasn't played at all or is occasional player only. Not super fun. Not even to watch and definitely not to play.

 

On side of the subject. I've always seen CSF videos as such that the participating persons are also having fun.

I think Linus would have to be drunk for the others to have any chance, as I used to play (friendly lol) with someone who competed for our area I know how good they can be (Very!). So yeah, if Linus downs a jamiesons or something similar beforehand.

Yeah I doubt it would be interesting. Super Fun sporting events work best when no one has ever done it before :P

Yeah. Also you seem quite skilled in that JayBird BlueBuds review and you'd probably still rek everyone even with a handicap of -5 points. I play Badmintion myself but I don't know if I could keep up with you :P

Has anyone at LMG ever played football?

If you mean American Football, Berkel and Light would probably wreck Taran and Linus, only Luke would stand a chance.

If you mean Soccer, then I'm not sure who would be best.

It might work if the shuttlecock was replaced with a flashbang grenade...

(no, I am not responsible for any injuries sustained should any party proceed to play badminton with a grenade)
