2014 World 9-Ball Championship
- Thread starter arps
- Start date
That only means higher chsnces of least 1 Filipino will get into final
Oh so other 126 players were playing in another venue ? LOL
I doubt he would pull such a stunt if Michaela Tabb was the refI think Boyes was nervous. He was just trying to calm his nerves.
They probably have a quality climate control system....
....but many venues don't know how to use it.
If they turn the air off at night, the system never catches up in the day...
....it could be 68 degrees by match time, but the humidity will be high.
...not the first venue that has done it
Stop all the bullshits seriously, the guy got a kick ealier in the match, he's playing his WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, the match down to hill hill and he had a opening. What you do in his position playing for your world champion dream knowing that it can be screwed by a kick. And it's HIS TURN to play so what the fack you guys talking about sharking, those filiphinos cheerleaders making noise, efren using his phone, are those moves considered as sharking ?
Johnny Archer once said to Earl :" Do whatever you want when you are at the table, now it's my turn so you shut the f*** up and let me play".
And I forgot the most important thing, Efren didn't say anything, only those railbirds and keyboard champions are the ones who start this BS.

How do you know it didn't need to be cleaned?
before the match even started, i already know that efren had a lesser chance of winning - Karl is a young world champion on top shape, playing his only chance to be in the last-64. efren had an unfortunate miss on the 9. karl won fair-n-square.
people were just wondering why he had to ask for the ball to be cleaned very frequently. a lot of people think that most of the time, it was unnecessary.
maybe it did if karl was using a brand of chalk like kamui that is like a paste
and combined with the brand of cue ball who knows
it did seem a little excessive
At last, someone who finally understands the need for a player to have confidence in the equipment that he is working with.
Air conditioning units can be controlled to a degree for human comfort. But mixing them with dehumidifiers can play havoc with the equipment. Karl was just giving himself the best chance to win what could prove to be a very important match. Otherwise, why just not bother to wipe down or chalk his cue at all. Just leave things to chance.
His playing record over the past five years puts him in the world's elite and you don't get there by being sloppy.
OK the show on and they are rock and rolling
No mercy, no second chances. Each of the 64 have to bring their A++ game or they are out.

I know, usually he plays under the Japanese flag, but for the stream in the last round he was playing under the Taiwanese flag and the bracket has him listed under Japan. Its a little confusing.
Holy crap Daz is currently putting a world class beat down on Darryl Peach (9-2). Based on stuff he's posted on social media Darren has a ton of confidence this week and it's showing.

He's originally a tawainese, he married to a japanese and moved to Japan with her. I suppose he never changes his nationality, maybe he represented Japan in some events but ultimately in the World Champion they look for his nationality.
Anyway. can anybody tell me the result of the 1st 8 matchs ? thank you.
A little interesting pool my buddies and I put together. Cheap $20 buy in, pick any 5 players in the final bracket. Earn 1 pt for each match their players win. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament, or by the time all of the chosen players are eliminated wins the pot.
Not really any easy choices.
Me - Can Wang, J Chua, Ko, Lo Li Wen, and Ralf
Brake - Daz, Gabica, Orcollo, SVB, and Toasty
Gweet - Daz, Hybler, Jiaqing, Kiamco, and SVB
Rob - Alex, Gabica, Mika, Naoyuki, and SVB
I'm just really excited about how well the streams are. This world class event really is a treat.

Nobody wanted Biado?
I'm fairly sure he is still a Taiwanese national because Japanese citizenship is very difficult to obtain for foreigners, but I believe he has represented Japan before in previous wpa events, if not the wpc. It could be due to passport/visa reasons.
I had the same thought.
Biado, Neils, and Lee Van all stuck out after I had highlighted our picks.
