I am trying to watch, but it has become unwatchable for me. Constantly buffering and freezing or going dark. Is anyone else having the same experience? Thanks.

It was unwatchable during the afternoon, but the evening's match was Worlds better.
 
Jaspers won the tornament.He beat Blomdahl 50-39 with a near 2.6 average.Blomdahl also played very strongly with a 2 average.Blomdahl had chances but could not get high runs when he needed.

I think Blomdahl could have played more defensively rather than just outrunning Jaspers .He should have tried everything to lock him and disrupt his pace.Jaspers won nearly everything last year and against Blomdahl he did run a consecutive 36 numbers in the European Championship.Some 3C fans criticize him not being imaginative and they may be right to some extent,but the guy's stroke and concentration and precision is out of question.İn my humble opinion,He is lonely in presicion and concentration in all 3C world.Maybe Ralf Souquet from pool world can be compared to him in mental strength when approcahing a shot.

I do not know their respective records.I suspect Blomdahl must have beaten him more than Jaspers did ,but from the beginning of 2008, the story seems very different;Jaspers seems out of reach for now in terms of quality of play.
