2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

And... Nothing really. Fedor made too many mistakes in a match that should have never gotten to hill hill. On paper it shouldn't even be close, Fedor should be stealing. The margins are just too thin between these players, you can't make any mistakes. They have to play the most boring pool on the planet and still might not be able to win.
Pressure makes a pipe burst.

Controversial question- how long do you keep a dead player on Fargo?

I actually don't think deceased players should be removed from the TOP Lists at all.

Those lists have criteria, such as "must have 200 or 300 games in the last 2 years". They will fall off the list naturally. Why make a concerted effort to remove them as soon as they die? Its like asking the world to forget they existed, IMO.

Wow! Three jump-ins by Chua in one match. Absolutely brilliant.
Chua has been at the top of his game during the Reyes. It's why I think he is the third best player in the world, and someone I would never bet against no matter who he is playing.

I do think Manas is better than you think. Biggest problem for him has been a lack of maturity at the table relative to some of the greats you saw at a young age. He's been a bit too nonchalant and far too aggressive at times - the bane of youth.

Congrats matchroom, you have turned what should be the absolutely most exciting pool tournament to ever be witnessed and made it so boring and one sided that not even Filipinos will show up to watch it in their own country. That is an unparalleled accomplishment.

Get rid of these gaff pockets, stop putting players and coaches on the ROW team that have no business being there, and stop punishing European players like Filler. And while you are at it, quit using 60's cosplay cartoon characters for the between-matches entertainment.
I have to question whether Filipinos actually do show up at big pool matches in large crowds. Maybe they did in the past, but now?

In any case, Matchroom could not foresee that everyone on Team ROW would get a case of the yips at the same time. I mean Fedor, with a shirt foul?

AJ Manas has now been part of five winning points. Chua has been the best player on Team Asia, but Manas might just end up winning MVP.
